Welcome to our Dog Hotel

The DSPCA Pet Hotel & Boarding facility provides the highest level of care and comfort for your dog’s when you need to board them. 

 

Located on the DSPCA campus in Rathfarnham, our dog hotel consists of 75 indoor suites, all dogs are housed individually unless from the same household. The suites have heating and air-conditioning.

 

They receive regular exercise and playtime with our canine carers.

 

When in boarding dogs are walked in the same area however there is no off-lead mixing with other dogs as we simply would not know the pets well enough to be mixing them.

You can avail of our Doggie Daycare as an additional service while your pet is staying, please talk to reception to make sure your dog is suitable and to book the ad on.
