Looking for somewhere safe and comfortable to board your dog near Kirkby? Qualco Kennels is based on Blythe Lane in Lathom, around 12 miles from Kirkby town centre. The drive takes about 20 minutes, mostly along the M58 heading towards Ormskirk. It's a quick, easy motorway run with barely any traffic to deal with outside of rush hour.
We regularly welcome dogs from Kirkby, Simonswood, Melling and the surrounding area. Quite a few of our Kirkby customers first came to us because they wanted somewhere a bit more rural and peaceful for their dogs to stay, and they keep coming back year after year.
We've been looking after dogs here at Qualco since 1965, so we've had plenty of practice getting things right. Every dog gets their own clean, secure kennel with an individual outdoor run, and daily walks are part of the routine. We specialise in small to medium-sized breeds, though all well-behaved dogs are welcome.
Our kennels are set in a quiet, rural spot in Lathom, surrounded by open countryside. It's a world away from the bustle of town, which helps even the most anxious dogs settle in quickly. We take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel at ease from the moment they arrive.
We're open every day of the week for drop-offs and collections. Monday to Saturday, you can come between 9am and 12:30pm or 3pm to 5pm. On Sundays, we're here from 10am to 12:30pm and again from 3pm to 5pm. Want to pop over and see the place before booking? Just give us a call and we'll sort out a time that suits you.
Alongside Kirkby, we look after dogs from all over Merseyside and West Lancashire. We have regular guests from Ormskirk, Skelmersdale, Prescot, Crosby, and plenty of places in between. No matter where you're travelling from, you'll find a warm welcome here.
Want to book a stay for your dog, or just have a quick question? Give us a ring and we'll be happy to chat.
