Your dog(s) needs to be vaccinated against the following before attending Rose Cottage and up to date with their yearly boosters.

  • Kennel Cough (KC)
  • Distemper, Hepatitis (Canine Adenovirus) and Canine Parvovirus (DHP)
  • Leptospirosis (Lepto)

A copy of your dog’s vaccination card is needed for our records. Please email a clear, readable image of any vaccination card(s). If any updates have been made to your dog(s) vaccination card(s), we will require an updated image of any changes to be emailed to info@rosecottagedoggydaycare.co.uk as a clear attachment. If you are sending the photo from a mobile phone such as an iPhone, please could you send the full-size photo of the card (shown as “Actual Size”) so the quality of the photo is not reduced.

Bordetella Bronchiseptica, also known as ‘kennel cough’ is basically the common cold to dogs, and despite its name can be contracted wherever your dog comes into contact with other dogs – so as well as in kennels it can be caught at the vets, in the park etc. The vaccine for kennel cough is administered by your vet in the form of a nasal spray, and will last 12 months. While the vaccine will not prevent all types of coughs/flu ( just like the flu-jab for humans) it will protect your dog from the main strains. If your dog shows any signs of kennel cough we ask you to not board them or use our other services as it is highly infectious, any dogs sent will be isolated and asked to leave site in order to prevent the disease spreading. Please ask for more information should you require it.
Yes if you wish we do have larger rooms available please ask for more details on booking.
No, we do not charge extra for our larger friends every dog regardless of size gets all the love and affection it needs at RC.
Not at RC we can assure you all our dogs are out playing and socialising all day they only return to their kennels when its bed time after a fun and tiring day.
We walk every dog daily on our grounds in a secure open space however you can also have piece of mind knowing the dogs get the use of our agility paddock, chill out lounge, TV room and orchard daily keeping their mind occupied and physical needs met all on site!
Here at RC we take time to get to know your dog and we introduce them slowly to small packs so they can enjoy a group walk and the younger dogs can learn from their peers we don’t believe any dog should be on their own unless of course this is what is best for your dog and what you advise.

Due to the nature of how we operate our business we must be selective with the breeds of dogs we take for Day Care and Boarding at our centre. Unfortunately, because of this we are unable to take the following breeds of dogs, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Dobermann, Mastiff, Bull Breeds, Rottweiler, Akita, Shar Pei. It is at Rose Cottage discretion what breeds of dogs we take, that we feel suit our environment, and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you however please be aware we want what’s best for each and every dog and sometimes Rose Cottage doesn’t suit every dog. We do not just take your money we advise you if we feel we cannot help. We require every new dog to do a trail day care or boarding stay and then you will receive a full report within 48 hours of how we feel your dog has settled. Please do not be disappointed if we refuse your dog entry to Rose Cottage, rest assured we have the dog’s best interests at heart, we will of course always try to recommend another option for you and your dog.
