Watford town centre has none
Watford town centre & West Watford (WD17, WD18) is the one area on this page with no listed business at all. This reflects where this round's phone-verified research actually found licensed operators, not a claim that nobody boards dogs there: the area's nearest coverage is Oxhey & South Oxhey and North Watford & Garston, both a short distance away.
Kings Langley and Rickmansworth & Chorleywood
Kings Langley's five businesses are Canine Karma Resorts, a kennels requiring an assessment before booking; Kings Langley Dog Boarding, licensed by Dacorum rather than Three Rivers; and the home boarders Scruffs to Crufts, Dogsbody and D's Pryme Paws. Rickmansworth & Chorleywood's three are the day care Home from Home Doggy Day Care and the home boarders The Dogs Residence and Liz Townsend Home Boarding & Day Care for Dogs.
North Watford & Garston, Oxhey & South Oxhey, Croxley Green
North Watford & Garston's two are National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire, the rescue charity kennels on Tylers Way, and the home boarder Pug & Little Paws Boarding. Oxhey & South Oxhey's two are the home boarders The Pet Guardian and Walk, Sit & Stay. Croxley Green's two are the home boarders Whiskers Feathers & Fur and Paws for Thought.
Bushey & Bushey Heath, Abbots Langley
Bushey & Bushey Heath has one listed business, We Love Pets Bushey, a home boarding and day-care franchise branch. Abbots Langley also has one, Verulam Farm Kennels and Cattery, a traditional kennels and cattery near Bedmond.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's address, or for a home boarder its stated locality, sits in. 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
Several of Rickmansworth & Chorleywood's and Croxley Green's postcodes overlap around WD3, so a business shown under one of these areas may cover both; ask directly if you are unsure which side of the boundary your address falls on, or whether a business in a neighbouring area also reaches you.
