Boarding Info
Information for our canine guests
Requirements
Vaccinations
- All pets must be fully immunised and they must bring a current C5 Vaccination certificate with them.
- They must have received their C5 or equavalient vaccination a minimum of 2 weeks prior to their check in date.
- As some veterinarians use a live virus your dog needs time to build up its resistance and is therefore at risk until 10 days after the vaccination.
- We CANNOT make any exceptions.
Canine Cough
Yes your dog is vaccinated against Canine Cough (kennel cough) but this does not give your dog total immunity.
Whilst Granite Hill ensure a spotless environment and only accepts fully vaccinated guests, vaccinations can only reduce symptoms, they do not prevent your
dog contracting canine cough as it is an airborne virus and floats around the Melbourne region during certain times of the year.
Dog coats
- If your pet wears a coat bring it along with them
- Please make sure the coat is clearly named
Bedding
Granite Hill provides all beds and bedding.
Feeding & General Care
Premium Meals
Our menu consists of a quality dry food – Royal Canin mixed with a delicious chicken and brown rice loaf or chicken and vegetable loaf
Our guests are fed twice a day at no extra charge
Special Diets & medications
- If your pet requires a special medical diet we are happy to make sure this is served, so bring this as well.
- Medication can be administered as directed by you.
- Please ensure any provided meals or medications are clearly labelled.
Veterinary Care
- We have a Vet on call 24 hours a day and if your pet should become ill we arrange immediate care either with your vet, if they are in the local area, or this clinic.
Our canine guests enjoy a spacious modern facility with a country garden outlook and dedicated caring staff.
The sleeping quarters are constructed from state of the art material which ensures your pets are cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Our kennel area is a very new modern set up. All the living areas are insulated for warmth in the winter and are white to reflect the heat in the summer. These quarters are double sized and designed to be able to comfortably accommodate two large dogs.
All Suites have a cooling misting system for the summer time and for the winter months there is overhead heating in all our accommodation.
At night the quarters are fully enclosed and during the day there is immediate access to large areas where your pet can relax and enjoy the view of trees and garden. Throughout the day our canine friends are taken into large grassed play areas where they can chase a ball, play with their companion or just relax on the grass.
At the end of the day our canine friends are placed in their sleeping quarters and given a treat help settle at night.
We are happy to accommodate all breeds and sizes. We will accept undesexed males and in season females but there is an additional charge for undesexed males.
Making Friends
If you pet is staying on his or her own then we recommend that we find a suitable friend for your pet so that they have a compatible companion to share their holiday with.
Dogs enjoy companionship and are used to having company at home (yours) so a friend makes their stay even more enjoyable.
