Our approach

Care built around the dog, not a standard timetable

A stay should not require an unnecessary diet change. We prefer the dog’s familiar food and written instructions, with calm feeding arrangements and careful observation of appetite.

01

The dog’s familiar diet

Owners may provide the usual food and precise portions, helping avoid an unnecessary dietary change during the stay.

02

Familiar routines

Meals, medication, toilet breaks and sleep are organised around the information supplied in the dog’s profile.

03

Instructions followed carefully

Medication can be administered according to clear written directions; veterinary diagnosis remains with the owner and vet.

04

Clear communication

Instructions, requests, prices and updates remain together in the account, reducing uncertainty for everyone.

How it works

Clear arrangements from first contact to collection

Personalised dog feeding during day and overnight care, including own food, labelled portions, allergies and medication instructions.

  1. 1

    Record the normal diet

    Specify brand or recipe, portion, frequency and anything the dog must avoid.

  2. 2

    Provide labelled portions

    Bring clearly marked food where this is the agreed arrangement.

  3. 3

    Feed calmly

    Compatible routines and separate space are used when a dog needs quiet at mealtimes.

  4. 4

    Observe and report

    Changes in appetite or digestion are noted and communicated when relevant.

Frequently asked questions

Practical clarity before you decide

If your question is not answered here, email us before submitting a request.

Ask a question
Can my dog keep eating its usual food?

Yes. Familiar food and a normal schedule are generally preferred. Record portions, allergies and instructions clearly in the profile.

Can you accommodate allergies or a special diet?

Often yes, when instructions are complete and the arrangement is practically safe. Discuss complex or medical diets before booking.

Can you administer medication?

Medication can be given according to clear written instructions. We do not diagnose conditions or replace veterinary advice.

Should I bring my dog’s own food?

That is usually preferred. Clearly labelled portions reduce change and help us follow the familiar routine accurately.
