Lucky Dog Boarding Kennels is a boarding kennel and daycare on Rangiora Woodend Road in Ravenswood, near Kaiapoi, serving Christchurch and North Canterbury dog owners. The owners took over the kennels and property in July 2022. The kennels are double-glazed and insulated, and there are nine large exercise yards. Dogs are encouraged to socialise under supervision, and the team includes a qualified vet nurse, Emily, with 24-hour veterinary service. Guests are fed Royal Canin Sensible Digestive Care, and owners can bring their own food, including prescription or raw diets.
The kennels are open seven days, with check-in and check-out between 8am and 10am and between 4pm and 6pm. Reception is closed on Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Reviewers say their dogs came home happy and tired, that the kennels are clean, and that the team cared for dogs with specific medical needs. One customer says the kennel was spacious and the dogs played outside with other dogs. Another would like more updates or photos while a dog is boarding, so communication is part of the picture.
