How do Costs Compare between Boarding Kennels and Home Boarding?

Due to the innovative service that we provide at Home from Home you might expect the costs to be considerably higher than a standard Dog kennels, but in-fact, despite the enhanced services we provide, the difference in costs are not significant, and in many cases we are considerably cheaper than some kennels.

A simple search of Google will show that there is a wide range of potential costs for putting your Dog in a Kennels, but in general costs seem to range between £10 and £50 a day. The highest standard boarding kennels or luxury dog hotels can often be higher still.

Some Kennels will also charge extra to give your dog heating or change the pricing dependent on the size or breed of dog.

At Home from Home we charge on a daily basis for your dog starting at £24 a day for 1 dog. If you want to Home more than one dog we also apply discounts for extra dogs, the discount for 5 dogs is nearly 50%.

We even have a handy tool on our website that will help you work out how much it will cost to board your dog - http://www.homefromhomedogboarding.com/how-much-will-it-cost. (Note: These costs are correct at time of posting and may have changed since this article was written, always check our Costs page for latest pricing.)

In addition, there are no hidden costs or extra fees to pay for our service, we do not charge a registration fee or mandate that we transport your dog to and from our carer's home for an additional charge as other agencies sometimes do.

The time that you leave or collect your dog doesn’t affect the costs either; we believe in giving you flexibility, so we charge by the calendar date and not by 24 hour periods, this means that you can drop your dog off earlier or later in the day to match flight times (although we ask that you organise this with your carer in advance). If you need to arrange transport for your pooch we can organise a collection and delivery service for a small additional charge.

Payment for using us is simple, there is a non-refundable deposit that must be paid once you confirm your booking this will also guarantee the carer that has been selected for your dog. This can be paid over the telephone by debit or credit card. You pay the balance directly to the carer when you deliver your dog, payment can be by cash or cheque depending on the preference of the carer.

Obviously like everything you “get what you pay for” – so if you want your dog to go to a Home where they will be treated like one of the family, with their own home comforts and without the stress of kennels but at a price that fits your budget then why not try Home Dog-boarding via Home From Home.
