Studying Your Diploma

Kennels and catteries provide an invaluable service to pet owners who need their animals cared for during short periods of absence.

Whether they are going on holiday or into a hospital, an owner does not place the care of their pet into another’s hands lightly. It’s a huge show of trust.

This is why learning how to properly care for cats and dogs is so important to the successful running of a cattery or kennel.

The Kennel and Cattery Management Level 3 Diploma can help you achieve this. This course will teach you how to correctly and safely care for dogs and cats, from health and nutrition to behaviour and wellbeing.

You will also cover legislation and kennel/cattery management so you can run your business correctly and legally.
