There are many online platforms advertising ‘dog boarders’ but many of these do not require proof that the person advertising is licensed or had checks completed. An unlicensed boarder may be cheaper, but a licensed boarder will have been checked by a qualified Animal Inspector. [2/3]
It's #LoveYourPetDay & we do love our pets! If you're going away this Easter & are looking for home boarding for your dog, protect your pooch by making sure you choose a licensed boarder: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/business/bus...
