Got questions about your dog’s beach holiday? Our FAQs answer everything from bookings to care and safety, ensuring a smooth, happy stay at Barking Brancaster.
I have my own insurance for liability but if your dog will become unwell and need to see the vet, he/she will need health insurance. By law I cannot accept a dog who is not up to date on vaccinations. I will need to see every dogs vaccination certificate before their stay?
I encourage trial stays particularly if your dog is staying for more than a few days. Your dog(s) will be the only dogs staying during their trial so I can get to know them.
Availability permitting it is possible to have your dog(s) staying without other dogs. There may be an additional charge for this service.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible as owners/dog’s preferences vary, I try to accommodate so your pet gets the best night’s rest possible, each dog has its own room if needed but are also welcome to sleep in my room or in the living room etc
House and garden are doggy proofed and saftey gated throughout (conforming to local & national animal welfare guidelines and inspected anually), indoor and outdoor play areas with toys, beds etc, pet’s allowed on furniture, kitchen surfing permitted but not encouraged.
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours. For example if it is not comfortable around other animals, has specific medication requirements or health problems, has had any lapse in vaccinations, worming or defleaing. Please also make sure your dog’s health insurance is up to date.
If your pet is undergoing behaviour therapy or specific training that needs to be continued during stay please let me know.
Please provide enough food, favorite treats and any relevant medication for the duration.
Additionally, although beds can be provided, its advisable that you provide your pets usual bed and perhaps a favorite toy. Towels are provided as needed. I use johnson baby shampoo if soap washing is required, if that’s not suitable please let me know. (Full checklist of what to consider sent after confirmation, council licensing regulations also require you complete a registration & consent form)
Pets love schedules and knowing what’s happening next, let me know what they get up to for fun and if you want to maintain a particular routine I’ll be happy to accommodate.
