What the star ratings mean
UK dog boarding operators are inspected and rated 1 to 5 stars under the Animal Activity Licensing framework. The rating reflects compliance at the time of inspection — covering accommodation, ventilation, emergency procedures, and staff training.
A 5-star Higher Standard rating indicates the operator meets the most demanding welfare criteria in the framework. A 4-star operator is fully compliant with some Higher Standard criteria met.
Ratings are not customer-satisfaction scores and they aren’t updated between inspections. See our star rating guide for the full breakdown and our Verification Score for our independent freshness measure.
