Donut Lips Small Pet Boarding

About our Guinea Pig Boarding

We are a fully insured boarding which is ran by myself (Nicole) and my partner (MJ) who have 5 guinea pigs of our own. I have had lots of different pets throughout my life including hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and for the past 13 years have owned guinea pigs.

Please see our Facebook for more information and photos and if you would like to book just fill out our booking form at the link below and we will be in contact to confirm a price

If you call and there is no answer please just send a message via text or WhatsApp and I will get back to you ASAP.

Accommodation:

Boarding is indoor in our spare bedroom. We have 6 4x2 c&c cages set up, all of which are suitable for up to 3 guinea pigs, or some can be extended for larger groups (we can accommodate any size of herd and always ensure the cages meet at least the minimum recommend c&c standards, just send us a message to check availability).

Exercise:

All pets will get their own individual free range time outside their enclosures to exercise. In warmer months they will have access to the garden and some lovely fresh grass in a fully covered run and under constant supervision.

Health & Hygiene:

Hopefully there will never be any issues but if your pet becomes unwell during their stay we will take them to our vet which is Ark Vets, in Coatbridge. If your pet has any vet supplied medication they are required to take we are happy to accommodate.

Reviews from Our Guests

Such an amazing service! Booked my 2 guinea girls into donut lips while i was on holiday, and couldn't have been more reassured while being away from them for the first time. Mj and Nicole kept me up to date daily with how my girls were doing, sent me photos and videos, and accommodated to their routine and their needs greatly. I could tell just how comfortable and happy my piggies were from the all of the updates i got. Their setup is amazing for boarding with proper sized C&C grid cages, lots of hay, hides, as well as floor time for some extra running and fun. Next time i go away i will definitely use donut lips service again!! (I also got 2 of the cute guinea pig beds which they handmake as well, which are amazing quality and extremely cute!)
