Dog Boarding Near Kovalam — Neolokam Farm, 12 km Away
If you live near Kovalam beach and need a truly safe, cage-free place for your dog, Neolokam is 12 km away — a 20-minute drive through Vizhinjam road. Your dog boards on 1.5 open acres of farmland, not in a cage or a concrete kennel.
What Cage-Free Really Means at Neolokam
Many facilities near Kovalam advertise "cage-free" boarding but still keep dogs in small rooms or restricted runs. At Neolokam, cage-free means 1.5 acres of real agricultural farmland — soil under paws, trees for shade, water to swim in, and open trails to explore.
