Ebrie Lodge Pet Hotel moved to its current location, just outside New Deer, in 1992 when a completely new kennel system was built. The pet hotel now has accommodation for dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals (i.e. hamsters, gerbils etc.) and domestic birds, including parrots, in cages. The business has now been operating for over 20 years with the same owner.
Dogs: Each kennel has a covered run at the front and an open air garden at the rear. The smallest sleeping area is approximately 2 metres square with a 2.5 metre square covered area and a garden of 10 x 3 metres approx. The largest kennel has a sleeping area of 2.5 metres square approx. with a covered area of 3 metres square approx. and a garden of some 14 x 10 metres. All the gardens are surrounded by a 2+ metre high open block wall. The individual kennels are heated by infra red heating and a background music system is installed throughout the kennel system.
Cats: The cat chalets are 1 metre wide by 2+ metres long and 2 metres high, with sneeze barriers to a height of 1 metre. Each chalet has a raised sleeping platform and the whole area is enclosed in wire mesh. Background music and heating is provided to the chalets. An outside cat conservatory is available for the cat who prefers the outdoor life!
Small Animals: These are housed within a heated "rabbit room" within the main kennel building. ELPH have nine rabbit/guinea pig hutches of various sizes. Other small animals can be accommodated within their own cages.
Caged Birds: These are boarded in the warm dry environment of the owner's premises.
