Heathrow Kennels and Cattery

The Heathrow kennels and cattery is located roughly midway between Windsor and Heathrow, close to the village of Horton. Heathrow kennels are manned 24 hours a day, with at least one member of staff on site at all times. The main gate is kept locked and the whole site is surrounded by high fencing. The kennels consist of an indoor sleeping area plus an outside covered run, with a hatch linking the two. Dogs have their own private bedroom during their stay with us and we do not mix dogs from different households, although they will be able to see the other dogs. Dogs are provided with baskets and bedding as part of the service, but owners are more than welcome to bring favourite blankets and/or pillows from home if preferred. Dogs are provided with a mixture of suitable toys and bones while in their kennels, and you are more than welcome to bring your dog’s favourite ball or tug toy from home if you wish. Each kennel is large enough to comfortably house two big dogs, and there are also additional exercise areas on site. The main building is fully heated and ventilated throughout, with a high ceiling and thick walls to keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer. We feed the dogs twice a day, unless a dog has specific requirements and in this case these are met. We provide a wide range of foods in with the cost of boarding, but if your dog is on a specialist diet, e.g. Science Plan, we will need you to bring this with you.

In addition to the covered runs attached to each kennel, we have four on-site exercise yards. We try to get the dogs out for at least 30 minutes to an hour each day, depending on the weather and how many dogs we have in. Each yard contains a selection of toys, from tennis balls to car tyres. We do not mix dogs in the exercise yards, although two of the yards are separated by a mesh fence so friendly dogs get to chase each other up and down without being able to jump on each other.
