What drives dog boarding prices in Arun
The £26–£35 spread across 22 licensed operators in Arun reflects real differences in service, facilities, and licensing tier — not arbitrary pricing. Star rating is the most useful indicator of welfare standards under the Animal Activity Licensing scheme — and it’s largely independent of price.
Expect to pay 15–25% more during peak periods (school holidays, Christmas/New Year, August bank holiday week). Most kennels in Arun book out 3–6 months ahead of Christmas, so the cheapest options listed below are often the first to sell out. Boarding more than one dog? Many operators offer multi-dog discounts.
