Just like children off to school; the first day might be a little overwhelming. It is natural if your dog displays some anxiety when being collected or when meeting new dogs for the first time. Introductions are done slowly and carefully. Your dog is given positive experiences and is able to adjust to and explore new surroundings at their own pace; under the watchful eye of an experienced carer.
Total transparency between Allpets and owners. If your dog starts to display any negative behaviours after attending daycare for a couple of days or is reluctant to get in the van it might be that they do not enjoy going.

Your dog looks content and relaxed when they get home.

Cats in particular are territorial creatures and feel more secure in their own familiar environment.
They are more likely to maintain regular eating and toileting habits.
In a cattery cats are housed in single small enclosures with communal areas where they encounter other cats.
Close proximity to unknown cats can cause undue stress, possible injury and the increased risk of spread of disease.
In catteries cats often eat each other’s food, mark their territory and become hostile.
If you have more than one cat it works out cheaper to have your pets cared for at home.
You don’t have to worry about dropping off or picking up your pets. Simply come home to happy contented pets.
You have the added advantage of having a home security check daily and can take advantage of our other services at the same time.
