Doggy daycare

Southbourne | Bournemouth | Christchurch

Our doggy day care is situated next to Southbourne beach, offering a warm and comfortable environment. Our goal is to provide your pup with a home away from home in a kennel and crate free environment.

Daycare you can rely on

We fully understand the importance of both human interaction and canine socialisation, so when it’s time to rest after a hard days play, we make sure all of our pups are in the company of both pooches and people, giving all the care, comfort, love and attention every pup deserves.

We endeavour to keep travel times in the taxi ride to a minimum; from the morning pick up, to the journey back home. We strongly believe that the primary focus should be on your pup's welfare, including outdoor exercise and dog socialisation, with appropriate periods of rest provided in safe and comfortable surroundings.

Pickups and drop-offs

There’s no need to worry if you are unable to bring your pup to day care, our taxi service is included as part of our day care package, where pick-up and drop-off is covered.

We strive to be as flexible as possible when it comes to your pups routine and your agenda, so we aim to adapt and create a schedule that fittingly works for you. Day care is open from 8:00am – 3:00pm Monday to Friday. Extra weekday hours and weekend daycare can be provided dependant on availability.

Collection times commence at 8:00am, and we aim to finish these by 9:00am. Collection times are always dependent on how busy the day is, as well as traffic and weather conditions; so we kindly ask for your patience, should we navigate beyond this timeframe.

Your pup's day

Morning and afternoon walks are structured in order to offer the benefits of training/doggy etiquette, playful fun and socialisation; making sure what’s taught at home doesn’t go amiss at daycare. We also vary our morning walks and lunch walks in order to keep our pups stimulated.

Walks and daycare are supervised by our carers, and all new staff members will always be chaperoned while training.

If your pup requires breakfast, lunch, dinner or has special dietary requirements, we are more than happy to feed your pup accordingly, at no extra cost.

We want all pups in our pack to be pack dogs to be safe and healthy, which is why we ask that all dogs are up-to-date with their vaccinations prior to joining.
