Acorn Kennels & Cattery

Established in 2005, Acorn Kennels and Cattery is committed to providing the very best care for your pet while you are away. With that in mind we started a 2-phase project to build brand new, modern, comfortable accommodation for both dogs and cats. The first phase was a new kennel block, which was opened in the summer of 2011. With 10 purpose built kennels of varying sizes we can accommodate all

breeds of dogs ranging from the smallest Chihuahua to the largest Cane Corso. Each pen has an indoor sleeping area with underfloor heating and equipped with a Kuranda Dog Bed of an appropriate size to suit your dog. Attached to each pen is an individual fully covered outdoor run which is accessible via a hatch throughout the day from 8am to 10pm. In addition to access to the outdoor run, your dog will be taken into our 800m2 exercise field 4 times a day to burn off some energy or simply to nosey around. Where possible your dog may be let out to play with a small group of dogs of similar age and character. All dogs are fed twice a day and we use only the best high quality food from Royal Canin. If your pet has a special prescription diet or has a delicate tummy then we recommend that you bring a sufficient supply of their own food (and medication if necessary) for the duration of their stay. Prescription medication will be given in accordance to your written instructions at no extra charge. The second phase was our new purpose-built UPVc cattery, which opened in 2015. The cattery, which was designed, supplied and installed by Peticular Pens Ltd, has a total of 13 pens (10 standard pens for 2 cats, 2 queen-size pens for 4 cats, and 1 king-size pen for 6 cats. The pens have an indoor sleeping area with individually controlled underfloor heating, 2 sleeping shelves and 2 cats flaps to access their fully covered outdoor run. The outdoor run has a full length viewing shelf and large glazed panels either side to allow plenty of natural light in and to keep an eye on the neighbours! The safety corridor at the front of the cat pens overlooks the garden and fields beyond and ensures an extra level of security. The cats are fed twice daily with the best quality cat food from Royal Canin (Fit 32). If your cat is on a prescription diet or medication then we advise that you bring sufficient supply for the duration of their stay. Not all kennels and catteries are the same so we always recommend that you 'view before you book' and we look forward to your enquiry.
