The kennel was designed specifically for the dogs as it has a flap door at the base of the main door of the room for the dogs to move in and out at will. They also get weekly baths on Saturday which has a designated area. It is also well-stocked with toys, chewies, feeding bowls, dog biscuits and a daily supply of boiled meat that comes from the kitchens at the Taj.
