Boarding Kennels Cattery Melbourne Vic - Barkingham Palace Pet Boarding

Something to Bark About

Barkingham Palace is ‘Doggie Heaven’ for those who like company or off lead parks

Money will buy you a fine dog, but only good company will make his tail wag

At Barkingham Palace instead of a cage everyone chooses their company

EVERYONE IS FREE TO REST OR PLAY ALL DAY EVERY DAY

AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

Dogs and cats into fun and games enjoy new best friends – exhilarating and exhausting!
Laid back cats and dogs enjoy solitude, quieter company or just being a spectator

That’s why you can be confident your Best Mate will come home happy, healthy and tired.

Here no one needs extra exercise or interaction with people.
The dogs are all over me for a minute or two tops, then off doing ‘doggie things.

Even though our recently renovated ‘Country Estate for Dogs and Cats’ breaks with tradition and is a complete shift away from the typical “lock-up kennels and catteries" found in Victoria

‘Cagelessness’ is totally natural to cats and dogs

Our hugely spacious, totally secure ‘Cats Wonderland’ works so well because Cats Are All About Choice.They love it 24/7

Dogs especially when in new ‘territory and company’ being ‘pack animals’ feel safest and behave their best when with a ‘natural’ leader they look to please and follow.

Happy dogs don’t bark

If during your visit you pause and to listen to the wild birds calling across the valley or more special still you take a moment under our ancient branches it is likely the only other sound you’ll hear is ‘seeds cracking’ as the native birds above you feed. The husks floating down through the distilled sunlight will leave you with an indelible feeling and an amazing memory.
That and the sound of ‘no dogs barking’ is a sure sign Barkingham Palace is “A Happy Place for Happy People and Happy Animals”.
For me it’s a potent reminder to return to that place, in my mind, if for only an instant especially when I’m convinced something else is more important.
