If you aren't able to leave your pampered pooch with family or friends, finding a kennel for him or…read moreher to stay is an important part of your holiday planning. I visited several kennels before my vet recommended Five Star and none of them stacked up to the wonderful environment Paul and Tracey have at their home and kennels in Springwood. Kennels makes it sound so drab and is almost the wrong way to describe their property. It's a pet resort. There's plenty of room for the dogs to roam and play with other dogs (they match them to a 'buddy' for the duration of their stay). We were able to go and inspect the property before booking, and our dog has stayed with them twice now. He loves it. On his second stay there he raced to Paul as soon as we got him out of the car. We pay a small fee on top of the daily rate for our pooch to stay inside the house with Paul and Tracey and it's worth each cent. He comes home happy as Larry. I also like that we can text them for quick updates on how he is doing while we're away. It really is a small peace of mind while you're away. They have strict drop off and pick up times - which I respect - especially when you're orchestrating the number of four legged friends they are. I would have no hesitation in sending any friends with dogs to Paul and Tracey at Five Star.

Not a great experiance, on return to pick up our 2 dogs we were told to wait outside, after 15 mins…read morethey brought out our dogs which were very excited, after getting them into the car we realised the dogs were filthy dirty and they stank of shit basically, we had to travel 7 hours with them like this, we also noticed both dogs have bloodshot eyes not sure what from, ears were also thick with dirt, we stopped in our trip to walk the dogs and give them a toilet break both dogs had runny stool, which they have never had before both had ill stomachs and farting for the full trip, also the dogs were very hard to control as they are only 8 months only they must have been left to run a muck in that place for the full 10 days, majority of discipline gone, only good thing to say is the staff were nice and the dogs were happy ,

I recently went here with a friend who's looking for a dog to adopt and was really impressed with…read morethe standard and organisation of this facility. All on the one block of land, there's the adoption centre and a big RSPCA pet store, where, if you adopt an animal, you can go straight away to stock up on things to care for your new pet. Upon walking into the adoption centre, staff are friendly and welcoming and eager to help if you have any questions about the process or need advice about what type of animal to adopt. All animals available for adoption are in the RSPCA database, so you can actually search online before going there. It's mostly dogs available for adoption here, but I saw some little guinea-pig hutches and a few cats too. The dogs are each kept in their own little room with a screen telling you their name, breed, age, with a little bit of information about their temperament and needs. Some of them have a half door open through which you can reach in and give them a cuddle. Adopting a dog from RSPCA will set you back around $300, but they come desexed and vaccinated, so it's pretty good value and you get to give a dog a new home.
