Mosside Kennels and Cattery

A typical day at Mosside

• Good Morning to Mosside Dogs! Hatches are opened at sunrise to allow access to the outside area of their kennel, a taste of fresh Yorkshire air and a long stretch whilst staff prepare breakfast.
• Time spent off-lead in the large exercise areas whilst their kennel is cleaned, bedding and water changed and breakfast provided for their return.
• After socialising with the staff in the exercise areas a return to their kennel and breakfast. This is followed by downtime, a relaxing snooze in peace and quiet whilst the kennels are closed.
• The second exercise time is mid-afternoon whilst their kennel is tidied up and refreshed. Another playtime and a return to the kennel for tea.
• At sunset we close the hatches and turn on the heating (when required). The guests then settle down in a their cozy environment, enjoy a treat and a hug goodnight.

The Kennels

Our dog kennels are modern and purpose built. They are insulated and heated and are made from tough polypropylene with aluminium. This design makes them hard to damage and hygienic to clean which is critical to the control of disease in a boarding environment.

We also cater for families of dogs but only accommodate multiples if they are from the same household.

All accommodation comes with a comfortable, insulated sleeping area, which can be heated in winter and an out door run to allow daily fresh air and space for a stretch.

Each kennel is cleaned out several times a day and scrubbed down throughout on a daily basis with high quality, animal friendly disinfectant suitable for all areas and equipment in animal establishments. Its formulation is designed to destroy bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycrobacteria and bacteria spores to help prevent cross infection.

Exercise

We understand that exercise is important and must be tailored to the health, age and fitness of each individual dog. Time out of the kennel is also important for the pets to relieve themselves and to help establish their relationship with us. Dogs are exercised individually at least twice a day off the lead in one of our large secure play areas where they can engage with staff and socialise next to other guests (but not physically touch them for safety reasons).

Food

We provide a nutritious, complete dry food which we feed alongside canned meat which the dogs find very appetising.

Alternatively, you may prefer to bring your dogs food so that they can continue to have the same food as they normally have at home, particularly for younger dogs, fussy eaters or those with sensitive tummies. Please allow enough food for the full stay, left in closed containers, sealed tins or sealed bags, complete with feeding instructions and an appropriate measure (scoop, cup etc..). We also have a fridge and freezer for storage of fresh food.

Treats are also provided along with music during the day, love attention and or a brush or belly scratch as required.

Prescription diets can be catered for. These need to be supplied by the owner.

Bedding

All guests are provided with a plastic oval bed to suit their size. This is supplied with a range of comfy bedding. Bedding is changed often twice a day depending on the weather, to ensure your pet always has a clean dry bed to lie on and a clean safe environment.

Toys

We supply a diverse range of toys which are disinfected on a regular basis to ensure they are always clean and germ free.

Bathing Services

We provide a bathing service if desired (subject to availability). Prices range between £10 and £20 depending on the size, coat and temperament of your dog. Please book this in advance if required.
