Geriatric Care and Special Medical Needs

Specialist Care for Senior Dogs and Dogs with Medical Needs.

Leaving your dog when they require medication, special care, or extra attention can feel stressful. Many pet parents worry that their dog’s needs may not be understood or managed properly while they are away.

At We Love Dogs Kennel Resort, we provide specialised care for senior dogs and dogs with medical requirements, ensuring they receive the attention, monitoring and compassion they deserve.
Our experienced team is trained to manage a wide range of medical and care requirements, giving you complete peace of mind while your dog enjoys a safe and comfortable stay.

Our team is fully trained in administering a wide range of medications and treatments safely and accurately.
We regularly manage:

• Tablets and liquid medications
• Eye and ear drops

Gentle Care Tailored to Your Dog

Senior dogs and dogs with health conditions often benefit from a calmer, more personalised environment.
That is why we tailor each dog’s daily routine to their specific needs.
Depending on your dog, this may include:

• Quiet relaxation time
• Gentle social interaction with compatible dogs
• Additional comfort and monitoring
• Support for mobility or physical limitations
• Adjusted feeding or exercise routines

Our goal is simple - to ensure every dog in our care feels comfortable, safe and loved throughout their stay.

For dogs with medical needs, close monitoring is essential.  At We Love Dogs, our experienced carers and managers live onsite, ensuring that your dog is supervised around the clock.  This constant supervision means we can respond quickly if your dog needs assistance, ensuring their well-being and comfort at all times.
