There are many benefits that pet owners enjoy in life, and Marendale Boarding Kennels in Sydney’s Northern Beaches is one of them. The experienced team at Marendale treat pet guests with love and respect while pet owners can enjoy a stress-free holiday.

Boarding Kennels with a difference
At Marendale Boarding Kennels Northern Beaches, every dog’s individual needs are assessed in order to create an environment that best suits their developmental needs; providing the most benefit. Marendale recognises that each dog is more than just a pet – he is a member of a family. Unlike a traditional boarding kennel, where animals are caged more than 20 hours per day, Marendale Boarding Kennels provides dogs the space to romp, roll, and stretch to their hearts’ content. Most dogs play leash-free in a structured environment with other dogs. Marendale also provides individual walks and own playtime with one of our staff.

Marendale Boarding Kennels Northern Beaches is well aware of pet ownership benefits, and knows only too well how precious pets can be to their owners. All the experienced staff at Marendale are passionate about animals and make all pet guests feel like one of the family.

According to 2002 Australian Pet Ownership Statistics by the Petcare Information and Advisory Service (PIAS), almost 65% of Australian households own a pet, and pets are a normal part of childhood for more than 83% of Australians. Dog owners in particular, exercise more though you can certainly get exercise playing with an energetic cat or kitten. In general, pet owners have shorter hospital stays, fewer doctor visits, take fewer medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol, and fall asleep easier at night.

Dog Socialising at Marendale Boarding Kennels
Marendale Boarding Kennels Northern Beaches completely understand the importance for dog socialisation, and actively promote this behaviour with all their dog guests. Allowing dogs the opportunity to socialize with other dogs is one of the most important social tools a dog can have. The majority of dog behaviour traits can be traced back to their history as predators that were programmed to be constantly around other dogs to survive. Regular play with other dogs builds a dog's confidence and improves his/her ability to communicate and interact.

The more dogs a dog interacts with the better their social skills become. Many behaviour problems can occur when pet owners are away from home and their dogs are left alone. This happens due to the dog's increased stress level when isolated. At Marendale Boarding Kennels Northern Beaches, the daily program fulfils a dogs social, mental and physical needs through social interaction with other dogs, plenty of physical exercise in the large outdoor play area and other creative toys and games to keep a dog's mind sharp and active.
