We found two Warwickshire dog daycare centres we could verify: each has its own website, a Google Maps listing and a licence we could see, either on a council register or quoted by number on the centre’s own site. We haven’t visited any of them. Daycare is a licensed activity, so ask to see the licence before you book, and treat this as a shortlist to meet.

Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps on 12 November 2026 and come from the public. We haven’t checked them independently.
Listings we left out, and why
Dog Club Leamington Spa (4.9 from 44) has a website that returned an error to our tools, and Google lists it as a dog walker. Hunscote Kennels’ website describes boarding only, with a Stratford licence number. Doggy Mad Day Care in Honiley is on Warwick District Council’s home boarding list but has no website that we could find. Fat Dog and Friends (5.0 from 13) and Wag Pals have no website that we could find. High Paw Boarding in Kenilworth (5.0 from 2) and Petite Paws Daycare in Harbury (5.0 from 2) have fewer than eight reviews. Bruce’s Doggy Daycare (Tanworth-in-Arden) and Nik’s Doggy Day Care are on Stratford’s list, but we haven’t checked them against a website and Google Maps listing, so they aren’t listed here. Go Out Paws, which covers Kenilworth, is licensed by Coventry and is in our West Midlands guide. Cofastre, Glebe Farm and the other kennels and catteries that come up in Warwickshire searches are boarding businesses, and we found no daycare evidence for them. We couldn’t find registers for Nuneaton and Bedworth or North Warwickshire, so some licensed centres in those areas may be missing here. We didn’t assess Rover hosts. A centre being left out doesn’t mean it is unlicensed. It means we couldn’t see the proof, so ask it.
Other options we could not licence-verify
These Warwickshire businesses offer daycare and have their own website and a Google Maps listing, but the licence we could see is a home-boarding or boarding licence, or none we could tie to daycare, so we do not recommend them as verified. Ratings are from Google Maps on 12 November 2026. We have not visited them. Ask each for its licence, what it covers, who issued it and its expiry date before booking.
Meadow Kennels
★★★★★ 4.8 · 59 Google reviews
Atherstone on Stour, near Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37)
Its website mentions a “Doggie Day Care” and shows 19/00875/ANILIC with no council named. Stratford-on-Avon’s star ratings list (30 October 2024) shows Meadow Kennels, Atherstone, as Boarding with 3 stars, which is not daycare evidence. Ask whether the licence covers daycare

PawesomeK9
★★★★★ 5.0 · 44 Google reviews
Old Arley, North Warwickshire (CV7)
Its website offers home-based daycare from 7am to 7pm but shows no licence number and names no council. We couldn’t find North Warwickshire’s register. Ask for the licence and what it covers

Paws and Claws Care
★★★★★ 5.0 · 31 Google reviews
Kenilworth (CV8)
Warwick District Council’s list shows Paws and Claws Care under home boarding (AB67/24, expiring 6 May 2027), which is not daycare evidence. Its website advertises dog walking, daycare and boarding but shows no licence details. Ask whether the licence covers daycare

Little Paws Kenilworth
★★★★★ 5.0 · 10 Google reviews
Kenilworth (CV8)
Warwick District Council’s list shows Little Paws under home boarding (AB40/24, expiring 31 December 2027), which is not daycare evidence. Its website blocks our tools, so we couldn’t read what it offers. Ask whether the licence covers daycare

Playful Precious Paws
★★★★★ 5.0 · 82 Google reviews
North Warwickshire (CV7)
Its website footer shows “NWBC/9624” but names no council, star rating or expiry, and we couldn’t find North Warwickshire’s register to check it. Google lists it as pet boarding and it looks like a home-based business, so we can’t tie the number to daycare. Ask who issued the licence, what it covers and its expiry date
Daycare Monday to Saturday, drop-off from 7.30am and collection up to 6pm, from £30 a day for one dog, per its website

How to check a daycare licence in Warwickshire
In England, dog daycare run as a business needs a licence from the local council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. Warwickshire has five district and borough councils: Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth, and North Warwickshire. We read Warwick’s licence list (it shows numbers, stars and expiry dates, but no register date), Stratford’s star ratings list (dated 30 October 2024, with no numbers or expiry dates) and Rugby’s register of licensed kennels and catteries. We couldn’t find public registers for Nuneaton and Bedworth or North Warwickshire, so ask those councils directly. The stars are the council’s own optional rating. Ask each centre to show its licence, number and expiry date, then ask how many dogs it takes at once, how dogs are separated and what happens if your dog needs a vet.
A first day at daycare can be a lot for a sensitive dog. A calming bite is a complementary feed some owners use around change, and if your dog struggles with being left, speak to your vet or a qualified behaviourist first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How did you choose these Warwickshire dog daycare centres?
Each has its own website, a Google Maps listing and a licence we could see, either on a council register or quoted by number on its own site. We checked Google Maps on 12 November 2026 and read the registers we could open. We haven’t visited any of them, so meet any centre first.
Does dog daycare need a licence in Warwickshire?
In England, daycare run as a business needs a council licence under the 2018 regulations. In Warwickshire that is the district or borough council where the centre is: Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth, or North Warwickshire. Ask to see the licence, its number and its expiry date.
What should I ask a dog daycare centre?
Ask for the licence, its number and expiry date, how many dogs attend at once, how dogs are grouped, who is on site, and what happens if a dog is unwell.
Why are some well-reviewed centres missing?
We only list as verified the centres where we could see a licence and that clearly offer daycare. Some have only a home-boarding licence, some have no website we could find, and we couldn’t find registers for two of the five councils. Businesses with only a home-boarding or boarding licence, or none we could see, are in the ‘Other options we could not licence-verify’ section instead.
