How much do dog kennels in Norwich charge?

Each kennel sets its own price, so there is no single Norwich kennel rate. Many quote per dog per day, some offer a lower rate for two dogs sharing, and some only quote on request. Ask two or three licensed kennels in and around the city for a written total for your exact dates, and ask what it includes: walks, medication, any bank holiday supplement and the deposit.

Do small dog kennels in Norwich cost less?

Sometimes. Some kennels price by size and some charge one rate per dog, so ask. A small dog does not automatically mean a smaller bill. With a home boarder, ask whether the rate changes for a small dog or for a second dog from your household, and whether there are larger dogs in the house that your dog would share space with.

What is private dog boarding in Norwich?

It usually means your dog stays in someone's home instead of a kennel block, often as one of very few guests. That is how Petme home boarding works. The questions to ask are practical: where your dog sleeps, how many other dogs are there, how long it is left alone, and where the walks go. Norwich has Waterloo Park and Mousehold Heath among its green spaces, so a sitter in Thorpe Hamlet or near the Golden Triangle may already have a regular route. Whichever way you go, visit first. The PDSA advises inspecting boarding premises in person rather than relying on a website, and warns against leaving vaccinations, especially kennel cough, to the last minute. Our page on pet sitter vs dog boarding lays out the trade-offs.

How do I check a Norwich boarder's licence?

In England, boarding dogs in kennels and providing home boarding for dogs as a business are both licensable under The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. The licence comes from the local council, so in the city that is Norwich City Council, while a kennel out in the county is licensed by its own district council. Every licence carries a star rating, and five is the highest. Ask to see it. Our home boarding licence guide explains what the rules cover. Petme also has the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs.
