Our 20 GRP (glass reinforced plastic) kennels and runs are housed internally within a fully insulated building.

We wanted to eliminate cold and draughty outdoor runs in order to create a warm environment closer to what the majority of dogs are used to at home.

Each kennel and run has been manufactured to exceed the guideline size requirements for licensing.

The kennels have been purposely designed to face away from each other so no dog will ever see or come into contact with another dog.

This is paramount in preventing stress.
Exercise is a key factor in preventing boredom and stress and at Highwood Kennels dogs can look forward to at least three off leash play sessions daily in our two acre fenced paddock with his or her own dedicated carer.

On rainy days or for dogs that don't like the cold we have kitted out a 20 x 60ft indoor play arena so come rain or shine your dog is guaranteed off leash exercise.

You will not see a tile or painted concrete floor in sight in our facility as we have invested in state of the art Altro antibacterial vinyl flooring which is soft, warm and hygienic.

Our contemporary grooming studio incorporates a 5 metre dog wash and our in-house dog groomer offers a full clipping and grooming service.

A wash and brush up service is also available for both our boarders and non-boarding clients.

Our dog wash is also available to book in hourly slots for dog owners wishing to bath their own animals.

We understand how stressful it can be leaving your dog in the care of someone else.

We aim to eliminate this by ensuring dogs boarding with us have a positive experience in a safe, clean and comfortable environment making his stay as pleasant as possible.

This ensures that you can go away feeling relaxed, knowing that your dog is receiving the care, love and attention he would receive in his own home.
