Essential Membership for Small Dogs — 30 Boarding Days at ₹11,111
Built specifically for Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Beagle and small Indie dogs. One yearly fee covers 30 cage-free boarding days, 4 swimming splash sessions, 1 grooming, socialisation training, daily WhatsApp updates and home-cooked food at every stay.
Every Benefit Inside the Essential Plan
The Essential tier is the smallest plan but it is not a stripped-down plan. Every benefit listed below is fully included for the full 12 months of your membership.
30 Cage-Free Boarding Days
Use any way you want — single nights, weekends, week-long holidays — within 12 months. No cages, no kennels, your small dog stays in shared rooms with the resident pack.
4 Swimming Splash Sessions
Supervised dips in the small-dog-safe shallow zone of our pool. Great for summer cooling and gentle exercise. Sessions are 15–20 minutes each.
Socialisation Training
Structured group sessions covering food manners, leash etiquette, recall and confidence around larger dogs. Critical for small breeds that often miss out on dog-to-dog skills.
1 Professional Grooming
One full grooming session in the year — bath, blow-dry, sanitary trim, ear-clean, nail-grind. Perfect for keeping Shih Tzu and Pom coats healthy between owner brushings.
Home-Cooked Food at Every Stay
Rice, chicken, vegetables, curd — adjusted for your dog's portion size. No commercial kibble. Personalised if your dog has allergies or sensitivities.
Daily WhatsApp Photo Updates
You receive at least one photo update every day your dog stays. For nervous owners of small breeds, this is the difference between a calm trip and a worried one.
Which Small Breeds Fit the Essential Plan
We size memberships by adult weight, energy level and grooming load — not just by name. Below is the typical Essential cohort.
Shih Tzu
Mat-prone coat — annual grooming covers one full reset.
Pomeranian
Double coat. Swim sessions kept short to protect coat.
Beagle
High prey drive — socialisation training included is critical.
Pug
Heat-sensitive. Pool dips and shaded mid-day rest help.
Dachshund
Back-care: no jumping zones, slow ramps used during stays.
Lhasa Apso
Coat care + ear cleaning bundled into the grooming session.
Maltese / Toy Poodle
Single-coat dogs — fast drying after pool sessions.
Small Indie / Mix
Most adaptable breed for the plan — strong fit.
Cavalier KCS
Affectionate, social — thrives in shared-room boarding.

Essential Plan FAQs
Which breeds qualify as 'small dogs' under the Essential Membership?
Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Beagle, Lhasa Apso, small Indie mixes, Pug, Dachshund, Maltese and similar dogs under roughly 12 kg adult weight. We confirm eligibility during the trial visit.
Is the Essential Membership cheaper than per-night boarding?
Yes. Per-night small-dog boarding at Neolokam is around ₹600–₹800. Thirty nights at the standard rate works out to ₹18,000–₹24,000. Essential at ₹11,111 saves a small-dog owner roughly ₹7,000–₹13,000 a year, plus includes a grooming session, swim sessions and training that would be billed separately.
Can I split the 30 days into single-night stays?
Yes. Use one night, three nights, two weeks — any combination — within 12 months from your start date. Most Essential members spread days across 6–10 short trips plus one longer holiday.
What if my small dog is reactive around larger dogs?
We assess this in the mandatory trial visit. Small reactive dogs are placed in compatible groups, never forced into large-dog play. Socialisation training included in the plan helps reduce reactivity over the year.
Is the trial visit charged extra?
The mandatory trial visit is a separate small charge. It is not deducted from your 30 days because no membership is started until the trial passes.
