Not used boarding since the 70's but here is a link to a place I have recommended to a couple who loved it.

Bit different from the usual

what prices do you pay for boarding?

dog size and price per night: $15 NZ per night

cat price per night: no idea

what optional extras does you kennels offer: Grooming, not sure what else

what do you look for when searching for the right boarding kennel for your pet?

That they will be able to handle my dog (she's high drive working line, some people get freaked out by her if they're just used to "pet" dogs).

That they will follow my instructions regarding how she is to be handled.

That the place looks clean & tidy, and that the dogs there look happy.

what prices do you pay for boarding? - My dogs have never been boarded but I would be prepared to pay up to $50 per day for both of them so long as they were getting attention/love/hugs

dog size and price per night: Pugs 6.5 - 9 kg

cat price per night: NA

what optional extras does you kennels offer: NA

what do you look for when searching for the right boarding kennel for your pet? The reason my dogs have never been boarded is location. I refuse to board them in a bushfire risk area. It needs to be more metro for me to be comfortable boarding them

mine rarely board the dogs going to a friend's place and getting someone in to feed the cats.

But when they do I used www.tamworthboardingkennels.com.au

I highly recommend them, mine love going there, they pull me over to get in! but they are happy to come home.

for three dogs - one in his own kennel run at night, the other two sharing and they all sharing the large grassy run during the day and the three cats in one suite it is $50.00 per day.
