Prices​ - Milnthorpe Kennels ​and Cattery

Our prices include two walks a day, food from our extensive standard range, administering mediation, VAT, insurance and professional support and care for your pet during their stay. 

We charge for the day your pet arrives, but if your pet goes home within the morning slot of 8:30-11am we do not charge for that day. See our opening times for more on when you can come and see us. 

Why not ask about our loyalty scheme? When your card is complete (after 20days stay), this entitles you to a free night's stay. For a pair of dogs sharing on full board this could be worth £35!

Peak season is Good Friday to the following Friday, July 20th to 4th September, 15th December to 5th January.

​Prices listed here are with effect from 1st Jan 2024
Bookings that were booked before the publication of these prices, will be honoured at the old prices, if no further changes to the bookings are made. 

Why have the prices gone up ? 
We have tried to delay the impact of price rises as long as possible to minimise the effect on our customers, but with our new electricity contract coming into force on the 1st January, we have had to make some changes. The major costs for our business are; Electricity, Employment costs, Interest rates and materials such as dog food. Electricity will be 154% of last year, our employment costs are estimated to be going up by 16%, Many dog food brands have gone up by 36%. We have worked hard to find ways to reduce this impact, particularly embracing greener options, but ultimately our costs have risen significantly above inflation, so we have had to pass some of this on.
