Our story

Looking after Pretoria's dogs and cats since 1976.

Welcome to Xantah Kennels & Cattery, where every guest is special.

For fifty years families have left their pets with us while they travel, move house or have the builders in. The gardens have grown up around the kennels, and the care has stayed the same: clean, spacious and personal.

Harry and his team know every guest by name. You'll get regular news while you're away, and maybe a little padkos for the trip home.

  • Loved like family

    Every dog and cat gets time, attention and play, not just a bowl and a bed.

  • Safe and secure

    Secure runs and a separate cattery, with a vet on the premises.

  • Room to breathe

    Big trees, lawns and shade, a long way from a concrete pen.

December is filling up.

December bookings are open and the rooms go quickly. WhatsApp us to secure a spot for your four-legged family member.
