Services these establishments offer
Most kennels and catteries near Aylesbury take dogs and cats for overnight or longer stays, often covering holiday periods, weekends and short breaks. Typical facilities include individual heated suites, secure exercise areas and supervised feeding. Cat-only catteries keep boarders away from barking dogs, and many offer family pens so two or more cats from the same household can share. A number of sites also board small pets such as rabbits and birds when their usual carers are away. Many will administer prescribed medication, accommodate special diets and look after older or nervous animals, and some offer day boarding for owners who work long hours. If you also need grooming before or after a stay, see Dog Groomers in the area.
Licensing and what to check
Boarding establishments in England are licensed by the local council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018, so it is reasonable to ask to see the licence and its star rating when you visit. Cattery and kennel licences are issued separately, and small pet boarding can fall under the same scheme. It is also worth checking vaccination requirements, as most sites ask for proof of up to date vaccinations, including kennel cough cover for dogs, before admission. A pre-booking visit lets you see the suites or pens in person, ask how animals are exercised and settled, and confirm what happens if your pet needs a vet during its stay.
Costs and booking
Prices are typically charged per night and vary with the type of accommodation, the size of the animal and the time of year, with school holidays often busier and booked up early. As a guide, fees may be higher for larger dogs, for heated suites, or for a family pen shared by two or more cats, while small pet boarding is usually charged at a lower nightly rate. Booking ahead is sensible for peak periods. For owners who prefer their pet to stay at home, Dog Walkers & Sitters can be an alternative.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a kennel or cattery in Aylesbury?
Visit in advance where possible, check the council licence and star rating, look at how clean and secure the suites or pens are, and ask how animals are exercised, fed and settled. For cats, a quiet cat-only cattery away from dogs is often calmer. Reading recent reviews on the listings here can also help.
Can my cats share a pen?
Many catteries offer family pens so two or more cats from the same household can board together, which can be cheaper than separate units and less stressful for bonded cats. Confirm the maximum number per pen and the shared nightly rate when you book.
Do any sites board rabbits or birds?
Some establishments take small pets such as rabbits and birds alongside dogs and cats, usually in a separate quiet area. Availability is limited, so check the individual listing or contact the site directly before you travel.
What vaccinations does my pet need?
Most establishments ask for proof of up to date vaccinations before a stay, and dogs usually need kennel cough cover as well. Requirements can vary between cats, dogs and small pets, so check the individual listing or contact the site directly.
Are these kennels and catteries licensed?
Boarding establishments are licensed by the local council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018 and given a star rating. You can ask to see the licence when you visit, which is good practice before leaving your pet.
