Dog boarding and day care in Dudley and Stourbridge, area by area

Dudley and Stourbridge's twelve listed dog boarders, day care providers and boarding kennels are spread across five areas, matched to postcode districts: Dudley & Sedgley (DY1-DY3), Tipton (DY4), Brierley Hill (DY5), Kingswinford (DY6) and Stourbridge (DY7, DY8). One of the five currently has no listed business.

Dudley & Sedgley (DY1-DY3)

Dudley & Sedgley has three listed businesses: Pet Comforts Hotel, a home boarder licensed by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, and Long Meadow Pet Resort and Woodfarm Boarding Kennels and Cattery, both boarding kennels with a cattery, near Himley, licensed by South Staffordshire Council rather than Dudley MBC despite the shared area name.

Tipton (DY4)

Tipton has one listed business, Tipton Tails, a home-based day care. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, which covers Tipton, publishes no online licence register, so Tipton Tails' own stated licence number could not be checked against a council source. A cattery-only business and a marketplace-only listing were also found for this postcode during research but are not shown here, since neither is an independently addressable dog boarding or day-care business.

Brierley Hill (DY5)

Brierley Hill currently has no listed business. The only Dudley MBC register entry for this postcode is a subcontractor working under a Stourbridge-listed business rather than an independent trading business, and no other named, addressable business was found for this area.

Kingswinford (DY6)

Kingswinford has three listed businesses: two home boarders, Doggy Dayz and Poppy's Pad, and one day care, Wagatails Dog Day Care, which runs from a purpose-built site with a heated indoor hall and three acres of outdoor space. Doggy Dayz and Poppy's Pad are licensed by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council; Wagatails is licensed by South Staffordshire Council.

Stourbridge (DY7, DY8)

Stourbridge has five listed businesses, the most of any area here: four home boarders, Mann's Dynamic Dogs, Pauls Pet Minders, Thirlmere House Dog Boarding and Wollaston Dog Walking, all licensed by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, and one boarding kennels and cattery, Iverley Lodge Boarding Kennels & Cattery, near Kinver, licensed by South Staffordshire Council.

Some DY postcodes sit outside Dudley borough

Himley, in the Dudley & Sedgley area, and Kinver, in the Stourbridge area, both carry a DY postcode but sit administratively in South Staffordshire district rather than Dudley borough. That is why Long Meadow Pet Resort, Woodfarm Boarding Kennels and Cattery and Iverley Lodge Boarding Kennels & Cattery, all near these two villages, are licensed by South Staffordshire Council rather than Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, even though their postcode sits under a Dudley-named area on this site.
