Having worked with Kay & David for over 2 years on our vision for the future of our boarding kennels ~ she was "thrilled to be able to show Westlodge Kennels and Cattery's full potential to caring pet owners"

This book is sponsored by Dogs Trust, and is written to help future kennel and cattery owners build the best standard of accommodation, and learn about animal welfare. The author's books are used in animal welfare and kennel and cattery management courses in colleges and universities around the world.

We were chosen for the book because of our deep commitment to improving our kennels and cattery standards, our stunning location including our beautiful mature landscaped gardens, and to be an inspiration to other existing kennels and cattery operations who are looking to reach higher standards of accommodation and care.

We encourage everyone thinking about starting up, or improving their kennels or cattery to visit Cattery Design~ or ~ Kennel Design.

In 2006, when we became the proud new owners of Westlodge Kennels and Cattery in Cambridge, we inherited a paper-based system of cards.

We wanted to ensure we provided a special service where every dog and cat's needs were known, and catered for. So we introduced our bookings software system made by PetAdmin to be able to note every pet's details in full ~ detailing everything we would need to know to care for them during their stay with us.

We are delighted with our bookings software, and it has enabled us to provide a much more personal service, and one that is much more efficient. We can track everything, we can hold a waiting list, so that those customers who would like to book in a year in advance, or a few days in advance can do so easily.

Our deepest thanks to PetAdminfor providing a bookings system that allows us to take extra-special care of our Clients.

In 2006 we introduced our new PetAdmin Booking System for Clients
