Do you have a puppy or a young dog? Would you love to provide him/her with some crucial social and mental stimulation and development? Our first 4-week Puppy Playdate program is about to launch! And it will be a fab way to assist your pup in gaining invaluable social and playmaking skills with dogs of a similar size and age to their own. Pups will be grouped together for an entire day of fun where they can dig, swim, run, chase, chew and have an all-round great time. ————————- We have seen a steady influx of new pet-parents with puppies due to 2020 Covid! This is because many people have taken the opportunity that the lock-down provided, to add a new and furry member to their family. We know that pups provide unconditional love and boundless entertainment - easing the stress during uncertain times. However, the downside is that during the past 9 months, many puppy schools, dog parks & training classes were put on hold. This means that many pups missed out on the ability to socialise with others their own age – and that is where we step in.... _______________ From Monday 8th of February, we will be offering our ‘Puppy Play-date’ program. It will run for 4 weeks Monday-Thursday. You can choose one or more days, any day, any week (obviously the more you can do the better). There are two ways to get to us, either drop your pup off yourself ($15) or send them along on one of our Doggy Day Out programs (@$37). Full grooming sessions are available Monday through Wednesday with Chelsea and Puppy’s 1st Training Sessions will be available on Wednesdays & Thursdays with Heather. FYI: Your pooch needs to be at least 16 weeks old to attend and have had at least two rounds of vaccinations, including the Canine Cough vaccine. If you know someone who has a pup aged between 16 weeks to 18months, please tag them below. We can't wait to see you all there, NBKC xx

Happy New Year Nathalia Boarding Kennels and Cattery would like to wish our customers a happy and prosperous New Year. 2020 has been unprecedented, unpredictable and uncertain. The roller coaster of emotions we all experienced has been exhausting. To say we have had a tumultuous year is an understatement, however, we have learned to evolve, adapt and roll with the punches. We are incredibly fortunate to have team members who banded together to become an amazing support network for us. We are appreciative for the messages of support and encouragement we received - so many people checked in to make sure we were going to pull through and that they need us to be there when all of this is over. These messages kept us going when we only had a handful of boarding dogs stay with us for the better part of 6 months. The last few weeks have been rewardingly exhausting - we were at capacity for the first time since last Christmas. We have put in lengthy hours over the past 10 days, looking after our furry guests, but we couldn’t be anything but happy. Lastly, I’d like to say a huge thank you to my parents for holding everything together at the kennels this year; all with a smile. They are truly one in a million and I am grateful they chose to come on this journey with me. Xx Vanessa NBKC

Day #10 - NBKC Giveaways ONE SOOTHING CARE PACK We have a snuffle mat (a home-made rug to hide treats in), and an anti-anxiety dog bed from Pupnaps. It’s a medium size, but we all know how big dogs like to squeeze into small beds! Caitrin (local lass) made the snuffle mat - so thanks Caitrin - you are a gem. To enter, all you have to do is show us a picture of your pet’s most chilled position - sleeping, resting, snoring... (we know how weird they can get!!) On Instagram you will need to post the photo to your story and tag us in it!! 🥰 Congratulations to Day #9 Winners - Bag of Royal Canin 1. Rachael H - Juno 2. Melanie S - Freddie We totally agree that round #9 was the most INTERESTING to date! The things we pet-parents have to deal with! Winners of Day #10 will be announced in 2 days time.

Day #9 - NBKC Giveaways BAGS OF ROYAL CANIN We choose to dish-up premium Royal Canin kibble to our guests and have done so for many years now. We love that our guests thrive on this tasty kibble, and we know it sustains them, providing the nutrients and sustenance to ‘stay on task’ during their Canine Bootcamp (or equivalent activity level - depending on age, breed and health condition). With a variety of breed or need specific products to choose from, we can cater to all who stay with us. You have a chance to win a bag of RC for your pet in this giveaway! (Two bags are up for grabs, or smaller, breed specific kibble can be ordered for you early in 2021 if you prefer). To enter, all you have to do is tell us - does your pet have a weird taste fetish - if so, what is it? Or, what is the strangest thing that you have had to retrieve from their mouth (before it disappeared into their digestive tract)? Canines and Felines alike my enter!

We will spin the wheel once for dog entries, and once for cat entries. Congratulations to Day #7 Winners - LITTLE GIFTS FOR CANINES 1. Hayley K & Freya - lead, poop bag & large bandanna 2. Teagan H & Santa - bow tie and medium bandanna (We do apologise, but Vanessa and I attended a mini ‘wake’ for one of our beloved regular canine boarders tonight, so we are a little sad and definitely behind schedule.) Winners of Day #8 will be announced in 2 days time.

Day #7 - NBKC Giveaways LITTLE GIFTS FOR CANINES.... We have some super cute pet accessories from Pablo & Co to give away. Because we know that some of you like to make your dog look hawt!

Hugh, Charlie & Maverick ❤️

Barney & Raffy Would you believe that these two cuties were a lovely golden colour when they arrived this morning? 🙈😂 They have clearly been having far too much fun! #someoneneedsabath #bathtime

Friday’s are for marking new friends... and sharing a water tub 😂

Yesterday we received a beautifully thoughtful gift from our staff member Chelsea, a wonderful portrait of our dear Boy. It is a digital portrait by @paintmypoochau that we will frame and hang in our office. It's hard to believe it has already been three weeks without him. 💔
