Holidaying with dogs

We love dogs! and want you to bring your dog on holiday!  

There are lots of accommodation places which allow you to bring your dog. Esperance is a very dog friendly town. So you dont miss out on visiting the national parks, or going on a fantastic tour, Abalee Kennels on Sheldon Road can board your dog. This kennel is adjoined to the Sheldon Road Vet Hospital. Swans Veterinary Services, also located on Sheldon Road can board cats and offer excellent veterinary services and dog grooming. And for dog sitting, dog grooming and dog exercise, Doggy Wellness Esperance is located 30, Norseman Rd (Ph: 9071 3363). So book your pooch in for some pampering while you head out and enjoy our wonderful area.
