Yes, we welcome assistance dogs. We request that your dog is clearly identifiable as a working dog. Please be aware that there may be a small delay to boarding to ensure that your dog is as comfortable as possible.
Assistance dogs help disabled people with day-to-day activities. They are trained to help people with, for example, hearing impairments, epilepsy, diabetes, mobility impairments and other conditions. They may be referred to as assistance dogs, service dogs or guide dogs.
We have not listed all the conditions for which an assistance dog may be used, as in practice there is no finite list and anyone with a disability may have an assistance dog if the animal helps remove disadvantages they face.
Assistance Dogs are trained to perform tasks such as fetching items, guiding their disabled partner, alerting others if their disabled partner is at risk etc.
