New dogs to Muddy Paws

Muddy Paws caters for dogs of all ages and most breeds. However, for everyone's safety we have a process for new dogs.

There are certain requirements before a dog can be accepted for boarding. Your dog must be completely social and non-aggressive around all dogs and all people under all circumstances. Male dogs must be neutered if older than 6 months. Your dog must not be an excessive barker (this upsets our neighbours and the other dogs). It is our policy that all new dogs must complete at least one overnight stay on a Wednesday evening before a booking can be placed (trials will not be accepted over peak periods- school/ public holidays).

Unsuccessful trial stays

If your dog isn’t a good fit this time - it doesn’t mean they can’t come stay in the future. We offer advice to help with improvement.
