Duck End Farm Kennels and Cattery
The main kennels have underfloor heating and have attached covered runs.
We also have a separate area for pampered pooches and for small or frightened dogs.
The kennels have 100ft individual grass runs so that every dog can go out for 1.5 to 2 hours every day.
We also take diabetic dogs and other dogs that might need injections or other medication.
We offer extras such as playtime, cuddle time and country walks as well as a pre collection bath so that they smell fresh and clean when you come to pick them up.
We also offer a collection and delivery service for those people who don't have time to take their dog to kennels or just don't want their car to be covered in dog hairs.
The kennels also incorporates a dog grooming parlour that is run by Emma Gooding and is called Four Paws Grooming.
She is an excellent dog groomer and can trim all breeds.
Your dog doesn't have to be staying in the kennels to come down for a wash, trim or groom at Four Paws Dog Grooming.

Dear Martin,
Just a quick email saying thank you. Your kennels are superb and our dogs are not only happy but healthier for being there. We'd like to enquire as to what food you fed them? It may be helpful for keeping their weight down. Our lab, Lucy, looks fabulous and we'd like to continue her weight loss then control. Also, can you tell me if Girlfriend was active whilst in your care? She's galloping and playing now. She's not done that for a long time. Again, thank you for your caring and having such a fantastic place for us to house our family members whilst we're on holiday. It's like they were on holiday too!
Regards,
Jeanne M. Callahan
