At Good Companions all of our guests are cared for to their own individual needs.
Should one of our guests be a little shy or unsure than we structure our routine to assist them in settling down and being comfortable whilst with us.
For the guests who are steady in which nothing fazes them again we ensure we adapt to their requirements.
For example some of our guests just like to be stroked and cuddled whilst lying down with us in one of our pastures this is fine with us.
Our cat guests enjoy their daily brushing whilst watching the bird feeders or like to be held and have a cuddle. Some shy/nervous cats like to be left to themselves initially which we believe is ok because from experience we have found that after 24 hours they have adapted to their new environment and begin to come out and explore.
We do not believe in forcing ourselves onto a guest who is not too sure as this only adds to their anxiety. We let them find their own way and as long as they are eating well even if it means cooking up something special for e.g. fish poached in a fat free milk broth than so be it! Our cats have 3 x daily play sessions with us as well. Some of our cat guests leave being experts in "ANGRY BIRDS"!
We have secure exercise areas where our guests are off lead and able to play ball etc.
Since we only cater to a small number of guests we are able to offer 3 to 4 times a day play sessions.
What every dog loves is walks on our beautiful groomed trails. We have short and long trails. There is always plenty to see on our trails and lots of sniffing time. We try to match our walks to the health, age and size of your pet. If one of our guests is particularly energetic we can during the summer months take them on our Excursion Package and they can have a swim in the lake with a secure fitted life jacket always supervised.
Swimming is a great way to exercise your pet without causing any concussive force to joints and muscles. For the less energetic dogs we are able to offer them the wading pools where they can splash and play and cool off. Of course they get great delight in ensuring we are as wet as they are!
At the moment we do not offer this service. However we do board pets for 1 day only if there is availability.
Here at Good companions we do not discriminate against any pet with special needs or disabilities.
We would encourage you to contact us prior to making a reservation to discuss with us your pets needs.
We have experience with guests who may be epileptic and understand the importance of administering medication for this condition at the correct times. We also know with guests with epilepsy that they require a stress free and quiet place. We also have experience with pets who may be undertaking chemotherapy and require an experienced person to handle their needs and medications etc.
We are happy to administer insulin via injections/eye drops for our diabetic guests. Again we will work with you to ensure that the times your pet requires their insulin we are able to adapt our schedule to meet.
Convalescent guests under your Vets supervision we can provide a safe, quiet environment for recuperative post injury or post operative guests.
We are also able to continue any Passive Range of Motion Exercises for example as we are qualified in Physical Rehabilitation for Companion Pets.
We have walking harnesses especially to assist guests who may have a difficult time getting up initially or require extra support for stability whilst out for a walk.

We do provide all of our guests with Homemade Biscuits at bedtime just before lights out of course with the owners permission.
Please let us know at the time of your reservation whether your pet has any food allergies so we can avoid any upsets.
We can adapt our biscuits for example to gluten free if necessary.
During the summer months we have an "Excursion Package" for our dog guests.
Please speak to us for details.

OscarHe is another rescue from the same kill shelter that Ranger was at in the USA. He was seized as he was abused by his owner. He had to have quite a lot of Veterinary treatment before being put up for adoption. He is comical and needy. |

The Absolute Best Place For Your Fur BabyI am sorry this testimonial has come so late. I thought I had posted already! Last year, Uncle John and Aunt Sally kept our little guy, Bullitt, for a week while we went Christmas shopping in New Hampshire. Bullitt is 10 years old and is a diabetic. He has to have two needles a day and drops in his eyes to keep them healthy (He had catarat surgery on one eye to restore his sight, but his other eye had issues. As a result, he did lose 20 percent of his vision, but you cannot tell. There is still a catarat on his other eye.) He was so happy at Good Companions. Of course, we called twice a day because we missed him so much. John and Sally did not mind at all and kept us well updated. They are incredible people. They are a Godsend for your pets, Angels right here on Earth. We are going away again this year and have booked Bullitt his reservation. I have no worries about leaving him. He will have the very best of care and he is looking forward to spending a few days with his beloved Uncle and Aunt. Thank you John and Sally for being our surrogate parents when we go away and cannot take Bullitt with us. See you soon! Love from Pauline, David and, of course, Bullitt. |

FantasticLeaving Gunner, a 3 year old Victorian Bulldog, with John & Sally Weston at Good Companions was the only way I would go on a vacation for a week without him!! Gunner felt right at home as soon as we took him there to visit the kennel, and Sally massaged his backside which he loves! I felt very comfortable with the surroundings and the fact that I could see him occasionally on facebook and hear how he was doing!! John & Sally are very experienced in their field . I would recommend them and their kennel to anyone leaving a pet while away on vacation!! |
