Dog boarding and day care in Ashford and Tenterden, area by area
Ashford Borough Council's area covers four postcode areas in this directory's coverage, and the ten dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses listed here are spread unevenly across them. The Ashford Villages and Wye area holds half of them; Ashford North and Kennington has only one.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Ashford Villages and Wye | 5 |
| Tenterden | 3 |
| Ashford | 1 |
| Ashford North and Kennington | 1 |
Ashford Villages and Wye
This area's five businesses are the boarding kennels Haven Boarding Kennels & Cattery and Ransley House Kennels and Cattery, the day care Lizzie's Dog School and Daycare, and the home boarders Brook Farm Home Boarding and By the Bridge Home Dog Boarding.
Tenterden
Tenterden's three businesses are the boarding kennels The Dog Lodge and Courtfield Kennels & Cattery, plus the day care Tails of the Lake, built around its own private lake in Woodchurch.
Ashford and Ashford North and Kennington
Ashford town has one listed business, the home boarder Ashford Pet Care, run by Suzie. Ashford North and Kennington has one, We Love Pets Ashford, the local branch of a national franchise covering Ashford, Kingsnorth, Charing, Challock, Shadoxhurst and Pluckley.
Why Ashford North and Kennington is thin
Only one licensed business could be confirmed with a working phone number specifically for the Ashford North and Kennington postcode area; a second register entry for that area, under a personal name with no public trading presence found, wasn't recorded here. If you're based in Ashford North and Kennington, it's worth also checking the Ashford and Ashford Villages and Wye listings above, both a short drive away.
How these areas were worked out
Ashford Borough Council's own register mirror lists a licence type but not an address, so an area shown here comes from a business's own website or another public source that gave a specific location, not from the register itself. That's also why not every licensed business found in research is shown here: some had no public source giving enough of a location to place them in one of the four areas, and publishing a guessed location isn't something this directory does. Every business shown also has a confirmed phone number, so the counts above only include businesses that could actually be reached.
If you're near the edge of an area
Ashford's four areas follow postcode groupings rather than exact boundaries, so a business shown under one area may still be a short drive from a neighbouring one, including into Kent villages just outside this directory's four areas.
Postcode areas at a glance
Ashford town centre sits in TN23, Ashford North and Kennington in TN24, the Ashford Villages and Wye area in TN25, and Tenterden in TN26 and TN30. Several of the Ashford Villages and Wye businesses are actually based in outlying villages within that postcode area rather than in Wye itself — Lizzie's Dog School and Daycare is at Bilsington, and Ransley House Kennels and Cattery is at Mersham — which is worth knowing if you're judging distance from a specific address rather than from the area name alone.
