Kennels

Country Paws Boarding kennels Christchurch kennels02
Housing

For the large guys n gals we have fully insulated indoor units with heat pumps installed which are used to heat in the cooler months or cooled in the warmer months of summer. We also have outdoor covered units for those mild summer nights. There are double units to house the family groups that like to sleep together.

​

 The little guys are well separated from the large guys, in their own fully insulated night pens with heat pumps installed which are used to keep them warm and cozy in the cooler months and they can be cooled in the warmer months if needed. The units are big enough to sleep 2 dogs for those families that like to stay together otherwise they can sleep side by side.

​

All bedding can be supplied or bring your own if you wish to but please no bean bags.

Exercise / Playtime

All dogs are exercised frequently through out the day in one of our 18 exercise pens / yards, weather permitting and under supervision. Exercise / play is normally in social compatible groups as assessed by us according to size and temperaments.

​

For those that like to entertain themselves or do their own thing, then we have enough yards to accommodate that as well.

Feeding

All dogs are fed separately in the comfort and safety of their own individual runs.
Family units can be fed together under supervision or separated if required.
We feed your furry friends top premium quality dry food "Royal Canin" catering to all life stages or requirements, Senior, Puppy, Small Breed


The Dry menu is also complimented with a portion of premium dog roll.

​

If your dog is used to a particular brand then you are more than welcome to bring your own. Here at Country Paws we will try to maintain the same feeding routine you have at home so if your dog is being fed twice a day then we can accommodate that as well.
