MANNING VALLEY
Dog boarding for Old Bar
Old Bar dog boarding at a real farm — ten dogs maximum, daily paddock play, $40 home pick up.
- Distance from the farm
- 41km
- Drive time
- 43 min
- Home pick up
- $40 flat
Old Bar families are about 40 minutes from the farm, and plenty tell us the drive is worth it for somewhere their dog is actually happy to be dropped off.
We keep numbers small on purpose. Ten dogs means real supervision, real play, and someone who notices straight away if your dog is off their food.
Add home pick up for $40 and we'll collect on our Manning Valley run.
Our paddocks are shared, so a farm stay suits social dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. If you're not sure that's your dog, give us a call and we'll talk it through — a trial day usually answers it for both of us.
