Do I need a licence to board dogs in Solihull?
If you regularly board dogs for payment in Solihull, you usually need a home boarding licence from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. Occasional daycare or walking does not, but check with the council before you host overnight dogs at any real scale.
When is dog boarding busiest in Solihull?
Dog boarding in Solihull peaks around Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays, when commuter families in areas like Knowle and Dorridge travel and need overnight cover. School half-terms and long bank holiday weekends add shorter bursts, so hosts who open their calendar early for these dates tend to fill the most nights.
