Daycare, that feels like home.
Shropshire dog hotel - Dog Daycare
Our small group dog daycare is built around providing a safe, fun & happy environment for your dog.
Your dog’s welfare & happiness is our passion, so using our experience in dog behaviour & care we’ve structured our daycare to provide both physical & mental enrichment alongside providing the relaxation & rest your dogs needs to go home happy & fulfilled.
Our pack ranges from puppies to seniors, little to large and all those in between. Before joining us we take the time to get to know you, your pets & their needs, so we can ensure that we can provide home from home love & care.

We believe structure & routine is important to help your dog feel settled & comfortable, and so a typical day looks something like this…
Pack walk
We’re have eight miles of tracks & over 300 acres of land available for our pack walks, which include woodland, wildflower meadows & secret spring fed ponds for your dog to explore on or off lead.
Garden games & play
Our large secure garden is the perfect place for your dog to get settled and unwind after our walks. With areas set up for agility, scent games & even a doggy pond if they fancy a dip. We always supervise these group play sessions to ensure your dog is comfortable within the group, and to help settle any over excitement or over stimulation!
Rest & Relaxation
While your dog might love walks & play, we know that they also need the downtime to rest, relax and recoup which is why we have dedicated areas inside our home for your dog to decompress, either with their playmates or on their own. We have a range of beds, quiet corners & safe spaces for your dog to feel comfortable.
-
Our daycare is £25 a day per dog.
We accept cash or bank transfer and payment is due before your dog joins us.
-
We take on dogs from 16 weeks to their senior years, however for dogs under 12 months we adopt the following practices:
For puppies under 6 months we recommend 1-2 days a week maximum for daycare, and not on consecutive days. This is to give them time to rest & relax.
All puppies must be toilet trained. We take all our dogs out on a regular schedule, and while accidents do happen we do ask that your pup is able to relieve themselves outdoors on a regular schedule before joining us
-
Our daycare runs from 7am-6pm Monday - Friday.
We recommend drop off before 9:30am and collection between 3:30-6pm, this helps reduce disruption to the dogs during the day.
We are unable to offer half days, however if you are looking to arrange an early or late collection please get in touch and we can discuss options.
-
Unfortunately we are unable to accept intact (un-neutered) males, as we find that they don’t settle well within a pack that includes neutered males. Exceptions may be made to dogs under 12 months, however by this is on a dog by dog basis.
-
You are welcome to bring food for your dog if you’d like them to fed fed during daycare hours. We have a dedicated food storage area including fridge & freezer for raw food & a range of bowls including raised & slow feeds, all of which are cleaned and disinfected after use.
We feed all dogs separately and allow adequate time for the dog to digest before engaging in play or activity with the pack.
-
All staff members are trained in dog first aid & experienced with providing dog care.
Our intake form details any health needs or medications your dog may need, and we will administer these only with your consent.
-
We love to send photos and videos during the day of how your dog is doing, and any relevant updates on their health and well-being.
What our customers are saying about us…
Bruce
‘Our dog Bruce (Boston Terrier) stayed for just under a week and had a great time. He was well looked after and the outside area for the dogs is well maintained with plenty of things to do and the owners took very good care of him. They updated us with pictures and messages on his stay and he had a great time!’ (Review via google)
