melinda10786 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Are u in Brisbane? Try border river but I think they may be fully booked but worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy82 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) I was in the same situation a couple of years ago, I booked well in advance but then had to cancel 2 weeks before Christmas because it turned out their "bonus features" were actually things you'd pay a small fortune for and I wouldn't have it. I rang around to every boarding kennel I could find on google (no other way to know if they have available spots), and eventually found one out at Ipswich. It's a long drive from here, but it was the only one I could find, other than one that sounded really terrible where they would sit in the kennel all day every day and the guy said they wouldn't need toys because they would spend all day barking with all the stuff that would be going on around them. Anyway, the place I found is called Imparra pet motel. The staff was great, so friendly and welcoming. They upgraded the dogs to better kennels at no extra charge while they were there just because they had room (they have 3 different options), the dogs seemed really happy to see the staff member who went and got them when we went to pick them up, and their demeanour when we got them was great. They have a play area with a pool which you pay extra for, but they are let out onto a grassy area twice a day anyway, and I thought the price was very reasonable. I would definitely use them again, the only reason we haven't is because it's over an hours drive from us. http://www.imparra.com.au/index.html Edited October 29, 2012 by fuzzy82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeGee Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 A Durack Pet Motel. No website. Only place we would leave our dogs ever. White pages are your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This a very reliable boarding kennel. http://www.pawsandwhiskers.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESCS Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Aussie Pet Resort at Woodford was recommended to us. I have not used them ( too far for us) but they may have vacancy as they are not in Brisbane. We useSamford Pet Resort. They could be full but they have sister resorts elsewhere. If you call them, they can give you contact numbers. Hope you find a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeebie Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Other alternative is in home pet sitting some excellent dog sitters who will stay in your home and if you do not want this you can organise for them to come to your home daily or more often. Border river at Moyafield is a new kennel but owners specialise in BC this is their website -> http://www.borderriverpetresort.com.au/ You can also try the following as all near Gateway motor way on off to Airport North and South coast -> Ran'Dee Boarding kennels 251 Bracken Ridge Rd Bracken Ridge QLD 4017 Phone: (07) 3269 4370 Bayan Boarding kennels Norris road Bracken Ridge Phone:(07) 3261 1947 All Breeds Pet Motel 239 Norris Rd Bracken Ridge QLD 4017 Phone(07) 3261 1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
