About Ballinderry Boarding Small Animal Retreat
This business came about when my family and I, grew our own little animal family with bunnies, guineas, a hamster, dog and a cat. Whilst we could find places for our dog and cat to stay when we went away, we discovered that there is a severe lack of exemplary accommodation for these little furries in Northern Ireland. We really struggled to find anywhere that would take them all at once, or had the opportunities to provide a luxury stay for all of them.
With limited choices, we worried about them our entire holiday and couldn’t wait to pick them up again and it really affected our enjoyment of my holiday! Dogs and cats are easily catered for with facilities in abundance but there really was nothing of a high standard available for small animals.
So….we built it ourselves!
Welcome to Ballinderry Boarding, where the accommodation is so good, you may even want to stay yourself!
Where your small pets have a luxurious holiday so you can truly enjoy yours!
