Bruce’s Community

Community is at the heart of everything we do at Bruce’s. We’re passionate about creating meaningful connections, not just with our four-legged friends, but with their humans too. That’s why we love opening our doors to welcome dog parents into our centres, giving them a chance to experience the magic behind the scenes.

Parent Days

Our Much-Anticipated Annual Parents’ Day

A fun-filled celebration dedicated to our amazing dog parents and their beloved pups. It’s a special opportunity for our loyal customers to step into their dog’s world and spend a joyful day together at our doggy daycare.

From exciting enrichment activities and interactive games to behind-the-scenes tours and staff meet-and-greets, the day is designed to strengthen the bond between dogs and their humans. It’s all about creating memories, sharing laughs, and celebrating the unique community we’ve built—one wagging tail at a time.

Reuniting Rescue Dogs

We launched #WellnessWeek2025 at Bruce’s in the most special way, by bringing together an unforgettable reunion of extraordinary dogs who once struggled on the streets of Thailand.
