How to make their stay safe, calm, and comfortable

Older dogs are just like older people—they need a bit more patience, a slower pace, and thoughtful care. Whether your dog is 8 or 18, boarding them should feel as close to home as possible.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I provide gentle, home-based boarding that supports the unique needs of senior dogs. With over 30 years of experience, here’s how I help older pets feel secure and supported while you’re away.

1. Quiet, Low-Stress Environment

Busy kennels can be overwhelming for older dogs. Here, your dog stays in a real home—not a noisy, overstimulating space.

No crates No crowds Just peace, rest, and one-on-one care

2. Routine Matters More Than Ever

Senior dogs thrive on familiarity. I follow your dog’s schedule exactly—walk times, medication, feeding preferences, even nap spots—so they stay relaxed and healthy.

3. Monitoring Subtle Health Signs

Older dogs can’t always express discomfort. With decades of experience, I can spot subtle signs of fatigue, stress, or pain—and act quickly when something’s off.

4. Comfortable, Familiar Accommodations

Bring their bed, a blanket, or favourite toy. I’ll set them up in a quiet space where they can rest, snooze, and feel at home.

5. Personal Connection with You

I always communicate directly and personally. You’ll know how your dog’s doing, and I’ll make sure you feel confident throughout their stay.
