Sunshine Coast Pet Resort

Thanks very much for looking after our babies Faith, Iggy and Boo (the cat).

We are always really pleased with how accommodating you are with our treasured little ones. Although I think of them numerous times every day, while we are away, and still miss them terribly but I feel reassured that you are offering them the very best.

It was wonderful to hear that they behaved themselves enough to frequent your office as we know they would have loved that as they spend most of each day in our offices doing the same thing. So thanks very much once again for all your teamed efforts.

They looked great when they arrived home and smelled lovely.

"Sunshine Coast pet resort has done it again,

The A Team came home looking thoroughly spoiled as usual and not only that they looked like they had just stepped out of a Parisian Salon!

Rupert looked stunning in his next to skin tight hairdo,
Jeanie looked white as snow
Benson looks 10 years younger with his new youthful appearance having all that heavy winter coat removed, it really lifts his cheek bones. Being elderly and an Irish Wolfhound he is a handful and you gave him the best gaeriatric care possible.

Henry of course is as stunning as a ragdoll can be!

We always feel comfortable leaving them in your capable hands, thank you again.

Thanks Sam,

Hope all is well and thanks for the special care for Benson, he looks fabulous."

"I can't thank you enough for the care you and your team have provided Ollie in her first boarding experience.

Ollie seemed very happy when we collected her after 6 days, but certainly didn't appear to be rushing to leave. Just watching her on the CCTV, walking amongst the other puppies, I could see she was certainly adjusting and enjoying her time with them. It was so beneficial for us to see her in her surroundings, which reassured us that we she was fine. Sam, your dog is absolutely gorgeous and is a wonderful role model for dogs such as Ollie who have experienced more human time than dog time. Just watching him on the CCTV, his beautiful nature is wonderful for the other dogs.

Thank you also for the daily report. It was great to see how she was settling in and I am so very pleased she wasn't too spooked by the experience, and continued to maintain a healthy appetite. Once again a testament to you and your team.

Please pass our thanks to Lisa who achieved tremendous results with Ollie's new look. Ollie's new coat looks fabulous and (although I quite like a little more length on her), she is so very happy to be rid of her coat in preparation for summer.

Bless you Sam for understanding human psychology - in fact I am sure you must have a degree! I realised very early on that it wasn't actually about Ollie being in a strange place, despite all the reassurances that she would be well taken care of, it was very much about the separation anxiety that I was experiencing. Thank you for managing my needs as well as Ollie's. You really are a beautiful person, with a wonderful team, handling very difficult people. Well done and thank you for handling me.

James and I wish you all the very best with the Sunshine Coast Pet Resort, and perhaps with our next stay - I won't need much managing.

Kindest regards and best wishes"

"Thank you Pet Resort. We were very concerned about leaving our 2 Chihuahua’s while we went overseas for 2 weeks. We searched a large number of boarding kennels but couldn’t find any that we felt comfortable with and would look after our small dogs. We found Sunshine Coast Pet Resort and decided to drop in and have a look. We found the facility to be very well kept and their team were all friendly and helpful in explaining the service. Even though it was further away than we would have liked, it was well worth the drive from Ipswich to the Sunshine Coast for the piece of mind that our puppies would be cared for in The Golden Paw Lounge.

Again, thank you for taking such good care of Milo and Taco, we will definitely use Sunshine Coast Pet Resort next time we go away. "

"Hi Sam and crew at the Pet Resort, I just wanted to thank you so much for taking brilliant care of my little Miley (the smiley ridgeback pup) on the weekend . Being her first time away I was a little anxious but when I dropped her off on Friday I immediately felt that she would be in the safe hands and care. She was so contented when she returned home on Monday and just appeared so very happy. Thank you to you and your team for taking wonderful care of her and keeping my peace of mind!! She will definitely pay you a visit again :-)"

"Just want to tell you Sam that the resort did a lovely spa job with my two girls – the cross Irish wolfhound’s coat is difficult to make look good, but she looked like a queen and my cross Lab has never looked sassier. And they both look in top healthy condition after their three week resort stay with you. I want to thank you and your team for the loving and careful way you attended to medications on my behalf - and overseeing their recuperation. I recommend your place often to people and know I can continue to do that confidently. "

"Our puppy is a small dog that is very timid and not very sociable around other dogs ... Portia goes everywhere with my wife, even to work where she sits at her feet... so parting with her for two weeks while we were on holidays was going to be a big challenge for both Portia and my wife. Portia is on a very rigid diet also, given that she had major surgery at a young age that was life threatening, so what she eats could be fatal...

