Firstly, we only take about 10-20 dogs, so no need to have random staff handling dogs. As a family run business it will generally be Leon and Anne who are working with the dog guests so we can cater to the dog’s personality.
Secondly the Kennels are a purpose built mud brick building in the paddock next to our home. Large pens that measure 2m x 10m with a comfortable indoor space with hammock beds plus an outside sand area under the shade trees. All encased with secure 1.8m chain fencing.
But the biggest difference – We also offer dogs the chance to go out into large fenced group paddocks where they have the chance to burn off their energy and play with like minded hounds. This provides your dog with a natural environment of dirt, grass, trees and even a bath tub to jump and splash should they wish. More a fun camp for dogs.

Feeding Program : We are advocates for raw feeding but realise this might not suit your dog. So generally the kennel guests are provided with a mix of : Commercial Dog Log mixed with Kibble and our own Home Made Veggie Stew. You are welcome to provide your own food – packaged into individual servings and labelled – however this does not change the pricing.

Raw Food Option : Added cost of $2.00 per dog per day
Raw Red Meat (varies between Beef, Venison, Kangaroo)
Lenny’s Kitchen – Complete Muesli by Dr Bruce Syme
Added mix – greek yoghurt, tin sardines, oil, whole egg
Home Made Veggie Stew (most of the veggies grown here at Alfoxton)
