What this is, in plain terms
Several weeks in a familiar boarding environment can give a dog more time to become accustomed to spending time in its travel crate.
That is what the stay offers: time, a settled routine, and the crate present as part of it. Days are spent in the fenced gardens with supervised group play, and every dog has its own bed at night.
One family, both halves of the move
Your dog stays with us in the gardens: supervised play through the day, an own bed at night, photos while you travel.
The flight, the documents, the customs clearance and the route are handled by Pets Go Global, our sister company. Same owner, same people, one conversation for the whole move.
Tell us both parts when you enquire and we arrange them together. You do not need to book twice or explain your dates twice.
On this page that means the crate itself and the measurements it has to meet come from Pets Go Global, and the stay, with the crate there as part of the routine, is ours.
What to send with your enquiry
- ✓ The boarding dates you have in mind
- ✓ When the flight is, if the date is known
- ✓ How many dogs, and what size they are
- ✓ Whether the crate is already with you

Why a stay before departure helps at all
Nothing here is a promise about how a flight will go. It is time, and a routine the dog already knows.
Weeks instead of the last few days before the flight.
Gardens by day, an own bed at night, the same shape every day.
You can see how your dog is getting on while you organise the move.
Dogs have been staying here before international flights for years.
The documented case
Several weeks with us before flying to East Sussex, becoming familiar with their travel crates.
