Choosing a kennels or cattery in Milton Keynes
All boarding kennels and catteries in England must hold an animal activity licence issued by the local authority under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018, so ask to see the current Milton Keynes City Council licence and its star rating. Providers should keep dogs and cats housed separately, maintain clean and heated accommodation, and follow written procedures for feeding, exercise and emergencies. Membership of bodies such as the Pet Industry Federation can indicate a commitment to recognised welfare standards.
What to check before you book
Most kennels and catteries require proof of up to date vaccinations, and many ask dogs for the kennel cough (bordetella) vaccine in addition to the core boosters. Confirm what the daily fee includes, how medication is administered, whether there is on-call veterinary cover, and the cancellation policy. Visiting in person lets you inspect the accommodation, meet the staff and check that the environment matches the description before leaving your pet.
Do kennels and catteries need a licence?
Yes. In England, boarding establishments for dogs and cats must be licensed by the local council under the 2018 licensing regulations and are inspected and given a star rating. You can ask any provider to show their current Milton Keynes City Council licence.
What vaccinations does my pet need before boarding?
Dogs usually need their core boosters plus the kennel cough vaccine, and cats need their core boosters, though requirements vary by provider. Check with the individual kennel or cattery and allow enough time before your stay, as some vaccines must be given a set number of days in advance.
