Dog boarding and day care in Blackpool and the Fylde coast, area by area
Blackpool and the Fylde coast is covered here across seven areas. Thirteen businesses are listed in total, but they are not spread evenly: four of the seven areas have at least one listed business, and three currently have none.
Postcodes are shown alongside each area below so you can check which one covers your address; the seven areas between them cover FY1 to FY8.
Areas with a listed business
- Blackpool centre & South Shore (FY1, FY4) — 8 businesses: Westway Kennels & Daycare, Lindsey's Doggy Daycare, K9 Daycare, Gee's Doggie Daycare, Holly Wood Hounds, Balmoral Boarding Kennels & Cattery, Be Yappy and Alpha Pet Care.
- Lytham St Annes (FY8) — 2 businesses: Dog World Boarding and St Anne's Kennels & Cattery.
- Poulton-le-Fylde (FY6) — 2 businesses: Woofy Warehouse Doggy Day Care and Holidays for Dogs.
- Cleveleys & Thornton (FY5) — 1 business: Barking Mad Wyre and Fylde, which matches dogs with a host family across a wider Wyre and Fylde round rather than running one fixed site.
Areas with no listed business yet
- Blackpool north & Bispham (FY2) — no business based here is listed at the time of writing. Be Yappy and Alpha Pet Care, both based in the Blackpool area, state that their coverage extends to Bispham; ask directly whether either covers your address.
- Layton & Marton (FY3) — no business based here is listed at the time of writing.
- Fleetwood (FY7) — no business based here is listed at the time of writing. Be Yappy and Barking Mad Wyre and Fylde both state coverage extending to Fleetwood; ask directly before assuming either travels to your address.
Which council covers which area
The seven areas split across three councils, which matters if you want to check a licence yourself: Blackpool Council covers Blackpool centre & South Shore, Blackpool north & Bispham and Layton & Marton; Fylde Borough Council covers Lytham St Annes (and the Blackpool/Fylde border, which is why one Blackpool-area kennels is licensed by Fylde rather than Blackpool); and Wyre Council covers Cleveleys & Thornton, Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood. See our council licences guide for what each council's register actually shows.
Mobile coverage across areas
Several of the businesses based in one area state that they travel further than their own postcode: Be Yappy covers Blackpool, Poulton, Carleton, Thornton Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Lytham per its own site; Alpha Pet Care states coverage extending to Bispham, Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton; Barking Mad Wyre and Fylde covers Blackpool, Preston, Wyre, Fylde, Fleetwood and Lytham St Annes as a host-family matching service rather than a single premises. None of this is a guarantee for every postcode within those areas, so confirm directly with the business before booking rather than assuming coverage from a general statement.
