I thought we could get this going to help a few AFFers out!
Most of the AFF members I know personally travel for work, but every now and again we travel for pleasure and that generally means finding somewhere for the pets to live while we are away.
When my dog was still with us, I had a "special" kennel we would leave her where I knew she was being treated V well - even if I did pay a 75% premium! Now with her gone, it's the two cats I have to look after - well someone else looks after anyhow!
My basic principle of finding a kennel (and cattery) was to ask a couple of local vets for a recommendation. Our first when we lived in SE Melbourne was a little out of the way, but an absolute treat for the pooch who loved going there - homestead kennels
When we moved to the opposite side of Melbourne, the same principle applied, contact a heap of vets, get recommendations and take it from there. Our choice was to drive as far as Lara and use Elcho Park kennels. They also looked after my dog wonderfully!
With the cats, we have found a cattery very close to MEL - so on our way to fly, we drop in and deliver the moggies. I cant find a website for these guys, but if interested, PM me and I'll send you their phone number.
