We recognise that like us, dogs have needs that must be met for them to feel truly fulfilled.
That’s why, our Bruce’s Avon Valley centre servicing Bristol offers:
- A convenient doggy chauffeur bus service that ensures your dog travels in style to and from day care.
- Environmental, habitat, sensory and food-based enrichment to stimulate a dog’s mind.
- Spacious outdoor and indoor play areas for off-leash fun, encouraging exercise, having fun and helping them to learn new skills.
- Activities to accommodate different preferences, energy levels, sizes, and breeds.
- Dogs are grouped based on their size, temperament and play style to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Dog Enrichment Activities
Not all dogs wear capes but all dogs have superpowers! Our weekly enrichment is designed to nurture your dog’s natural abilities.
Our environmental, habitat, sensory and food-based enrichment zones encourage dogs to do dog things such as sniffing, chewing, foraging, rolling and playing, which helps to stimulate their minds and nurture their natural abilities.
We give dogs a fulfilling social life, a fun-packed daily calendar of bounding about and hanging out with their favourite furry friends. So, when they return home and flop down on their bed happy and exhausted, it’s clear they have had a blast!

Customer Reviews
Caring & Fantastic
“Louie, the border terrier, thoroughly loves his time at Bruce’s. He is well looked after and always comes home extremely tired! The service is excellent via the app and email; getting weekly photos of your dog’s time is a real plus. My dog chauffeur, Nick, is fantastic and caring. He always ensures Louie is picked up and dropped off with care and treats my home with the utmost respect. He shows a genuine interest in my dog’s care and day, and I completely trust him.” R Deol
