Introduction
Quiet Acres K9 Hydrotherapy, Cattery & Boarding Kennels has 30 Kennels
Quiet Acres is set in an idyllic rural Suffolk setting just 1 minute from the A140 halfway between Norwich and Ipswich, just outside Diss (see map). Quiet Acres is a small, friendly, family business run by Phil, Tracey and Paula. We purchased Quiet Acres in December 2005 after a long search to find a kennels and cattery business. The decision to buy a kennels and cattery business came from a genuine love for animals and a desire to do a job we all enjoyed. As pet owners we understand what an anxious time it can be to have to leave your cat or dog in the trust of a stranger. For this reason you are very welcome to look around the premises before you decide to leave your four legged member of the family at Quiet Acres. We have an open door policy (10:00am-12:00noon and 14:00 - 16:00 Mon-Sat) and as such do not ask you to make an appointment as we feel it is important for you to get a TRUE feeling of how we and our staff work and care for all the animals. We are very lucky to have found a great member of staff in Kim, she joined us in early 2008 and shares our love and enthusiasm for animals. We have already made major improvements at Quiet Acres, including the installation of a purpose built hydrotherapy centre for dogs. Quiet Acres is fully insured with Pet Plan, licensed by Mid Suffolk Council and a member of the Pet Care Trust.

About our Kennels
Our kennels are of block built constructions which are double insulated. This helps to keep them cool during summer and with the help of heating warm during the colder times. All the kennels have cozy sleeping areas and attached covered outside runs. The dogs like to have a play or just sit and watch the local wildlife.

Dog Exercise Play:
Dogs get out of their Kennels for exercise: 
We're proud to say dogs DO get out of their kennels here.
We know how important it is (mentally and physically) for dogs to play, sniff, run around and stretch their legs - in other words, for dogs to be dogs!
About dog exercise with our Boarding Kennels:
Here at Quiet Acres we have four large exercise areas for the dogs to romp around with their favourite toy and also a large grasses wooded area for lead walking. The dogs are able to wonder around and sniff out the local wildlife. We realise that all dogs are individual therefore we try to assess what kinds and frequency of exercise each dog will benefit from. A younger dog may benefit from several mad play sessions in the off lead area where as a older or quieter dog would prefer a wonder around our wooded area. We do try to keep things interesting so most will get a combination of off lead exercise and lead walking. We also have many footpaths through the surrounding lane so can therefore offer longer walks outside the premises for those who are happy for us to do so.

Dog Walks/Exercise/Playtime with Staff:
Dogs exercised with staff: 
45 minutes of walks/exercise with staff provided daily
We're proud to say we offer walks/ exercise/ playtime WITH staff.
We know how important it is for dogs to have our company one-to-one. It's much more fun!
About dog walks/playtime with staff with our Kennels:
During our exercise session we try to give the animals as much hands on time as we can. We happily throw balls and play with toys and also offer comfort in the way of strokes , cuddles and chats.

Dog Welfare & Settling In:
Comfort items from home allowed: 
We're proud to say we DO allow and encourage comfort items for your dog.
We understand how important it is to help your dog relax and feel settled quickly, more at home with us. This is such an easy way to comfort your dog - we all love our home comforts don't we?!
Our policy on comfort items:
We are happy for your dogs to bring along anything with them to make them feel more at home. Toys, beds and treats are always welcomed.

Care of Easy-going & Steady Dogs
We realise that all dogs are individuals and that some dogs may need to have a quieter less energetic stay than others. Some may need to be kept quieter and closer for medical reasons. For this purpose we have a separate kennel block . The kennel block is facing a grassed area so has easy access for those dogs that don’t want to or cant go too far. It is set slightly away for the other two block and only has kennels on one side so is defiantly quieter which is ideal for the more timid or elderly dog.
Care of Active Dogs
We realize that all dogs are different and that some may need more exercise or attention than others. For the more energetic or outgoing dogs we have four large exercise areas. They are fully fenced and ideal for off lead games. This allows the dogs to charge around after their favorite ball or toy. They can also make great use of our wooded grassed area which allows the dogs to sniff out the local wildlife. Surrounding the kennels are plenty of country lanes ideal for longer walks to burn off some of that extra energy and give them something else to think about. There is also the chance for any boarder to have exclusive use of our hydrotherapy pool, this is ideal for burning off some of that extra energy.
Care of Daycare/creche Dogs
Our Daycrèche facility if available to anyone who needs their dog to stay for a day or over night. You can drop of anytime on one day and either collect again that day or the following morning before 10.30. Your dog will be treated and offered exactly the same as any other boarder

We have new facilities to offer a shower , shampoo and condition or maybe you would like to include a pamper session for your dog which also includes a session in the spa or take it one step further and have them take a dip in our new pool too.

About our care of special needs dogs:
We cater for dogs who need special needs or medication.
