About Keringa

Keringa-Petwings is a world-leading pet services organisation that specialises in luxurious boarding and transport for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and other pets. A long-standing member of IPATA (International Pet and Animal Transportation Association), Keringa-Petwings has been in operation and setting the benchmark for 50 years.

Although Keringa opened officially in March 1973, our story began long before this. In fact, it started not with Keringa at all, but with a stray dog who arrived at our Kew home and refused to leave. A cross German Shepherd with a floppy ear and bright eyes, we called him Negra. As responsible pet owners do, we took him to dog training and became friendly with a kennel owner who lived out in Honeydew. The idea of working with dogs, cats, and other animals took hold quickly.

With Keringa, you are guaranteed exceptional pet care and you get it. You expect first-class food and your pets get it. You expect the best of everything that money can buy for them because they deserve it. We’ve been going the extra mile and providing all of the above for 50 years, so we must be doing something right. Right?

Client Testimonials

To each and every person working at Keringa Kennels, I wish to convey my deepest gratitude to you for looking after our two dogs, Alfie and Nikki, and our two cats, Gus and Harriet, whilst we were away on holiday. Thank you for working tirelessly over the December holidays, feeding the animals and cleaning their enclosures. We as a family appreciate it very, very much.

Thank you sooooo much for all the help. Bonsai actually moved to South Africa with us 4.5 years ago and is now home in the USA. Attached pic. Bless you, for your help. Bonsai is purring and so happy

Keringa Kennels was there for me when I was at my very lowest, about to be hospitalised and needing care for my elderly, ill fur child, Angel. They went above and beyond in their kindness to me. They were so compassionate and understanding. One thing I did not have to worry about in hospital was Angel. Keringa isn’t a kennel for me, it’s family now.
