"loving care assured"

Scotson Fold Pet Care Centre was first established in December 1987, however the Scotson Fold Farmhouse dates back to 1590 and is the oldest timber frame house in the borough. It is set in a rural location within our 13 acres of countryside. If you need to be away from home, you want to be assured your pet is well cared for in your absence. At Scotson Fold Pet Care Centre, we have the knowledge, experience and dedicated carers that will ensure that you and your pet(s) have a stress free break. Our staff provide over 50 years service at Scotson Fold collectively.

At Scotson Fold we differ in many ways from other boarding facilities. We have a low turnover of staff which in itself speaks volumes; the majority of staff have been with us for many years. We employ more staff than normal kennels to ensure that our staff to pet ratio is sufficient for us to continue to provide the high level of care that we pride ourselves on. All our staff are provided with uniforms for that professional look but more so to help pets to relax and settle as they find comfort in the familiarity of their carers. We keep both full written and computerised records of every single pet that stays with us. This ensures accurate daily record keeping and monitoring of each and every guest and also eliminates the chance of any errors during the handover of care between staff. It also ensures the continuity of care for every pet for repeat visits. At least three of our senior staff members are vet-trained in Canine First Aid; certificates are displayed in our office.

On a couple of occasions our staff have bedded down for the night within our kennels in order to raise money for a local charity; Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter. We feel it important to help out smaller local charities who may not always have the capacity to arrange large fund raising events like some of the bigger, better known charities.

This site is designed to explain a few things about boarding your pet and to assure you (s)he is in safe hands at Scotson Fold. You can also view photographs of our kennels and cattery facilities. If you have any questions you can send them via our online feedback form and we will answer your query as soon as possible.

Our qualified canine beauticians offer full grooming services so we can pamper your dog during their stay with us. Alternatively grooming can be booked independent of boarding.

We provide a boarding facility for the love and respect of animals, not for a love of money. Loving care assured.

We have over the years received many complimentary comments about our caring team here at Scotson Fold, from both owners and their pets!
