How to choose a kennel in Melbourne

PetGuides.au lists 5 kennels in Melbourne, VIC. Every listing carries an honest data-status label (Demo / Imported / Verified / Claimed) so you can judge how current it is — use the filters above to narrow by service, after-hours availability, or whether they’re accepting new clients. Here’s what to weigh when you choose.

Boarding is one place where seeing it in person really matters. Before you book:

  • Visit first: a good kennel will happily show you where dogs sleep, play and are exercised — take up the offer.
  • Vaccination and health policy: reputable kennels require current vaccination including kennel cough, which is a good sign rather than an inconvenience.
  • Supervision and routine: ask the staff-to-dog ratio, how often dogs are exercised, and how they’re grouped.
  • Special needs: confirm they can manage medication, a special diet or an anxious dog.
  • Peak season: book early for holidays and check the deposit and cancellation policy up front.

Questions to ask a Melbourne kennel

  • Can I visit and see the sleeping and exercise areas?
  • What vaccinations do you require before boarding?
  • How often are dogs exercised, and what’s the staff-to-dog ratio?
  • Can you give medication or manage a special diet?
