Dog food

What your dog eats while staying with us — and the food we stock for you to take home.

Meals during boarding

All dogs are fed morning and night. Meals are home-cooked in our kitchenette: chicken mince, rice and vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower & broccoli), served with Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream biscuits.

If your dog is on a special diet, or you'd simply prefer they stick to their usual food, you're welcome to bring it along — we'll happily serve it instead.
