Dog Daycare Nathalia Boarding Kennels & Cattery

Nathalia Boarding Kennels & Cattery offers two distinct daycare options: Doggy Day Out (‘DDO’) and BYO, which are explained below.
We use the same mix-n-match policy for all dogs on our premises, and you must be comfortable with our style. See more on our doggo info page.
Daycare services only operate during the Victorian school terms (NOT during school holidays nor Public Holidays).
To participate in daycare, dogs must be:
- Vaccinated
- 14+ weeks old and
- desexed if over nine months of age (both male and female)
- flea and wormed
Rules in our booking system will block dogs who do not fit our criteria.
DOGGY DAY OUT – DDO
Doggy Day Out (DDO) is for hounds from Shepparton, Echuca/Wyuna, Numurkah & Nathalia.
Boarding dogs are welcome to use our DDO van for transport to/from their holiday (however, we only collect pets in the mornings and drop them back in the afternoon).
We meet our eager DDOers at a central location in the morning, where they excitedly climb aboard the DDO van or trailer. They are driven to the kennels for a day of fun and frolicking and then re-loaded at the end of the day for the homeward-bound journey (same meeting place).
The operation of our DDO service is weather-dependent. If the weather is forecast to be too hot, wet, or snowy, we will contact customers to cancel.
TOWNS / TIMES / LOCATIONS
Our drivers usually arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier than the times shown below. If you run late or need to cancel, private phone numbers are provided with confirmation emails.
The afternoon drop time is 5.30 pm for Shepparton and Echuca. We will clarify the times for Wyuna and Numurkah when you book.

Prices for BYO are reasonable, and pre-purchased packages can help keep costs down further. Adults range from $25 to $29 per day, and puppies are $34 per day (pups can receive a 10% discount for five days in one booking). Prices are explained during the booking process.
