    Default Dog kennels Wellington area

    Does anyone know of a boarding kennel in the Wellington area which they would recommend?
    We are planning on going away after Christmas and would like to put our dogs in kennels for that time.

    Many thanks in advance.

    This is without exception the best kennel I've ever found, bit of a drive but worth it.

    I use a great one Between plimmerton and Pukerua Bay. It is on the back road at Whenua Tapu.

    No frills but they really do care about the dogs. Lyndsey and Craig are EX SPCA handler and vet nurse.

    Hello,
    Thank you so much everyone for the recommendations!
    I called a couple of places today and there were no problems getting the dogs booked in at all.
    Now I just have to book the ferry...

    This is a very useful thread that I've bookmarked. When our pup eventually joins us this is something we'll definitely be needing, so thanks!

    Just a quick recommendation: if anyone is needing dog kennels in the Wellington area we have used Abbey Manor near Lower Hutt recently. It is not as far as it seems from the city and very convenient if you are going on the ferry.

    Very knowledgeable staff, large fenced-off pens for dogs to run around in and socialise with other dogs, high quality food.
