Dog boarding and day care in Norwich, area by area
Norwich's dog boarders, day cares and kennels are unevenly spread across its eight areas. Two have no dedicated business of their own at all, and Wymondham — a self-contained small town in its own right rather than a Norwich suburb — has more than any other area.
By area
| Area | Businesses |
|---|---|
| Wymondham | 4 |
| Hellesdon, Mile Cross & New Catton | 3 |
| Norwich city centre & Thorpe Hamlet | 2 |
| Costessey & New Costessey | 2 |
| Thorpe St Andrew | 1 |
| Taverham & Drayton | 1 |
| Golden Triangle & Eaton | 0 |
| Sprowston | 0 |
Wymondham: the biggest concentration
Four of Norwich's 13 listed businesses are based in the Wymondham area: Poocheria Pet Care Services, K9 Keepers, Lime Liegh Boarding Kennels & Cattery and Arthur's Doggo Daycare. This is likely because Wymondham has its own supply of local demand as a small town in its own right, rather than relying on trade from Norwich city centre.
Hellesdon, Costessey and the areas with just one
Hellesdon, Mile Cross & New Catton has three: Viv & Chris @ Feathers, Barking Mad Norwich and Norfolk Home Boarding for Dogs, all home boarders. Costessey & New Costessey has two: Buffy's Buddies and Sallys Dogs R Us. Thorpe St Andrew has one, Irene's K9 Care, and Taverham & Drayton has one, DOGJOGS.
Norwich city centre, and the two areas with none
Norwich city centre & Thorpe Hamlet has two businesses on paper, Petpals Norwich and We Love Pets Norwich, but both are multi-area franchises rather than dedicated city-centre operators, covering a wide ring of suburbs from the same listing. Golden Triangle & Eaton and Sprowston have no dedicated business of their own at all; both are covered only by the same two franchises, so a search based there will usually turn up a business technically based somewhere else in the town.
Why this matters
If your own area has no dedicated business, the two multi-area franchises are the most likely to reach you, and a search for dog boarding plus your specific area, rather than just Norwich, will usually find what's genuinely local to you faster than a town-wide search. See the choosing guide for how the three licensing councils' boundaries line up with these areas.
Because none of Norwich's three councils publishes an online register (see our council licences guide), a business's area here comes from its own website, a directory listing or, for the two franchises, the franchise's own coverage page — not from a council address field the way it can in a town with a working register. If you're comparing two businesses in different areas, it's worth checking each one's own site for the area it actually covers, since a franchise's stated boundary can be broader than the single area it's listed under here. The prices guide and the vaccinations and licences guide apply equally across every area listed above.
