As you all know we are a social facility that does not offer solo care, only mixed care and we pride ourselves on offering a service that not only clients can trust but that the dogs love too. We appreciate that some of our terms and policies listed below may seem harsh or extreme, but we must ensure that all the dogs (and our staff) we care for are safe, happy and enjoy their time with us.

Sometimes our system may appear to have space, but we may not be able to accept your booking. This may be for a variety of reasons. Examples: wrong size kennel for your dog/dogs. Staff to dog ratio. Late booking. Dog not fitting in with the group of dogs already booked in.

Any booking requests made after 8.00pm the night before or the morning of will be charged a £10 late booking fee if we accept the booking. We require time to ensure we are appropriately staffed, and late booking may not be accepted due to the staff to dog ratio/staff scheduled the next day.

Dogs that have minor illnesses or injury while with us will be treated by us accordingly and owner informed at pick up.
If the dog needs more extensive care or for dogs that aren’t feeling better in a timeframe we are happy with, the owner will be consulted, and a course of action will be planned together. If owners are not contactable in an emergency or when we would like to consult with them about a plan for sickness/injury we will try the owners emergency contact. If they are not reachable either we reserve the right to seek veterinary assistance on their behalf.
In the event of a true emergency, we will act appropriately, this may mean we seek Veterinary help before consulting owners. In this case we will proceed with treatment advised by the vet.

Extra care, we will give dogs a brush and wash off as and when required but any dog requiring more than just standard care e.g full head to toe intensive brush or teeth cleaning will be charged per time and invoiced at the end of their stay in peak times.

Pick up and collection time with a large group is our most hazardous time of the day. Dogs can sometimes get overly excited or protective and it can be dangerous.
Please follow our instructions at the Gate, as a rule of thumb please leave your dogs in the car and do not bring them up to the gate/fence before one of us collects them or we signal it’s okay to let them run in.
Please DO NOT peer into/over the fence, talk to the other dogs or hang around the fence.
Please remain on the gravel while we unclip their lead and only come up to the door to collect it from us. If you need to press the doorbell. Please press it and step immediately back.

Arrive promptly for your booked in appointment time if you are early or late please wait to be seen as we may be dealing with others who are on time or we may not have your dog’s stuff ready yet. We give a grace period of 15 minutes either side of a booked time. If you are going to be out of that time, please let us know. A late payment fee may apply.

All booking’s must be made online with Revelation pets. The link can be found using the ‘Book Now’ function on both Facebook and our Website.

Final payment must be made just before you drop off via the link in your emails, or upon arrival Via card machine. This includes DayCare, not just Boarding.

Please do not leave us bowls or leads as they get mixed up easily.

Please label your dog’s items to avoid confusion. We strongly suggest you do not bring too much stuff as it is easy to get mixed up or missed at pick up and we cannot be held responsible for lost, broken, or forgotten items. We have plenty of beds and blankets and we find it easier to provide our own because we can wash them as and when needed without confusion but we can accept client beds if preferred.
