🐶LICENSED BOARDING & DAYCARE 🐶

I thought i would write a piece on licensed boarding , what it means , what you should expect and how to find a licensed carer for your dog.

I felt it was a good time to do this after a couple of bad experiences I’ve personally been involved with recently, causing dogs to be seriously at risk of loosing their lives or serious harm 😩
I wanted to explain how it works and what we should expect when finding paid care for our dogs.

To put it simply , anyone offering to care for your dog either during the day or overnight in their own home must by law be licensed.
This license is gained from their local council and is an in-depth look at if someone is suitable to care for dogs in their own home or a commercial setting.

A physical inspection takes place as well as the person applying submitting a whole heap of policies/ procedures and proof that they are deemed capable enough to provide the service your dog deserves.
The council inspector will look over the potential carers property and outside space and make a decision based on their findings and advise of any changes that need to be made to meet their strict criteria.
Once a licence is granted ( it will be for 1,2 or 3 years and with a star rating ) the carer can offer their services.
Anyone offering daycare or boarding must by law add their licence number to their advert/ website or social media.

As an owner you MUST ask the question - ARE YOU LICENSED ?

🐾 Ask to see the license ( it’s a physical piece of paper!)
🐾Ask them to show you their insurance certificate ( no license no insurance !!)
🐾 Ask to see their first aid certificate and dog related qualifications
🐾 Ring the council and ask them to validate the person you are considering
🐾 Have a look at their social media / website

Even if your chosen person is through a third party for example ROVER ,BARK HOLIDOG ,GUDOG & PAWSHAKE they MUST still have their own license, just because they have signed up means absolutely nothing !! These companies do not do their due diligence unfortunately

Who says small dogs and bigger dogs can't be friends? Well socialised dogs get on with dogs of all sizes! Little Rosie has been in daycare since she was about 4 months old and due to our programe in which we only promote coexistence and not constant play means she's a stable, well socialised pup. And now her and Maisy are best friends and play so well together ❤️
