Licence conditions for every pen. Every day.

Your booking system handles reservations and payments. Nobody handles the compliance trail the licensing authority checks: boarding records, vaccination verification, daily care logs, exercise records, licence conditions. KennelPad handles all of it.

5,800

Licensed boarding establishments in England. Every one must meet the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. The licence conditions are extensive and inspected.

Star rating

Boarding establishments receive a star rating (1-5) from the local authority. Higher ratings mean longer licence periods. Poor compliance means annual inspections and licence risk.

Vaccinations

Every animal boarded must have current vaccinations verified on arrival. Missing vaccination checks are a licence condition breach and a disease risk.

Without KennelPad

  • Boarding records kept in a paper diary with minimal detail
  • Vaccination certificates checked on arrival but not recorded systematically
  • Daily care logs completed inconsistently across kennel staff
  • Exercise records not maintained despite being a licence condition
  • Licence inspection preparation takes days of scrambling

With KennelPad

  • Digital boarding record per animal with owner details, vet contact, and special requirements
  • Vaccination verification logged per animal per stay with certificate upload
  • Structured daily care records per pen: feeding, cleaning, health observations
  • Exercise log per animal per day. Licence condition met and evidenced
  • Licence inspection self-assessment with evidence from live data

Nine features. One subscription.

No. Your booking system handles reservations and payments. KennelPad handles the compliance documentation your booking system does not touch: boarding records, vaccinations, daily care, and licence prep.

Does it cover catteries too?

Yes. KennelPad works for kennels, catteries, and combined establishments. The care templates adapt to the animal type.

Can kennel staff use it?

Yes. KennelPad is mobile-first. Record care activities on your phone in the kennel throughout the day.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.
