Websites for boarding kennels
Web design for boarding kennels: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Owners feel guilty. Show the actual kennels and the licence rating.
An owner booking kennels is picturing their dog confused and abandoned, and looking for evidence that it will not be like that. Photographs of the actual accommodation matter enormously.
They are also booking around a holiday, so availability on specific dates and a straightforward booking process decide where they go.
What your customers want answered
- Do you have space on my dates and what does it cost
- What are the kennels actually like, and how much exercise
- What vaccinations do you require
- Can I visit before booking
- What is your licence rating
Publish the licence and star ratingBoarding dogs or cats is a licensable activity, with licences issued and star-rated by the local council against national standards. Displaying your licence and rating is checkable proof of conditions, and far more persuasive than describing your facilities as excellent.
Photographs of dogs, not kennels
Happy dogs in a field could be anywhere. Owners want to see the sleeping quarters, the runs and the exercise area, and a business unwilling to show them raises exactly the question it is trying to avoid.
Show where dogs stay
Real photos of kennels, beds, heating and exercise areas, and a description of the daily routine, reassure owners leaving their dog for the first time. Say how you handle special diets and medication.
Requirements and booking
Explain the vaccinations required and how to show proof, your licence and star rating if applicable, prices per night with any discounts for longer stays, and what to bring. Say how far ahead to book for school holidays and Christmas, as these dates fill first.
Care while owners are away
Explain how you care for each dog: feeding their own food if preferred, medication, exercise, play and settling in nervous dogs. Say whether dogs from the same household can share and whether you take puppies or older dogs.
Owners like updates, so mention if you send photos. Explain drop-off and collection times, what to bring and how you handle illness during a stay, including which vet you use. A trial overnight stay can reassure first-time boarders.
