Boarding kennels

Dog boarding near Naracoorte, with room to stretch their legs.

We're out in the bush on a spacious private property, so your dog's stay isn't spent in a town backyard. Here's what they get while you're away.

  • Walks through the bush

    Dogs are walked on a lead through the bush surrounds of our property.

  • Locked, secure kennels

    The kennels are kept locked and secure, and they're kept extremely clean.

  • Their food or ours

    We can provide meals, or you can bring their usual food. Same goes for bedding.

  • A brush and a tidy

    If they need a brush or a groom while they're here, we'll do it.

Day care too

Just need a day? We take dogs for day care as well. Call to check we've got room.

About Struan

Boarding kennels run by Andy and Jo, on their own property.

We're Andy and Jo, and Struan is our place, 18km out of Naracoorte at Joanna. We've been looking after the district's dogs and cats here for years, and every one that comes through gets treated like one of our own.

Jo's trained dogs for more than 15 years. She even taught her labrador cross Leroy to sniff out footrot in sheep, which landed the pair of them on the front page of the Stock Journal.

Not all our guests are dogs and cats, either. We've had a lamb come to stay, and Buddy the galah is a regular around the cattery.

“Straun Dog Kennels is amazing! The owners Andy and Jo always look after my fur baby so well and I feel confident to leave him when my family goes away because he is in safe hands. My dog always comes home as happy as I left him. Thank you for your wonderful care and service 🤗”

“Andy and Jo very friendly and looked after our fur babies for 2 daycare stays. Very clean and kids had smiles on their faces when picked up. Will use their service again, when back over this way. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing boarding kennels, Andy and Jo do an amazing job with all the animals. All of my dogs have been happy and tired when returning from their stay. Just recently on returning from their stay, I m sure my 5mth old pup had learnt a few more manners just in a week. Thanks again guys🐶🐶”
