Grooming

Clean, trimmed & completely pampered

Regular grooming isn't vanity β€” it's health care. It clears dead hair, dirt and dander, prevents painful matting, and spreads your dog's natural oils for that glossy, healthy sheen.

  • Health checks built in: trained eyes spot lumps, skin conditions and ear infections owners can miss β€” and we'll always tell you.
  • All breeds, all coats: from puppy's first trim to double-coated mountains of fluff.
  • Trained & certified: Canine First Aid and Skin & Coat certified, with masterclass training under leading professionals.

Boarding kennels

A countryside stay, not a kennel block

We converted an old pig house and hay barn into spacious, comfortable boarding β€” and built a gravel path straight onto the old Tralee–Limerick railway line for proper daily walks.

6 heated kennels

Individually heated, including two large kennels ideal for a family of dogs staying together.

Generously sized day runs

Your pup won't spend the day in a kennel β€” everyone gets out, every day.

A real daily walk

Routes from 4k to 10k along the old railway, matched to your dog's legs and energy.

Drop offMorning 7am – 9:30am
Pick upEvening 5pm – 7pm
Flexible?Exceptions by prior agreement
Before you book: all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations including kennel cough β€” please bring proof of vaccination on arrival.

Meet Dara

Trained obsessively, so your dog relaxes

Dara O'Connell trained under Paul Hogan and keeps sharpening his craft through 1:1 masterclasses with professionals like Jenny Hale and Christina O'Brien β€” plus Canine First Aid and Skin & Coat certification. At the Galway County Grooming Championships, the judges gave him the Best Handler award.

"Our little pugalier has come home preened and pampered to perfection with her wee accessories. Can't thank you enough!"
