Alfoxton is not like the average commercial Boarding Kennel. Here we don't need to offer different levels of  service as all our dogs are treated as gold customers. We aim to understand each and every dog and make them feel comfortable during their stay.

That's why our doggy guests don’t just sit around in a small pen for 95% of the day. Instead they can be taken outside into one of the outdoor paddocks.

Depending on the weather, our more active social dogs can spend most of the day out with a few mates in one of the four Group Paddocks. They can relax on the grass, play some games and fall asleep under the trees (at there is no extra cost to you).

At Alfoxton we don’t forget about our feline friends. Therefore we have built our cosy mudbrick Catty Shack. Heated thru winter and heavily insulated to protect against the hot summer days - even the most fussy cat is sure to find a place to curl up for a snooze.

Most cats are not particularly social, especially with strangers, therefore we provide a  fully indoor facility that allows security, comfort and their own private space.  Perhaps your cat chooses to hide away, or alternatively, lounging on a chair in the sun where they can gaze out the large picture window across the paddocks.

The Catty Shack also has a couple of rooms designed for those little dogs who are used to sleeping on mum’s bed all day. Those little dudes who might find the activity of the kennel environment a little much, might feel more comfortable staying in these motel units. We still encourage a good exercise program and take these guys out into a garden area whenever the weather is suitable.
