Pet Quarantine FAQ's

Will I be allowed to visit my pet?

Yes, we encourage regular visiting. We also understand that it may
be difficult for some people to arrange transport when they have
recently arrived in this country or live in London. We therefore
provide a minibus courtesy service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays
from Terminal 4 passenger terminal, (last stop Piccadilly line underground
station). Details may be found on the quarantine page.
Will my family be able to touch our pet and
play with him?

Yes. You will be able to spend time with your pet, inside the kennel
or in the run.
I am worried that my pet will not be able to
recognise us when he is released.

In our long experience of dealing with quarantined animals we find
that this is not so. However they may become very attached to their
own personal kennel maid!
What happens if my pet falls ill whilst in quarantine?

Our vet visits daily and refers to a diary where kennel maids record
any problems they think need investigating. It is an excellent large
veterinary practice, with a team of experts on hand should the need
arise. On the rare occasion when a problem is serious, we gain permission
from the Ministry of Agriculture and transfer animals to the veterinary
surgery, just 10 minutes away. Our kennel maids are well trained
to notice signs and symptoms of sick animals - some of our staff
have been with us for over 10 years. You would be informed of any
problem that may give cause for concern and be able to speak to
the vet directly. All animals are inspected by our vet upon arrival
in the kennels.
Are the vets fees expensive?

Apart from the veterinary examination upon arrival, the rabies vaccination
(and in the case of cats, feline enteritis / cat flu vaccinations),
which are included in our basic pricing structure - all non pre-existing
conditions are covered by our insurance for up to £600.
What type of diet will my cat / dog be on?

We take pride in the type of food we offer all our cats and dogs.
Top quality brands are always available in both complete and canned
products. We also monitor the weight of each animal after weighing
on arrival. Many owners are delighted to find a fit and healthy
pet after the 6 month quarantine, along with a perfect waistline!
Special veterinary diets are also catered for at an additional charge.
