Boarding Kennel Facilities

Our kennels are located in a peaceful countryside spot just outside Cumbernauld, Glasgow, offering a secure and comfortable retreat for your dog while you’re away. We provide a range of kennel options to suit different needs, all designed to keep your dog cozy and relaxed.

Our Standard Kennels

Our spacious standard kennels are designed to accommodate even large dogs comfortably. They are also suitable for two small or medium dogs from the same family.

Each kennel has an indoor sleeping area and an adjoining outdoor run, allowing dogs to move freely between the two areas during the day.

The indoor area is heated and includes soft, fresh bedding to ensure warmth and comfort. Each kennel also comes with a privacy curtain to create a cozy, stress-free environment.

Our Family Kennels

For families with larger dogs, our family kennels provide additional space. These kennels comfortably accommodate small families, two large dogs or a single giant breed.

Like our standard kennels, they feature a heated indoor space with soft bedding and an outdoor run where your pets can enjoy fresh air during the day.

These kennels are ideal for families who want their dogs to stay together.

Our Deluxe Kennels

For those looking for something a little extra, our deluxe kennels offer a more spacious and private setting with a homely feel.

Each kennel includes:

  • A human bed for a cosy night’s sleep
  • A living flame fire display to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere
  • A short evening stroll so your dog can settle before bedtime

As with all our guests, we provide plenty of personal attention — and these added comforts make the deluxe kennels a spacious, homely setting for dogs who enjoy a little extra comfort and privacy.

Dog Boarding Daily Activities

At Crowbank Boarding Kennels, we ensure that every dog enjoys a structured, engaging routine and meets their individual needs.

  • 09:30 Breakfast is served, with any morning medications given as needed.
  • 10:00 A longer walk — often in our large field with walking paths or on forest trails — or a one-to-one or small-group play session in the secure play areas, tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and preferences.
  • 12:30 Lunch break for staff and dogs — a quiet rest period in the kennels.
  • 14:00 The third outing of the day, with another walk or play session.
  • 16:30 Dinner service.

  • Late Evening Bedtime Routine The owners settle the dogs with treats and cuddles, while soft music or bedtime stories play to help everyone relax. Hatches are dropped, curtains drawn, and lights turned out for the night.

Exercise & Play

We provide a variety of exercise and play options to keep your dog active and engaged. Our facilities include:

  • Two large grass play areas for off-leash exercise.
  • softwood bark area with agility equipment.
  • Extensive, mown pathways around our large field
  • An indoor play space with ball pits and tunnels for poor weather conditions.

We tailor all activities to match your dog’s personality and energy levels. Where appropriate, social dogs can enjoy group play, while those who prefer a quieter environment can opt for individual play sessions or peaceful walks through the countryside.

Mental Enrichment

We believe that mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. Our enrichment activities include:

  • Puzzle games and Kongs to engage the mind.
  • One-on-one staff interaction for cuddles and attention.
  • Soothing music and bedtime stories to create a calm environment at night.

At Crowbank, we aim to provide every dog with a happy and fulfilling stay, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being while they are in our care. If you have any specific requests or concerns about your pet’s stay, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Excellent

I would highly recommend Crowbank, we have used Crowbank for our dogs and cats. Our dogs are regular visitors and they genuinely love the staff and the kennels so much. You can tell that the staff genuinely care about the animals in their care, even our reactive dog is at ease here, we would never go anywhere else. In fact, we have rescheduled a holiday before just so we could use Crowbank. I think one of the most important things when looking for a place to board your animals is trust and we absolutely trust them with our animals.
We are fairly regular customers of Crowbank Kennel and would highly recommend them. Our dog Finn loves going there and we trust them 100% to look after him as if he is their own. We would have no hesitation in recommending them and have done to friends and family used them before we did.Emma
Really glad we came across Crowbank who took fantastic care of our cat Finn. We were really worried about putting Finn in to a cattery for this first time but the care he received was fantastic and the set up they had was absolutely fantastic and so spacious.
Thank you
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Ziggy, while we were on holiday. This is the second time we've used Crowbank, and I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others 😊
first time using Crowbank for our golden retriever Archie. He had the best time playing with his new friends. Staff were all amazing and super friendly with myself, assuring me that Archie would be safe and healthy here. We plan on using them again soon. I would highly recommend this place 🥰
100% recommend Crowbank. Brodie has been going since a pup for boarding and day care. He’s so well looked after by the excellent and friendly team. He loved spending time with his daycare buddies.
10/10 cannot recommend enough!

The staff are always very welcoming upon arrival & do everything they can for a smooth handover for our nervous rescue pup.
Since adding another rescue to our family we recently tried her out too & she got on fab. Cute pictures on their Instagram kept us updated & put our mind at ease. You can tell how much the dogs mean to them & take great care of the pups with lots of playtime!

Even when we recently struggled with car trouble picking up our dogs, Crowbank were amazing & organised a very last minute drop off for over an hour round trip & for that we are so grateful.

We’re not even that local but have tried a few spots before but Crowbank by far exceeds them being professional yet super passionate in what they do. Grateful to have found them.
My dog Lucy has been Going here since a pup and loves the play time and free running , I can go away and enjoy my break knowing she is having the best holiday too have recommend to friends who all say exactly the same the team are amazing 🤩
Kylar had her 1st holiday at Crowbank this weekend and had a great time. Can't thank you guys enough for looking after her and introducing her to her new pals! She is already looking forward to the young ladies club 🐾 x
100% recommend Crowbank kennels. 1st time we used them our dog Zak was crying when we left him. it was heartbreaking. Next time we left him. The young girl who came to meet us shouted on Zak from a distance and he ran to her incredibly happy to see her and didn't even look back at us and walked away with her like she was his best friend. There's no better way to see your dog is well looked after than that. The entire set up is so gd. From the kennels themselves to the feeding regime and exercise areas as well as the location for long wooded walks. We are so glad Crowbank was recommended to us. Thank you for how well you look after my baby
