About
Small Paws Playdates & Home Boarding, based in Wickford, specialises in small-breed dogs and says it has experience with nervous and anxious dogs. Its published rates are £25 a day for weekday day care, £30 a night for weekday home boarding and £35 a night at weekends; dogs staying three nights or more are given a premium meal such as salmon or duck, per its own site. As a home boarder, only its area and town are given here; the address is given once you book. It is licensed by Basildon Borough Council for home boarding. The animal-licensing.uk mirror of the register shows a 5-star score for this licence, but Basildon's own site returns an error, so that star score is not shown here.
