How does Kybrooke Pet Resort – Melbourne Dog Boarding Kennel Do This?

There are many factors involved in a dogs health and wellbeing, both physical and mental, that will ensure their ongoing happiness and health in a pet accommodation facility
These are as follows;

• Safe environment – all pet accommodation areas and exercise areas are safe and contained. All areas within our pet accommodation facility are maintained and regularly upgraded for comfort.
• Comfortable environment – all pet accommodation areas are protected from the elements, have comfortable beds, clean and provide clean fresh water. We also make sure that in our dog accommodation, each dog has a neighbour that they are friends with.
• Fully trained staff – all our staff are fully trained in our dog boarding kennels. They have attention to detail and fully inspect and health check your dog twice a day. All our girls are dog and indeed animal lovers and thoroughly enjoy their work.
• Policies and procedures – in our Melbourne boarding kennels we have strict policies and procedures that are enforced and checked regularly so that the highest quality care is given to each pet whilst in our Melbourne dog boarding kennel.
• High Quality Meals & Food – All dogs boarding with us receive high quality meals. We do not believe in cheap brand products and our own dog family members receive the same meals as our guests.
• Exercise and human interaction – The physical and mental wellbeing of dogs in accommodation, it is very important to ensure there is plenty of people interaction and exercise. Our dog activities – playtimes, nature walks, cuddletimes and treats ensure that your dog in accommodation receives the same care and attention than if they were at home with you.

At Kybrooke Pet Resort pet accommodation the choice for us has involved many hours of research, attending seminars and many different trials. Here is a summary of the meals your pet will received when in our Melbourne dog boarding kennel.

For dogs, we serve two different types of food. The first is a locally produced fresh product called 4legs. It is made of human grade chicken, rice & vegetables with no preservatives in bit size pieces. This very palatable and is wonderful for dogs who are accustomed to fresh food, older dogs and smaller dogs. Depending on what your dog likes to eat, dry food can be offered at our boarding kennels.

The dry food that we serve at our dog boarding kennels is very high quality – Royal Canin. This brand of dry food comes in Mini – for our smallest dogs, Medium for medium dogs, Maxi for our larger dog like Labradors, German Short Haired Pointers etc. and a puppy variety that is offered to all dogs under the age of 12 months.

The frequency of meals at our dog boarding kennels are served according to the type of dog. Our main is given in the afternoon. We offer a light breakfast to all dogs, with the exception of puppies and any other dogs who need a full breakfast or have a medical requirement.

All treats given to dogs who come to our dog boarding kennels are preservative free and are naturally dried. We find these a nutritious and valuable part of the dogs’ health and wellbeing, where we pride ourselves in offering the best for your dog at our boarding kennels.

Our daily routine is as follows for the purpose of this article, we have called the dog – Jack;

First thing in the morning Jacks’ pet accommodation is fully cleaned, disinfected and water changed. During this time, his carers, Maddi, Jayde or Jodie take him to a grassed exercise area to toilet, run, sniff, play etc. His carers will chat to him on the way to and from the exercise yard and take note of his general wellbeing. He then goes back into his dog accommodation to enjoy breakfast, a health check, a pat and cuddle.

When all the dogs are cared for, it is time to start the fun stuff! He is scheduled for daily playtimes, nature walks and treats. Maddi puts him on to an extend-a-lead and head out through the bush track for a 30 minute walk. This walk goes past our dam, through the bush and past the house. Very relaxing, stimulating and shady. After his outing, he is returned to his dog accommodation area for a drink and a rest. He is settled into his run with his treat – today a pig ears and he can chew this and rest until mid afternoon when it is time for his playtime.

Jack is very social and loves the company of other dogs. A few of his good mates, Rusty the Lab, Jaxson the Golden Retriever and Aston the Dalmatian all play nicely together and they are supervised by Maddi who is also available to give cuddles, throw a ball, play tug-o-war and rub tummies etc. After this fun time, we head back to the dog accommodation area for another rest. Before we know it, dinnertime is upon us and our healthy and delicious meals are served. Each meal is weighed and made up individually for each dog. Dogs are also weighed on a regular basis to ensure that the meals we are serving are correct. After dinner, those lovely girls take him back out to the exercise area so he can toilet, sniff, run & play before we then tuck him into bed, in his lovely accommodation.

This has been a busy, fun and stimulating day for Jack. He sleeps in his lovely accommodation, to reenergize for what the next day brings. In his dreams……..’will it be Maddi, Jayde, Jodie, Emily, Karen or Mark tomorrow……….what will my delicious treat be?…….will my best buddy Rusty still be here……..’ Pleasant dreams Jack.

Set in the hills surrounding Melbourne, this dog boarding kennel is more than a place to give you pet accommodation, this is a truly unique home away from home for pets. What makes Kybrooke so special? Definitely our understanding of animals! Dogs come to our boarding kennels with a happy waggy tail and are happy to come back to us time and time again. Most of them wave goodbye with their tail as soon as they enter our pet accommodation office and lead us to their dog accommodation area. We know how to keep pets happy. Some dogs prefer the quiet life and are happy to relax with treats and plenty of pats, others are fun loving and have friends, plays and walks. Others require gentle understanding and cuddles. We have made some wonderful friends for life, just by using our knowledge of dogs and using it to make their stay at Kybrooke a lovely holiday experience that they want to do again.
