Your Dog’s Stay at BLACK PAWS Pet Care & Boarding 🐾 Dogs staying with us are free to relax and enjoy the house as part of the family. They will also have access to our large, secure, fully fenced garden throughout the day. We provide both mental and physical stimulation through playtime in the garden, enrichment activities, and walks where required. - Meeting Our Resident Dog, Spike 🐶 We believe in being completely transparent about our resident French Bulldog, Spike. Spike isn’t particularly social or playful with other dogs. During meet-and-greets, he may initially react due to being protective of his home and territory. However, he settles quickly and generally prefers to do his own thing, spending most of his day sleeping in his bed. If you would like, we can introduce Spike to your dog during the meet-and-greet to ensure everyone is comfortable before booking. - What to Bring for Your Dog’s Stay 💼 *Please bring: 🍖 Food – Please provide enough food for your dog’s stay and let us know their feeding schedule and portion sizes. 🥣 Food and Water Bowls – Many dogs prefer using their own bowls. 🛏️ Bed or Blanket – Familiar smells help dogs settle more comfortably in a new environment. 🐾 Lead and Harness/Collar 💊 Any Medication – Along with clear instructions if applicable. 🏥 Registered Vet Details – For your dog’s safety and our records. 🐶 And of course, your dog! 🥰 - Drop-Off & Collection 🚪 For boarding bookings, drop-off and collection times will be according to the times agreed and confirmed through the booking platform. - Day Care Hours 🕑 Day care drop-off and collection times are: Drop-off: 7:00am – 9:00am Collection: 4:00pm – 6:00pm - Collections after 6:00pm will be charged as an overnight boarding stay, with collection the following morning. - Extended Stays We are happy to accommodate longer stays, subject to availability.
