If you come to Cardiff and need somewhere for your pets to stay; either if you come to visit Cardiff and the place you stay does not allow you to have animals stay with them or you're deciding to move to Cardiff and when you do, you'll perhaps need some where for your animals to stay? Then this is the place to go... It is a neat smaller Boarding Centre and it's quite a way out in Cardiff; situated in the area of Pontprennau, not far from the shopping supermarket known as Asda, St Mellon's Road, and Parkwall Road. The do allow; dogs, cats, and small pets such as; rabbits and caged pets. The building is a very neat little place, and it is very friendly place and they take great care of your pets, to perfect perfection... We take my cat there and he always comes back freshly washed and clean and he looks like he's been fully fed. The prices vary due to the size of your pet and then per day for really reasonable prices I'd say they're all nearly all under a £20. I recommend to all pet owners. If you want to email them contact them on: BoaringCentre@AOL.com read more

The family behind the Boarding Centre near leafy Lisvane have been in the pet business since 1928, so your animals are in experienced hands if they stay there. Located in a green area on the edge of the city, the centre has plenty of spacious paddocks for exercising the dogs that are boarding there, and those that are sociable get the chance to play with others. I prefer to leave my dog in home boarding elsewhere, because I don't think she's of a sturdy enough disposition to cope with the noise and stresses of kennels! But if you do leave your dog in kennels, this one at leat has good exercise paddocks and an emphasis on socialising the dogs when it's possible. For cats, the centre's indoor chalet accommodation (!) is positioned well away from the kennels so that the feline boarders aren't deafened by their barking neighbourings throughout their stay. Then for smaller pets such as rabbits, there are hutches also positioned well away from the kennels and they supply the food for you as part of the overall rate - although you can take along treats or specialised food for your pet as well. They can also cater for caged pets such as birds, rats, hamsters and chinchillas. read more

We recently used the Boarding Centre for our young Labrador. We needed boarding at short notice and the Boarding Centre can up trumps. It was ours and our dogs first experience of boarding. On arrival at the Boarding Centre I was very impressed at the layout, cleanliness and friendliness of the place. I wasn't, however, shown the kennel where my dog would be staying. On collection our dog greeted us looking bright eyed, slightly trimmer (which wasn't a bad thing!) tail wagging and happy. To us the price was reasonable, they require a deposit up front which seemed reasonable to us also. I found the staff that I met helpful and friendly and they appeared to have a caring attitude towards the dogs. I will definitely be using the Boarding Centre in the future. read more

We usually use a kennel in Bridgend but in a rushTook my dog there for one night. First time there, first impressions were good, friendly etc. Price was reasonable although dont quite understand the different prices for different dogs. They provide food which is handy. Collected my dog the following morning at 11am was quite dissapointed when they said he hadn't had his breakfast yet. He also was very thirsty. Considering they said they feed them twice a day and walk twice a day i question if this was actually the case. To too it off my dog. Ame back with kennel cough. Dont think ill use them again as the fact my dog wasnt fed raises some concern over how they are looked after. Ok for one night maybe but i wouldnt trust them with my dog for more than that read more

Please do not use this centre if you are wanting your chinchilla to be looked after for a week. At first glance I was pleased to leave my chinchilla with the staff at the boarding centre. It's a very friendly place and all the staff seemed happy, helpful and all the animals coming in and leaving seemed happy. However, after 7 nights I went to collect my chinchilla to find that the cage was in a big state. I doubt very much that they know how to look after them. Chinchillas make a lot of mess on a daily basis and as I instructed them, they need spot cleaning daily and all damp patches removed with fresh bedding to keep them happy. I also told them to clean him out completely at least once during his stay with fresh bedding etc. They're very clean animals and are very particular. I also told them to leave the dust bath in the cage for up to an hour a day because any more than that can result in skin problems and eye problems. When I picked him up, the bottom of the cage was covered in mess, the damp patches once removed showed that the cage had corroded with lack of cleaning, and the dust bath had been in there so long it also contained a lot of mess and had been used as a corner to pee in. Not something I'd want my chinchilla to bath in. Not happy at all. Will not be using them again. read more
