#Mud Happens

And That’s When the Fun Begins!

At Bruce’s, mud isn’t a dirty word…We believe that a little mud is all part of the adventure. Dogs love to run, roll, and explore – rain or shine – and for those that don’t, we have just the spot for a cosy Bruce’s snooze! Our expert team knows exactly how to make tails wag safely, even during the muddiest of days.

But why is mud so magic?

Dogs don’t just tolerate mud – they thrive in it. From sensory exploration and instinctual behaviour to immune-boosting effects and stress relief, muddy play offers a surprising, enriching range of physical and psychological benefits.

Curious how splashing in puddles can help your dog grow smarter, calmer, and healthier? Read our deep dive into the world of muddy adventures.

Bruce’s Principles of Dog Enrichment

Muddy play is a natural and enriching experience for dogs, engaging their senses and sparking curiosity. The different textures, smells, and sensations of mud encourage exploration and stimulate the mind, offering a perfect blend of physical and mental activity. It’s a chance for dogs to be fully themselves – digging, splashing, rolling, and playing freely. Over our years of working with these furry friends, we’ve refined our enrichment approach around key principles: Sparks the Mind, Unlocks the Senses, Enriching Playtime, Learn Social Skills, and Satisfy Instincts – each one helping dogs thrive in body and spirit.

Daily Cleaning

With mud, comes the clean up. Strict daily cleaning routines are all part of the fun for us to ensure any evidence of muddy play gets washed away. Our centres, particularly high footfall and indoor areas enjoy a thorough clean down, inside and out.

Bedding, towels and blankets will also get a spruce up in our on-site washing machines and our bespoke doggy buses are kept in tip-top shape ready for their next day of collections and drop-offs.

Warm Rinse

And it’s not just our centres that get a good wash down. After a day of adventures, every dog receives a warm, hometime rinse, so they go home fresh, happy and mud-free. That way, our pet pawrents don’t have to worry about any mess or clean-up, they can cuddle up on the settee with their dog, who’ll definitely be enjoying a #brucessnooze!
