Dog Kennels Yeppoon
The Yeppoon dog kennels have the largest outdoor grassed areas on the Capricorn Coast, with plenty of space for off-leash exercise for your pet. There are two separate dog areas. These are the kenneled dog areas and the little dog area. In addition, there are two very large grassy areas with fencing. This allows larger group play.
Shared Kenneling
Contemporary canine research indicates that it is safer and more comfortable for dogs to share their boarding with a mate. Share kenneling is only on request and will be either a family member or an appropriate partner after assessment.
Kennel Facilities (3 Blocks)
Block 1 (Jabiru) & Block 2 (Kakadu)
Block 1, (Jabiru) has 28 kennels and Block 2, (Kakadu) has 36 Kennels. A total of 64 kennels. The 56 large kennels are 5.5 x 1.45 meter, and the 8 larger kennels are 5.5 x 2.9 meter. Each dog has a comfortable, locally made, custom, off the ground trampoline bed.

Block 3 (Little Dog pens)
Block 3 (Little Dog Pens) is made up of 8 various sized, roomy, grassy areas and cabins where shared boarding happens. There are future plans to build a much larger community run for the little dogs and shall be complete before the mid year holidays.
Each kennel block has the added security of 24/7 infra-red camera and sound monitoring. This may be viewed from anywhere internet can be accessed.
Doggy Day Care Kennels
Unrestricted access to outdoor play area where dogs can have a day filled with activities including agility runs and water play areas.
Dogs will need to have a behavioural assessment to find their suitability for this activity prior to staying with us. This is because some dogs just don’t play well with others.
