Kennel spots in short supply over Xmas

Pet owners need to book now if they're to have a dog's chance of finding kennels or a cattery for their animal over the Christmas break.

Sunday News went on a nationwide search to find what it costs to have your dog or cat cared for and what owners should look for when checking out boarding facilities.

Auckland is the most expensive places to house your animal. At the top end of the market, Pets In The City in Mt Wellington, Auckland, has vista executive suites from $46.50 a day. Your pampered pooch will have a super king bed, duvet and pillow and a flat screen LCD TV tuned to Animal Planet or Nickelodeon with cookies to snack on. Critter Creek in Kumeu, Auckland, charges up to $33 a night for large dogs and $16 for cats. Paws Inn, Dunedin, charges $15 for any sized dog and $10 for cats.
