And Mark. They are passionate animal lovers and have created a safe and welcoming environment for pets in the Shire of Capel.
At Bushlands Pet Resort, the primary goal is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for pets while their owners are away. The dedicated staff understand that pets may experience anxiety when separated from their owners, and they work diligently to help each pet settle into a routine during their stay.
The resort offers both cat and dog boarding facilities. For dogs, there are eight large kennels that can accommodate two large dogs or three small dogs from the same family. Each day, boarded dogs are taken on a 1. 6-kilometre walk on the property's designated trail, allowing them to stretch their legs and socialise with other friendly dogs.
Dogs also have access to grassed runs and are always walked on a lead to ensure their safety.
To create a calm and soothing atmosphere for the dogs, they are provided with classical music from ABC Classic FM. This has proven to be the most effective genre for creating a relaxed environment. The kennels are also equipped with a misting system to ensure the dogs stay cool and comfortable, especially during the warmer months.
For cats, there are 20 cat runs available throughout the year, except for Christmas which tends to book up quickly. Three of these runs are equipped with ramps, making it easier for senior cats to move freely between the inside and outside areas. All cats have the option to snuggle into Snooza Igloos, providing them with a cosy and secure space.
In addition to providing exceptional care for pets, Bushlands Pet Resort is dedicated to conservation efforts in the area. They have partnered with Ludlow Tuart Forest Restoration Group and participate in the Land for Wildlife programme, creating habitats for wildlife on their property.
To make the booking process convenient for pet owners, Bushlands Pet Resort utilises an online booking system through Revelation Pets. This system allows customers to request bookings, join a waiting list, and access their customer portal to manage their pet's stay.
As pet owners themselves, Kath and Bill understand the importance of providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. They continue to strive for excellence in their services and are committed to ensuring the well-being of every pet that stays at Bushlands Pet Resort.
