Quarantine for Dogs

Official Defra Information Click Here

QUARANTINE KENNELS

We are the only Quarantine Kennels covering Devon and Cornwall. We offer full six month quarantine facilities or the PETS early release scheme. Our purpose built kennels are large and spacious. Each kennel unit has an internal bedroom unit, individually heated together with a large exterior run. We are a small quarantine station with only 17 kennels. We are, therefore, able to offer individual love and attention to each dog in our care. We are set in the beautiful Devon countryside benefitting from a milder climate than most other parts of the UK. On-line quarantine enquiry……..

Kennel Sharing

Under quarantine regulation from DEFRA a maximum of three dogs are allowed to share one unit. These dogs must be from the same family.

Feeding

Dogs are fed a complete diet, with tripe flavoured gravy. We are also able to offer light diets, senior diets, tinned meats or cooked chicken with mixer. Special diets are catered for on request and may be subject to a small additional cost. You are welcome to bring in titbits and treats but please tell us what you are giving to your pet just in case of tummy upsets.

Visiting

After the initial 48 hour settling in period.Owners are welcome to visit daily between 1.30pm and 4.00pm. With the exception of the Xmas and New Year bank holidays. It is our experience that dogs benefit greatly from regular visits.

Veterinary Care

A Veterinary surgeon attends the quarantine kennels six days a week, as this is required by DEFRA. He is on call for emergencies at all times. On arrival into Quarantine your dog will receive a complete health check and will automatically be vaccinated for Rabies (not on PETS scheme) and kennel cough. We insist that dogs are fully vaccinated on arrival. If your dog does not have up to date vaccinations these will be administered and billed directly to you from the veterinary surgery. We strongly recommend that you take out Pet Health Care insurance to cover your dog during the stay in Quarantine.

Collection

We are approved carrying agents for DEFRA which means we will collect your dog from the port/airport of arrival. We will ensure that all customs requirements are met.

Booking

Once you decide to book all you need to do is complete the Application and Agreement Form. We will then arrange for all the necessary documents for a smooth entry to the UK. We can arrange to book flights for you. Please contact us by e-mail or phone to discuss costs and payment facilities.
