⚠️ DOG OWNERS PLEASE READ ⚠️

It has come to my attention that there are individuals locally offering dog daycare and boarding from their homes without holding the legally required licence.

Let’s be absolutely clear:

✅ Dog walking does not require a licence.

✅ Pet visits in your own home do not require a licence.

❌ Dog daycare in someone else’s home requires a licence.

❌ Dog boarding in someone else’s home requires a licence.

If someone is charging to care for dogs in their own home and does not hold the appropriate licence, they are operating illegally.

Dog owners should also be aware that if a provider is operating without the legally required licence, there is a significant risk that any insurance claim could be affected or rejected. Never assume that simply because someone says they have insurance, that you and your dog are fully protected. Always ask to see their licence and check that it is valid with the relevant local authority.

Licensed providers invest significant time, money and effort into meeting the standards required by local authorities. Properties are inspected, welfare standards are assessed, and businesses are expected to meet strict conditions before being granted a licence.

As dog owners, please do your homework. Check your local council’s licensing register before handing over your dog. It takes only a few minutes and could save a great deal of heartache.

If you are one of the individuals operating without the required licence, be under no illusion that people are aware of what is happening. Dog owners are asking questions, licensed businesses are asking questions, and concerns are being raised with the relevant authorities.

This is about protecting dogs and ensuring they are being cared for in safe, legal, inspected and accountable environments.

When dog care becomes a quick-money making scheme, your dogs are the ones who take the risk 🥺
