At Country Tails we provide a fully supervised, luxury home from home boarding and daycare service for your faithful friend. Contact: 0872176370 (Mary) or 0868456774 (Denise)

At country Tails Home Boarding we aim to provide your faithful friend with all the comforts of home in a stress free, kennel free environment. Whether it's for their annual holiday, a long weekend or just a day away, we have it all from socialised play to relaxing on the couch in front of the T.V and fire!

Owned and run by Mary and Denise Lafford, a mother and daughter team, we have many years combined experience in dealing with animals. Denise is a qualified Veterinary Nurse and is currently studying Canine Behaviour and Training. Mary has a degree in Zoology and is also qualified in the area of microbiology and infection control. We are also both qualified Canine First Responders.

Our ethos at Country Tails is to promote the safety, health and wellbeing of all our furry friends through closely supervised social interaction, stimulating and mind challenging games and above all lots of TLC!

All of our newcomers undergo a 1 day temperament assessment in order to ensure their suitability for a home boarding environment. All dogs coming to stay with us must hold a fully up to date vaccination certificate to include a Kennel Cough vaccine and must also be treated for parasites (fleas and worms) on a regular basis (at least every 3 months).
All dietary and medicinal needs are catered for but food and medication is supplied by the dogs' owner.

At Country Tails, puppies can enjoy the benefits of early socialisation with other dogs of similar age which is essential to the making of a well balanced and friendly dog in the future.

Our day visitors are treated to an action packed programme which combines socialisation with basic training and promotion of good behaviour achieved through the use of play and positive reinforcement reward based methods.

Our overnight friends can enjoy the same benefits as our day visitors as well as long country walks and relaxing in a calm environment at the end of a busy day. Our fully equipped indoor facility has all the comforts of home including T.V, couches, soft chairs and of course a cosy fire for the cold evenings.

Your dogs' health and happiness is of utmost importance to us and we do all in our power to provide this. Here's what some of our already satisfied customers have to say about us!

"Country Tails….. 5 star service
Since Sammy came into our lives, he is our pride and joy. A Bichon Frise with buckets of energy. I felt he was lonely at home.  I had heard of Doggy Day Care and Country Tails was suggested to me as a great place to help to socialise him. They do not keep them in Kennels but allow them to roam in their very secure environment with plenty of playtime and activities to keep them amused.
I have been taking  Sammy to Country Tails for the past 2 years. It was the best decision I ever made and we are loving the experience. They are treated as one of the family.
