LICENSED DOG BOARDERS & HOME STAYS KENT

Read all about Doggy Swimming and where you can do it in Kent >>

If you are paying for the services of a boarder or doggy daycare away from the dog's own home, the provider must have a license with their local council.
Pet Sitters and Home stays day or night in the pet(s)' own home are not regulated in the same way but you would expect the Pet Sitter to have insurance, pet first aid and DBS check.

WHAT IS HOOPERS?!

Hoopers is fast and fluid where dogs get to negotiate a course of hoops, barrels and tunnels whilst the handler directs them at distance.

Distance handling upskills the human/canine partnership whilst 'lower impact' and generally safer by avoiding jumps, tight turns and heights. Great for junior and senior dogs as well as handlers with limited physical fitness - your dog does the hard work! Big dogs, small dogs, any breed of any age can enjoy Canine Hoopers. Come and join the fun!