"I have two pampered pooches who until now have had house/dog sitters move in whenever I go away.

Not any more. Sunshine Coast Pet Resort really listened when I outlined my dogs' habits and made sure "the girls" were contented, had lots of attention and play time.

I love the "report cards" summarising each day's activities and am over the moon that the girls wag their tails and pull at the leash to see Sam and the team at Sunshine Coast Pet Resort. Always a good sign.

Travelling regularly for work, and working long hours - the pick up and delivery service is an absolute gift for me. The dogs are secure and come home relaxed after their visit to the "pet resort" giving me peace of mind while I am away."

When Semi "holidays" at your Pet Resort she comes home looking healthy -
but complains about being away from home by way of *loud meows* for at
least an hour after arriving home (all the neighbours know that Semi has
arrived home). On the report from her last visit I noted the comment
"Semi is not eating - watch her". How right you were. I waited a few days before I took her to the vet - thinking she may have been sulking. When I took her to the vet I commented that I did not think she was actually sick but she was only picking at her food and not eating properly - he took blood/urine tests - no problems there - checked her mouth out and she had inflamed gums. Her mouth must have been so sore that she could not eat. He gave her a cortisone and antibiotic injection and sent me home with antibiotic pills for 5 days. Within 12 hours she was making up for lost time and is eating normally again now.

THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM for caring for Semi -

"Home away from home" That is how I would describe The Sunshine Coast Pet Resort! When their van arrives to pick my 3 dogs and Cat up to go, they all race to see who can get in first and that's a great sign!

The accomodation is clean and the dogs are always groomed before they return home. Regarding value for money the resort is right up there, we moved from Sydney and it is a breath of fresh air in that respect so congratulations, 10 out of 10 from our family.

"I have been sending my 14 year old blue cattle dog to Sunshine Coast Pet Resort for many years, in fact since they first took over control of these kennels. Binty is usually in the kennels for two weeks ever two or three months.

Binty is picked up at our home and returned there. She has displayed no traits of not wishing to go to the kennels, in fact she appears to look forward to it when she is picked up.When she is returned, she is not hungry and she has been shampooed. I have no hesitation in recommending the Resort to owners. I can be contacted on telephone no. 07- 5479-1597 if further information is required.

"We have been using the sunshine coast petresort for a number of years and in that time have found Sam and her friendly staff, to be reliable and professional. Our animals are part of our family , so it is important to us that they are cared for and loved when they are away from home.
Sam and her staff always achieve these results with our animals."

I'm a 4 year old stumpy tailed cattle dog, although I hear my Mum and Dad say I'm the most peculiar looking cattle dog they have ever seen! I live at home with my mum and dad but dad often goes away on business and mum sometimes goes with him so, I never know if I am going to be on holiday for 4 days or 2 weeks.

When Frans comes with the truck to pick me up I rush to him to say hello because I know that I am going to be well looked after, given lots of walks, playtime and cuddles, sometimes have my photograph taken or a swim and brush up on my computer skills when I am in the office with Sam who by the way has extremely lickable legs!! In fact, I am looked after so well - one day I even went fishing with Frans - that I have heard my Mum and Dad say that when I get back home I've been so spoilt they have to 'get tough' with me.

When I'm on my walks I tell my friends about the Pet Resort and now a red cattle dog friend of mine, Raf Miller also goes to the Pet Resort. When I was at the vet having my annual check up, I even heard Dad tell my Vet what a good time I have. If you want anymore information probably best to talk to my Mum and Dad because in spite of Sam showing me my computer skills are not very good and trying to answer a mobile phone with 4 paws is pretty much impossible!
