Welcome to Keringa-Petwings

Keringa-Petwings is a world-leading pet services organisation that specialises in luxurious boarding and pet transport for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, bearded dragons, and other pets.

As a long-standing member of IPATA (International Pet and Animal Transportation Association), Keringa-Petwings has been in operation and setting the benchmark in exceptional pet care for over 50 years.

Keringa-Petwings officially opened in March 1973, but its story began long before that. It all started with a stray dog who arrived at our founder’s house in Johannesburg and refused to leave. Our founder named him Negra, and as responsible pet owners do, 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 and became a reality when our founder located the perfect property, a 5-hectare smallholding not far from the airport.
During the heat of summer, he and his right-hand man, Daniel Molaiwa, built Block A (now our Canine Cabanas). They then built the rest of the kennels and catteries, the Forest Log Cabins, the clinic, and the Moggy & Beano kitchen.

Keringa-Petwings offers quality food, luxurious home-from-home accommodation, and loads of love and attention every single day of the year. Our
highly trained staff are chosen for their love of animals as well as their skills. Keringa-Petwings has been going the extra mile and providing all 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 so 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.
