Qualified  Pet Services is New Zealand's first boarding kennel and cattery to receive the AgriQuality  Certificate from the NZ Government. This certificate recognizes our excellence in  animal welfare, husbandry and also the  high standard  of our boarding facilities for  both cats  and dogs.

 

 

DOMESTIC KENNELS

We  have  26  kennels  (20 single, and 6 double) to  cater for the larger dogs and big families.  Dogs are kept separate unless they are from the same family and the owner requests them to be together. All our kennels are indoors with attached runs all under cover. Our kennels and exercise yards have concrete flooring that enables staff to see if a dog has a problem with toilet functions(blood in urine, diarrhoea, and/or worms in the faeces). This has proven to be very helpful. All dogs go outside twice daily to individual large exercise yards that are partially covered to protect them from sun and rain. They can run around in their own large yard and sniff other dogs through the fence. This gives them all plenty of exercise without getting into any 'doggie disagreements'. Beds are provided, and you are encouraged to bring a small amount of bedding to give them a smell from home, along with some toys for their playtime. Please do not bring tennis balls or anything smaller due to the possibility of choking.
A diary is kept outside each kennel and is filled out twice daily, noting each dog's eating habits and toilet functions, as well as any medications given.

We cater for the care of elderly or timid pets, bitches in season, special diets and any medications required.
Throughout the day, music is playing in the kennels and staff check up on each dog to see that they have plenty of water and to give them a friendly pat!

We hope your dogs will 'jump with joy' when they stay in our SAFE and FRIENDLY kennels.

DOMESTIC CATTERY
Our cattery has 16 units and some units can house a family of three adult cats at one time. All units have clear perspex sheeting up high around the walls to let in good natural sunlight, as well as clear perspex sheets between each unit, enables them to see their friends next door, but prevents any 'feline fur flying fights' and helps to protect them from airborne viruses. The ventilation system allows fresh air in without causing a draught on the cats. Our units offer a safe environment for all the furry friends out there needing a 'happy holiday home' away from home.
Our cats use hooded litter trays which have built in freshness filters to control odours. This also provides privacy, because at Qualified Pet Services, we believe pussies are like tigers, they like to see, but do not mix well with other cats. We feel it is important they have their own private space, where they can feel secure in a happy holiday atmosphere. Our units are designed to give your cat(s) maximum protection against fighting for their food and territory. We searched for environmentally friendly kitty litter and found some made from recycled paper, which decomposes, so we are able to use it as fertilizer around the trees on our property.

Bedding is provided, and you are encouraged to bring a small item of clothing to have some smell from home, along with a few toys for playtime.
A diary is kept outside each unit and is filled out twice daily, noting each cat's eating habits and toilet functions, as well as any medications given.
We cater for the care of elderly or timid cats, special diets, and any medications required . Throughout the day, either the TV is on or the music is playing, and the fish are swimming, giving the cats visual stimulation and relaxation, and staff check to see that they have water and give them a friendly stroke!
We hope your cats will 'purr with pride' when they stay in our happy and safe holiday home.
