The cost of our capable services varies depending on the nature and scale of your requests. However, we have compiled a rough outline of our costs below.
Boarding
(Overnight at Our Home)
A full day of boarding is available for just £25 a day (for up to a 24 hour period). When more than one dog is boarded from the same household, a 10% discount will be applied to the second and any subsequent dog.
For example, your first dog will cost £25 to board, while the second and any additional dogs will cost £22.50.
We advise that you supply sufficient food for your pets' stay to avoid any upset stomachs; if, however, you're content for your pet(s) to be fed with our food, then we will be happy to feed them a generic kibble style dry and/or tinned pet food.
Walking Your Pet
(now NOT a stand-alone service)
All walks begin in a secure paddock that we hire, in order to ascertain your pet’s recall capabilities. They may be obedient for you, but less so for us. When your pet demonstrates good recall with us, we will happily take them anywhere without the lead. If they’re not as good as we hope, we will make use of a long (15m) lead which will ensure that they get the run that they enjoy, whilst still being completely under our control.
Doggy Day Care
When you don’t need to have your pets looked after overnight, you are well-poised to take advantage of our Doggy Day Care service at just £20 (any period up to 12 hours (no evernight stay) between 8:00 am & 8:00 pm. Earlier or later times can usually be accomodated at no extra cost - just ask and we'll see if we can accomodate your wishes.
As with our boarding rates, there is a discount when more than one dog lives in the household. That means the first dog would be £20, while the second and any subsequent dogs will cost just £18.
Affordable Rates
The price of our Pet Taxi / Transportation services will vary depending on how often you utilise our assistance. It starts at £0.80/mile - an all-inclusive rate*. There are no hidden charges for hours worked, or any other type of charge**.
You can request where in the vehicle your pet travels; the crash crate in the boot, the back seat (clipped in), or possibly even the front passenger (clipped in).
Shoule your pet be found to be unsuitable for travel where you've requested, we reserve the right to move them to one more suitable.
* No extra charges for food, subsistance, nor for early or late hours.
** If you've asked us to take a bitch to a stud, and to return the same day - we may need to charge an extra fee for the time spent waiting at the stud farm whilst tieing occurs,
Pet Sitting in Your House
At SWAT Pets, we are licensed & Insured to house and pet-sit. These services are available in the evenings on weekdays, and daytime on weekend days.
In either case, please get in touch to discuss how we may help you, as it is often difficult to schedule these services between our normal working activities.
Quick Sit
(A short visit to your house)
As part of this service, we will visit your house for up to an hour in order to carry out a variety of tasks. Costing just £12.50, this service includes:
Letting the dogs out for a run – Changing cat litter – Putting down fresh food – Emptying bins – Bringing in the mail – Turning lights on & off – Opening & closing curtains – Washing bowls – Anything you can think of (within reason).
Transportation Services
Whether the destination your pet is bound for is near or far, our company is happy to help. When you’re unable to make it yourself, we’ll conveniently take your dog to the groomer. When you wish to move your pet further afield, we are on hand to assist. SWAT Pets frequently transport pets for breeders around the country, this includes airport trips to facilitate the transportation of pets to another country.
SWAT Pets is fully insured to transport animals via vehicle, and are registered with the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) for journeys over 65Km and up to 8 hours.
Due to a change in the implementation of their licence regulations, our licence only covers journeys where the total travelling time is less than 8 hours, and is within the UK. For journeys where the total travelling time is outwith the scale of this, or the destination is outside the UK, we are now unable to assist. (This change is primarily due to Brexit and the cessation of the transitory period.)
When moving house, pets can find things stressful, so we can come and collect your pet(s), look after them for the day/overnight, and then deliver them to your new home. This will alleviate all the stress that your pet would go through, and that you may go through too - having to keep one eye on the movers and one eye on your pet.
