A holiday is usually a great thing, but with a pet at home you’d love to take along but cannot, it can become both stressful and depressing. A few years ago, the process involved scouting for helpful friends and relatives who’d agree to take on the responsibility; people you could trust to care for your pet.

But as problems grow, so do their solutions. Today, the city offers a multitude of options to pet parents, which guarantee both peace of mind and trained professionals to ensure that your pet stays safe, happy and well groomed during your absence. Sonya Kochhar’s Canine Elite is one such option, and going by the testimonials it has received over the years, a very good one.

While it began as a boarding centre that took in strays in order to train, groom and cure them and then finds them new homes, Canine Elite has now grown into a full-fledged boarding and lodging home for dogs and cats.

From day-care facilities to long-term accommodations, the centre provides services that go beyond the basics, fast making Canine Elite the one-stop shop for owners who can afford a little luxury for their pets.

Regularly introducing innovative, experimental ideas to the mix, Canine Elite takes care of pets seriously, ensuring that their stay is not just enjoyable, courtesy a fully functional swimming pool and home cooked meals, but also an opportunity to ensure grooming and training with regular sessions for the duration of the stay.

Perhaps what has ensured the success of Canine Elite is the reason and motive behind its very existence. A place that understands the love and bond between a pet and his owner, it was launched by Sonya Kochhar, a dog lover herself, making it empathetic to the needs of the animal as well as the master. The space a pet needs, the personal care and attention it will crave during the absence of its owner, and the extras that Canine Elite offers, come together under one roof.

Today, on the list of facilities available at the centre are individual suites for dogs, a penthouse style cattery, swimming days on Sundays, expert groomers and a panel of experienced vets. And if transporting your pet is an issue due to distance or convenience, a 24 hours pet taxi service can pick up your pet and bring him or her to the centre.

Since it began as a home for stray dogs, Canine Elite has stayed close to its roots, ensuring that there is no discrimination between strays and pedigrees. They continue to work towards ensuring homes for strays and set up weekly adoption stalls for people looking to adopt stray puppies and older dogs.

Canine Elite also plays host to frequent birthday parties for pets, and also provides a personal touch by sending you pictures of your pet and arranging skype calls so that you can make sure your loved one is happy and healthy. While the charges are not exorbitant, they fall on the higher scale of affordable, but if you can manage to send your pet there, Canine Elite does ensure that your get your money's worth.
