Low Hockett Kennels

Low Hockett Kennels is licensed by Northumberland County Council for dog boarding. The council's most recent inspection awarded it 2 stars out of 5.

The published licence expiry date, 7 July 2026, has passed. Renewals are routine and councils are often slow to publish them, so this usually means the register is behind rather than that the business is unlicensed — but it is worth asking about.

We found no entry for this business on the ICO register of fee payers. That is common for sole traders and is not necessarily a failing, but a business holding your address and door key would normally be expected to be registered.

Under the star rating scheme a 2-star operator qualifies for a licence of up to 1 year and correspondingly fewer unannounced inspections, so the rating affects how often the council will look in as well as what it thought at the last visit.

Northumberland County Council does not publish an address for this licence. That is standard for businesses operating from a residential address and does not indicate anything about the business — contact details are usually on its own website or through the council.

We have not been able to identify a website for Low Hockett Kennels. Many licensed operators of this size trade through word of mouth, a marketplace profile, or a social media page rather than a site of their own.

We last read Northumberland County Council's register 4 months ago, so treat the expiry date in particular as indicative rather than current.

Licence record

This page reproduces factual entries from public registers. It is not a review, a recommendation, or an endorsement, and we have no commercial relationship with the businesses listed. Council star ratings are the licensing authority's assessment of risk and compliance, not a measure of service quality. If anything here is wrong or you would like your entry removed, see our privacy page — we act on requests without argument.

• Local authority animal activity licence registers — English local authorities. Factual fields extracted from each council's published public register: trading name, licence number, licensable activity, star rating and expiry date. Where a council redacts an address — as they routinely do for home boarders operating from a residential address — the record is kept without a location and never geolocated by inference.
