Fido’s Lodge Boarding Kennels & Cattery, established in 1996 and under new ownership since 2017, is a premier pet boarding facility located just 10 minutes from Ipswich, Queensland. Owned by Sharon Thorp and managed by Kayleen Williams, both of whom have extensive experience in kennel management, breeding, and showing, the lodge is dedicated to providing exceptional care for dogs and cats. With a commitment to individualized attention, Fido’s Lodge has become a trusted choice for pet owners from Stradbroke Island to the Gold Coast, as evidenced by their high rate of repeat business.
The facility features upgraded kennels and cattery accommodations designed to ensure the comfort and well-being of all guests. Each dog enjoys a spacious sleeping area with insulated day runs to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, along with large exercise yards for daily playtime. The cattery has also been refreshed to provide more room and ventilation for feline guests, ensuring a pleasant environment. Both dogs and cats are fed premium diets, including Royal Canin and fresh chicken options, with no extra charges for medication administration or special dietary needs.
At Fido’s Lodge, the philosophy centers around treating every pet as a valued guest. The staff takes the time to understand each animal’s unique preferences and requirements through a detailed questionnaire, allowing for personalized care. With plans for further facility enhancements and a focus on maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety, Fido’s Lodge is committed to creating a nurturing environment where pets can thrive while their owners are away.
