Hounds provides the perfect balance of care, enrichment, and comfort for my pups. They love exploring the woodland surroundings and are always so well cared for by the dedicated staff. I couldn’t imagine a better place for them.

Our dog absolutely loves coming to Hounds Daycare for his half day sessions! He loves socialising with the other dogs and the staff are lovely and attentive. Could not recommend more!

Hounds is amazing 🧡 Our lab Newton has been coming here for a little over 6 months. He looks forward to his full day on a Monday every week. The staff are all so kind and loving to him, I know when I drop him off that he is in safe hands. Their communication is second to none.

All dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccinations, including rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella. Your dog does not need to be neutred however we do ask that they do not attend when in heat. All dogs must have a settling in session for both
Will my dog get individual attention?
Yes. Dogs spend time in small, carefully managed groups so our team can get to know each dog, monitor how they’re feeling and give them the individual care and attention they need throughout the day.
Will I recieve updates about my dog's day?
Absolutely! You’ll receive a daily report covering meals, naps, toilet breaks, activities, walks, general notes and which carer spent time with your dog, along with photos and videos from their day.
What if I’m worried my dog won’t cope with daycare?
Every dog is introduced at their own pace. We closely monitor how they’re feeling, gradually introduce them to the environment, carers and suitable dogs, and adjust their experience to help them feel safe, comfortable and confident.
