Dog Accommodation

Our boarding kennels and home boarding have both been awarded 5 stars by the Vale of White Horse Council.
We have been caring for dogs for over 40 years here at Charney.
The accommodation is kept immaculately clean and dry for maximum comfort. Every dog has their own comfortable raised bed with fleece bedding to keep them warm, dry and cosy. Dogs are exercised twice daily come rain or shine in our fully enclosed grass exercise paddocks. 
We would be very happy to show you around and answer any questions you may have. You can book a viewing appointment by phone or email. Please note that viewing appointments are for humans only.
 

Feeding
We strongly encourage you to bring your dogs own food whether it be kibble, raw or fresh food. This ensures they remain settled on their normal familiar diet. Please ensure you bring enough food for the entire stay, and a little extra in case you are delayed and they need to stay with us for an extra day or two.

We keep in stock Wainwrights Complete Adult kibble (salmon or lamb) and a range of wet foods for which there is an additional charge of £1.80 per day per dog should you wish us to provide their meals whilst they stay or your own food runs out.

Elderly and Anxious Home Boarding

Our 5-star licensed home boarding is designed especially for smaller dogs who need a little extra care and provides a calm, safe and nurturing environment tailored exclusively for small breed elderly and anxious dogs.  Here your dog is cared for by our experienced team where their comfort, routine and wellbeing come first.   

We understand that older dogs and those with sensitive temperaments need more than standard care. That’s why we offer gentle handling, consistent routines, and plenty of one-to-one attention throughout the day. Whether your dog requires medication, a special diet, extra reassurance, or simply a peaceful space to relax, every detail is thoughtfully considered.

Our home boarding area is carefully set up with cosy resting areas and secure surroundings. We keep numbers small so each dog receives the time, patience, and affection they deserve.

Our home boarding is available to small breed elderly and anxious dogs only.  New dogs must first be evaluated with a one night trial stay to ensure they are suitable and that they settle well before booking any longer stays.
