Our prices

Our biggest expense are the staff to walk, clean, play and feed your pets - the only way for us to reduce our prices is to reduce the quality of the care we provide and that is something we do not intend to do.

Our wages bill is our biggest single overhead making up over half our yearly costs. We try to keep our prices as low as possible but also maintain our standards of care & 5 star rating.

Farcroft currently have 9 members of staff all of whom have a pet qualifcation.

Please note: WE CHARGE DOUBLE ON ALL BANK HOLIDAYS

ALL prices quoted include VAT at 20%.

Payment for boarding includes day of arrival plus the day of departure, NOT the number of nights. UNUSED DAYS must be paid for as booked unless we are given 2 weeks notice of change. Any part of the day counts as a whole day. For example a Friday to Monday board would = 4 day stay.

If you have 1 dog you pay the single/1st dog price according to the size of your dog. If you have a 2nd/3rd/4th dog from same household sharing a kennel, you pay 1st,2nd and so on. Same for the cats
