A Farm Holiday for Melbourne Dogs

If you live in Melbourne, our farm at Flynn gives your dog a country holiday while you're away, with room to move and care from the same family that has run the kennels since 2003.

You don't have to make the drive yourself. Our Dog Taxi can pick your dog up from home and drop them back at the end of their stay. Even with the taxi charge, it can work out cheaper than leaving your dog in a kennel in Melbourne, with the bonus of a farm holiday. Contact us for a taxi quote.
