Relating to boarding animals

Owners: Heather and Tay Whitmee

Upon boarding your pet with us you acknowledge that you have read and agree with the terms and conditions laid out hereafter.

All animals must be vaccinated from the appropriate diseases according to their species. Dogs’ full cover must include Canine Cough. Cats require full feline cover. Proof of vaccination status must be presented or we cannot board your pet. Any booster shots required must be done at least 10 days prior to check in day or we cannot accept them for boarding to protect the health of all of our guests, as well as your pet.

Abbeyblyth agrees to exercise due and reasonable care at all times and to keep our premises sanitary and properly enclosed. Your pet will be fed twice a day, have access to fresh water at all times and be housed in safe, secure, clean quarters. Dogs will be exercised as much as possible, weather dependent.

There will be a caretaker on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We will take every reasonable care of all animals but will not accept responsibility for any illness contracted, pregnancy, accident, injury or death occurring while in our care. All animals are left at the owner’s risk.

If veterinary attention is required for any accident or illness while in our care, owners are liable for all expenses including a fee to transport them to the vet. In the event of serious illness and you or your agent cannot be contacted, the vet’s decision will be final.

We will do our best to ensure your pet is seen by your nominated vet, as long as it is within 25km of our premises and within their normal opening hours, otherwise we will use Victory Square Vets, Halifax Veterinary Centre or Stoke Veterinary Clinic.

If your pet has external or internal parasites, treatment will be given and the cost added to the invoice.

The first day of booking is charged at the full day rate regardless of check in time. Pets collected before 11am on check out day are not charged for departure day. If collection is after 11am, a full day is charged.

Accepted methods of payment are Eftpos , MasterCard, VISA or Cash. Internet Banking is available by prior arrangement only. We must be notified at time of booking any dog that is classified as Menacing or Dangerous . Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your booking.

We reserve the right to remove or refuse any excessively barking or nuisance dogs. Under the Dog Control Act local authorities have the right to impound any nuisance dog in our care.

Animals remaining at Abbeyblyth after 14 days of the nominated collection date without prior approval from us will be removed at our discretion. All monies owing including costs incurred to collect fees, are payable by you the owner or your agent within 7 days of receiving our invoice. If these costs are not paid, legal proceedings will commence without further notice.

We reserve the right to add all collection costs to money outstanding.
