About dog day care in Havering
The day care listed in Havering includes a centre in Collier Row, two farms in Upminster, and people in Romford and Hornchurch who look after dogs in their own homes. Some of them will collect your dog from home.
Which licence to expect
Every dog day care needs a licence from the council. A centre or farm is licensed for day care, and that licence doesn't allow dogs to stay overnight. If someone looks after dogs in their own home, they're licensed for home boarding instead, even if your dog only goes for the day.
Checking the licence
Havering doesn't publish a list of licence holders, so look at the licence itself. It has to be on display where the dogs are looked after, and the business's website has to show the licence holder's name and licence number. The licence also shows a star rating from one to five, given after the council inspects, and an expiry date. If anything doesn't match, contact the council's licensing team through its website.
Before the first day
A day care centre has to check each dog before it joins, so expect an assessment first. Ask how the dogs are split into groups during the day.
