Is My Dog Suitable For Home Boarding At Waggy Tails?
We are not a kennel and your dog will be living in our home, with our own trusted dogs, and our visiting human friends from time to time.
Not all dogs are suitable for boarding in this home environment. We are, therefore, not able to take dogs who are aggressive, destructive or have any other behavioural issues. Dogs who are prone to regular or prolonged barking may also not be suitable. If your dog whines or barks excessively we may suggest that alternative accommodation be sought for their next holiday. They will need to be socialised, house-trained and of good temperament.
We are not able to accommodate lady dogs who are, or are expected to be, on heat during their stay.
We do accommodate un-neutered male if they are trained to behave in an acceptable manner.
Before a booking is confirmed you can visit us for a 'Sniffing In' to make sure your dog will be happy to stay with us here. This is not compulsory.
BOARDING: 40€ per day.
This includes the day your dog arrives regardless of time of arrival.
The day of departure fee is 20€ if pickup is after 12.00.
Pick-up and drop-off times will be arranged at the time of booking.
10% discount on visits two weeks or more
BOOKING:
Please call or email to arrange a time to visit.
After an initial chat we can then arrange a 'sniffing-in' visit for us to meet, and for your dog to meet our dog Jack and Tango the guide dog puppy.
During this visit you can chat about the needs of your dog and confirm arrangements.
PAYMENT:
A 50% deposit will be due at the time of booking. This confirms the holiday place.
The deposit is non-refundable should you cancel your dogs' holiday.
Should you return early from your holiday, and wish to pick your dog up, there will be no refund for any remaining days.
Payment will be done via online banking.

VACCINATIONS
Your dog should always have its annual vaccinations kept up to date. They will also need to have been wormed and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs must have had annual vaccinations against Kennel Cough. This vaccine must have been administered at least 10 days prior to your dog's stay.
PHOTOS OF VACCINATION CERTIFICATES CAN BE SENT VIA E-MAIL.
WHAT TO BRING
For all stays please bring your dog's usual food.
We provide everything else they need for their stay.
We would prefer it if you did NOT bring your dog's bed. This is for hygiene reasons, as well as to avoid possessive behaviour, as we do find that most dogs always prefer someone else's!
Medications can be given but please discuss this with us at the time of enquiry. If your dog needs extra medical care we'd like to discuss this beforehand to arrange this.
SAFETY
During their stay all dogs wear our ID tag.
If your dog causes damage you will be expected to reimburse us for any damage done.
In the event of your dog exhibiting aggressive, uncontrollable or negative behaviour towards either us or other dogs we will separate your dog from other and this will incur an extra fee. This also applies to persistent, prolonged or regular barking. We will, of course, discuss any issues with you and notify you of any actions taken.
