HOLIDAY DOGS BOARDING AGREEMENT
We take great pride in the care of any animal in our charge and request that leads, collars, harnesses
etc are in good condition, fit for purpose and the correct fitting to ensure your dog’s safety at all
times.
All dogs will be walked on a lead, should you wish your dog to be exercised off lead then please
indicate this by signing your acceptance on the ‘Boarding Requirement’ form. This goes along with
you accepting responsibility of any outcome of this action, including if your dog causes a
confrontation with another animal and causes harm.
Pre Boarding Visit – for dogs staying with a Holiday Dog Host Carer
To ensure that your dog(s) has an enjoyable stay with us is it is a requirement that we meet all new
dogs prior to acceptance of boarding. Owners may be asked to leave the dog(s) with the Holiday
Dog Host Carer for a while so we can access the dog’s temperament/character whilst away from the
owner. We have the dog’s best interest in mind and it is paramount that our host carers are
completely satisfied upon acceptance into home boarding.
Pre Boarding Visit – for dogs staying at the Holiday Home in Kesgrave.
For new dogs staying at the Holiday Dogs’ Home in Kesgrave, you will be required to drop off your
dog(s) at an agreed day/time and leave within our care for the duration of the day at a cost of £15.
Please note that this will be non-refundable and non-transferrable. Dogs boarded at the Holiday
Dogs home will be socialising with dogs from other owners so therefore must fit a certain criteria
before we can accept them into boarding. It is vital that we assess their temperament/character
throughout the course of the day, for this reason we will not accept quick ‘pop in’ visits with the
owner.
We reserve the right to refuse any dog(s) into our care should we feel that they do not fit our
criteria, this applies to our Holiday Dogs Host Carers and at the Holiday Dogs home in Kesgrave.
Boarding
Annual vaccinations must be up to date and your dog(s) vaccination certificate(s) must be left upon
drop off for the duration of your dog’s stay. Although it is not a requirement that your dog(s) are to
be vaccinated against kennel cough, it is highly recommended due to this becoming an increasingly
common condition. Holiday Dogs will not be held responsible should you dog(s) become infected
with this illness whilst within our care.
Your dog(s) must be free of worms, ticks and fleas and up to date with relevant treatments of the
same. Any infestation of worms, ticks or fleas will be treated following veterinary advice at your
expense.
Although host carers will only board one owner’s dog each time, you give your acceptance that in
some circumstances your dog may be boarded with another dog. This is usually in the case where
the host carer already has their own pet dog(s), or if there is an overlap in drop off/collection.
Please call Mary-Ann, 07712 270415 should you wish to discuss this further.
In Special Cases
Some dogs may not be suited to home boarding and it could be that for their own safety and that of
others that they will require to be kennelled. Please note that this is only in extreme
circumstances, but should this prove necessary then we reserve the right to kennel your dog(s). The
charges for this will be met by you and the costs of your dog stay with HOLIDAY DOGS will still apply.
Arrival and Departure Dates and Times
We understand that delays can sometimes happen and we will therefore be as flexible as possible. It
is a requirement that you notify us of any such delays, should the boarding require extending then
charges will apply.
Owners who decide to collect their dog(s) earlier than the agreed time/date will not be given a
refund .
Medication
Please supply any medication with full written instructions, not only of doses, but how your dog has
experienced the administering of such. Please also ensure that any special instructions are given in
writing with full detail.
Vet Details
In some cases it may be necessary for your dog to visit the vet during their stay, in this case we will
use your registered vet (please provide details below) providing they are within reasonable driving
distance. If however your registered vet is not local then we reserve the right to use a selected vet.
Owners will be liable for all veterinary fees and these must be settled in full prior to collection of
the dog(s).
It is a requirement that you state any medical conditions in writing together with details on
medication required. Please also state any recent veterinary treatment that your dog(s) has
received, this could give us valid information regarding your dog’s health during your absence.
It is important that we have the correct contact details for you while you are away, or in an
emergency then a name and telephone details of your nominated emergency contact
Should your dog(s) become ill/injured during their stay we will make every effort to contact you or
your nominated emergency contact. If all attempts to contact you fail and decisions need to be
made upon the welfare of the dog(s) then we will act upon the judgment of the vet.
Having read and understood these Terms and Conditions, I the owner agree to accept and abide
by them.
