Incident at P&E Boarding Kennels

I hadn’t heard the poor dog had parvovirus, but this would indeed explain the Colitis-like symptoms, and is a much more serious condition than idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease in dogs. It would also explain why the poor beautiful animal had to be sealed tightly, however disagreeable this might be. If it is indeed true he had parvo then steroids would suppress his immune system making the infection even worse. It would also mean that the kennel owner had a duty to dispose of the animal as it’s sadly not curable and spreads to other animals. But, again I say this is only if it was known that he did have parvovirus. In any case it seems there should have been communication with the owner, assuming that the owner left a valid telephone number with the kennels etc. when I leave my cat into boarding they have my number plus that of a relative back home in case of emergency. I always have to sign a waiver that he may be euthanised upon decision of the vet.

The only time that Parvo has been mentioned is a quote that apparently came from the kennel owner. Lets say the poor dog did contract Parvo - how did she get it? Even if she was vaccinated but immunocompromised, she would have had to catch it from either another boarding dog, or more likely one of the many strays and "rescue" dogs that are taken in. Extremely bad animal husbandry keeping paying guests in close contact with possible virus carrying "rescue babys in my care".



Now, again, even if the dog had contracted Parvo, and had to be kept separate, aren't kennels are meant to have quarantine quarters for such occurences? If he contacted a vet and there was a risk of parvo outbreak, what dog was the cause of it? He would have had to attend a vet with the dog that brought in the parvo in the first place, where's that detail? And ANY vet worth their veterinary licence would have opened out of hours to take the poor dogs body to keep in cold storage to prevent a parvo outbreak.



And finally. No phonecall, no words of compassion, no warning but "here's your dog in wrapped up". I mean look at the state of the package? How can you comprehend that this was a 25kg dog? And that to just hand her over like this with zero information and nothing since is professional behaviour?

I have been following the story since it broke and its heartbreaking

Poor Nova didn't have parvo. Nova had Coilitis and they were told that had the medication to administer twice a day and given instruction. Both verbally and in writing on how to give it. The owners have also not disclosed the vet that seemingly attended to Nova or instructed them verbally.

In the story of the poor lady who's dog seemingly died and was cremated they have refused to speak with her or disclose the vets details who attended and pts her dog without her consent. She is very upset and hoping her dog is still alive somewhere.

Another lady has come forward and said when she got her dog back it was badly hurt. They are trying to make out her dog was in that condition when it went into their care.

Other numerous stories are coming out over pets traumatised when they have come out of there.

Update from Owner:


Now What is asked is... WHAT happened Nova in her final hours?
WHO administered the mediation to Nova or did they?
WHAT was her demeanour in her last hours?
WHY her owners weren't informed?
WHY were they not brought in and shown compassion and respect?
WHY did the owner of the establishment leave in the van on owners arrival?
WHY did someone else to hand the dog out?
WHY was Nova's owner not brought inside?
WHY won't you answer?

imo the owner got a very easy ride on the 9 o'c RTE news-why couldn't he have been asked these very pertinent questions

Should be hopefully. More and more stories now coming out

Update from Nova s owners.

want to let you all know that what is being said about Nova and the possibility of her having parvovirus while being boarded In P&E Boarding Kennels and Catteryis false. This is a cover up. Nova was checked by my vet two days before going to the kennels and fully vaccinated.

The vaccine certs were shown to the kennels on the day I left her. No professional kennel would allow dogs in for boarding without the dog being vaccinated or seeing the vaccination certs. 
It is not possible for her to have had parvo as she was boarded with my other dog Romeo who is perfectly fine and was kept in the same kennel.

I have results from Novas postmortem confirming that she didn’t have parvovirus. 
I have still yet to be contacted by Paddy or any member of staff.

If the kennels expected parvo why wasn’t this said to me when I arrived to collect Romeo and Nova ?

Why did Paddy xxxxxxx leave in such a rush when we arrived ?

Why are there conflicting statements made by Paddy, saying he was instructed by a vet and in a second statement he instructed a member of staff to package nova in this way himself ?

If it was suspected that Nova was sick while
In their care, why was the contact information given by myself and my vet to the kennels never used ?

This is horrific. What is going on ? I've read numerous stories now of other dogs being mistreated and the owner of these kennels will never even speak to dog owners

This makes me want to set up my own Kennel, You'd have to put in effort to be a ****tier kennel owner.

They knew the dog had collitus, similar symotoms.

Yet the dog had no food or medication in her stomach.

Ass covering by kenell owner, but most seeing through it.

Or look up the lady who had her lurcher returned to her covered in bite puncture marks.

Where is he getting all the dogs he 'rehomes'? Why is he sending labrador puppies over to the UK? Is he robbing the dogs? Getting the puppies from puppy farms? Why are none of the dogs microchipped, vaccinated, or neutered before they are rehomed? Isn't it illegal not to have dogs/puppies microchipped? Why has he unvaccinated dogs and puppies in with the dogs he is boarding?

I think the dogs going to the uk are a different rescue....a legitimate breed specific one.
The dogs are Irish dogs from pounds etc and they board with him while getting their vaccs etc. This rescue didn’t used to rehome in Ireland but I think it does now. The rescue used to use kennels near the airport but changed when the co ordinator changed.


As for “second chance rescue” I think that is something he started himself....I have no idea.

Whatever happened to the dog....putting in a bag like that and not contacting the owner is not acceptable.

I can't wrap my head around that.

IF the dog died through no fault of the owner or staff how can they have been so lacking in compassion for the the owner that they would think it was okay to present her with her pet like this.

IF there is mistreatment going on how they be so stupid as to draw attention to it like this.

I have used them for maybe 9/10 years.....never had any trouble.
Another rescue also uses/used them before dogs go to UK. Not sure if they still do?
It is so awful what happened. Why didn’t he call the vet that is 5/10 minutes away.
I am sure the vet would of held onto the dog until the owner came home.

With regard to the other story with the cremation....I find that very strange? I would be interested to find out what vet cremated the animal. Two months ago I had to pts one of my dogs and I got her cremated......I can’t remember the cost but it was a few hundred euro.

The owner claimed on the news that a/the vet told them to wrap the dog like that.

The stupidity of it blows my mind far more than the lack of decency.
