Dog boarding and day care prices in Shrewsbury
Prices are as the businesses published them when we last checked (September 2026). They can change without notice, so confirm them when you book.
Nine dog boarders and day cares are listed for Shrewsbury and rural Shropshire, and only one, Wags Day Care Shrewsbury, publishes a price on its own site. The other eight, including all three home boarders, quote once they know your dog's size, temperament and your dates, so the figures below are a single data point for the area rather than a full price list.
Published prices, September 2026
| Business | Service | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Wags Day Care Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury south and Meole Brace | Trial day-care session | £25 |
| Wags Day Care Shrewsbury | Field hire, per hour, up to 3 dogs | £15 |
Day care
Wags Day Care Shrewsbury's £25 charge is for a new dog's trial day-care session rather than its ongoing day rate, which is not published; ask what a regular day costs once the trial is done. Its £15-an-hour field hire, for up to three dogs, is a separate private booking rather than a day-care price, but it shows what land hire costs alongside the business's day-care service. Waggy Warehouse Shropshire, the other day-care-only business listed, does not publish a price of any kind.
Home boarding and kennels
None of Shrewsbury's three home boarders, House of Hounds, Maggie's Mutts and AristoDogz, publish a price for boarding or day care. Nor do the three boarding kennels, Fairfield Boarding Kennels & Cattery, Netley Boarding Kennels & Cattery and Lower Mill Boarding Kennels & Cattery, or Whitley Crest Boarding and Doggy Daycare, which runs boarding, day care and a cattery together. This is normal for the niche: a home boarder in particular usually prices around the length of stay, the number of dogs and how far it needs to travel, so have your dog's details and dates ready when you call.
What to ask
Since so few local prices are published, ask every business the same questions so you can compare the answers: the rate for one night or one day, whether a second dog from the same household costs less, whether bank holidays are charged at a higher rate, and whether collection or drop-off is included or charged separately. Neither of the published figures above covers such extras, so check the final total before you book.
