The Doggery is a home-based canine nursing and boarding facility on a 40-acre lifestyle block in rural Taupaki, West Auckland, at 55B Hunter Road. It was founded in 2014 by Cecilia Hurly, a qualified veterinary nurse. The site says it cares for puppies from 10 weeks to 18 months, adult dogs and senior dogs, and dogs with medical conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes and heart or kidney disease.
Guest numbers are capped at eight dogs at a time, and medication is given on site. Round-the-clock monitoring is available, and the site says care can include geriatric, recumbency and post-operative needs. Transport collection and drop-off to home, vets and specialist appointments is available for a fee. Visitors should phone Cecilia on arrival, because there is a security gate at the property.
