All licensed kennels/catteries are subject to strict criteria, including size and structure of the units, the cleanliness of the premises, the exercise and interaction pets get and management of the pet’s food and/or medications. Here are a few things to check when looking into pet care.

Visit the premises:

Have a look at what they offer. Facilities can differ, and some may suit your pet better than others. If the premises is offering pick-up/drop-off services, ensure you have visited and seen where your pet will stay while you are away first. Premises should offer a trial to ensure your pet settles in for any longer stays.

You will be able to research on your local council’s website for approved options and feel safe in the knowledge that you have chosen a secure option for your pet during their time away from home. If councils do not have a list of licensed premises on their website then contact them for a list.

Please do make sure you look into every option for your pet, unlicensed pet businesses are likely to not be insured if anything happened to your pet during their stay. Unlicensed premises mean that in the event of a local authority or government inspector attending the premises operating without a license all pets there may be ceased. Everyone wants the best level of care for their pet while they are away, and the peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for.
