Dog boarding and day care in Preston, area by area
Preston's seven areas sit across five different councils, and this directory's sixteen dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses are spread unevenly across them. Preston city centre and Garstang between them hold half of the sixteen; three areas have only one business each.
| Area | Listed businesses |
|---|---|
| Preston city centre, Ashton-on-Ribble & Ingol | 4 |
| Garstang | 4 |
| Kirkham & Wesham | 3 |
| Bamber Bridge & Leyland | 2 |
| Fulwood & Grimsargh | 1 |
| Penwortham & Lostock Hall | 1 |
| Chorley | 1 |
Preston city centre and Garstang
Preston city centre, Ashton-on-Ribble & Ingol's four businesses are Mill House, a home boarder that also grooms; Frankies Doggy Daycare and Auntie's Doggie Day Care, both day cares; and We Love Pets Preston, a home boarding and dog-walking franchise. Garstang's four are the kennels Barton Boarding Kennels and Badgerswood Boarding Kennels and Cattery, the day care Willows Country Friends, and the home boarder Joanna's Animal Care.
Kirkham & Wesham, Bamber Bridge & Leyland
Kirkham & Wesham's three businesses are the kennels Landorn Kennels & Cattery and Fur Cottage Kennels & Cattery, plus the home boarder We Love Pets Lytham, which covers Warton and Freckleton. Bamber Bridge & Leyland's two are Auntie's Doggie Day Care, a day care, and Digs for Dogs - Leyland, a home boarder working through host families.
Fulwood & Grimsargh, Penwortham & Lostock Hall, Chorley
Each of these three areas has a single listed business: Cow Hill Kennels, Cattery and Day Care in Fulwood & Grimsargh, Danielle's Home Boarding and Doggie Day Care in Penwortham & Lostock Hall, and High Heyes Farm Kennels and Cattery in Chorley. Penwortham & Lostock Hall is thin because South Ribble Borough Council, which licenses that area, publishes no register to help find others; if you are based there, it is worth asking the council directly for its current list rather than assuming this is the whole market.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's address sits in, matching the same convention already used on this site's dog-grooming pages for Preston. Every business shown also has a confirmed phone number, so the counts above only include businesses that could actually be reached, not every name found in research.
If you're near the edge of an area
Preston's seven areas follow postcode districts rather than exact boundaries, so a business shown under one area may still be a short drive from a neighbouring one — Garstang, for example, covers PR3 addresses on both the Wyre and Ribble Valley sides as well as ones inside Preston City Council's own boundary. If a nearby area shows fewer businesses than you expected, it's worth checking the areas either side of it too.
