Holiday Ark

About our Small Pet Boarding

We are a family run pet care service offering top notch quality holiday boarding in tranquil surroundings for guests throughout Oxfordshire and beyond. We have many years experience caring and owning pets from hamsters to horses so you can be confident in the knowledge that your beloved pet will be treated with respect, love and care during their holiday stay. Here at the Ark our aim is to provide a personal as well as professional service with your pets welfare being most paramount as well as being accommodating as possible. For the well being of our guests and other pets we do ask owners to ensure their pets are up to date with the necessary vaccinations and a copy will need to be seen. For extra peace of mind we hold a First Aid Certificate for Small Pets Care and are police checked. Regardless of the weather guests will be handled and enjoy lots of human interaction on a daily basis.

Accommodation:

All accommodation is Rabbit Welfare Trust and Fund approved. We use luxury 5FT hutches (which are all visible from the house) with made to measure thermally lined waterproof and windproof covers ensuring guests will be cool and receive shade in the summer and warm in the winter. Heat pads are also available to keep our guests snug. All we ask is for clients to provide their own pet food as Holiday Ark supplies bottles, bowls, unlimited locally produced meadow hay, vegetables and herbs. Water is replenished daily.

Double glazed and well insulated indoor accommodation is available. Pets will still have access to large outside exercise runs during the day (weather permitting).

Exercise:

Spacious, well constructed non rust metal large outdoor runs with tunnels, toys and outdoor houses providing shade during the summer months as well as ensuring a boredom free stay. A bottle or bowl depending on which is your pet's normal routine will be attached to the exercise run whilst they are enjoying play. A safe good sized garden enables our large exercise runs to be moved ensuring guests are always grazing on fresh grass as well as having covers for exercise in the shade. Pets are able to freely display natural behaviour safely, such as hopping, jumping, running and foraging. Your pet will always be viewable from our home in the secure garden.

Health & Hygiene:

We use ample barley straw as well as dust extracted shavings for bedding. All accommodation is spot cleaned daily using a veterinary approved disinfectant and given a full clean regularly. Unlimited fresh hay is given on a daily basis. We can tailor our care to your pets needs and will be happy to use specific bedding (must be provided) or give vitamins (if provided) in their water to maintain your pets well being.
