Discover a world of dog happiness

At Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, we know your dog is more than just a pet, they’re family. That’s why we make their safety, happiness, and well-being our number one priority.

Dogs thrive on companionship, stimulation, and play. As social animals, they need regular interaction to stay happy and healthy, and that’s exactly what we provide.

We carefully group dogs by size, personality, and play style to ensure a safe and fun environment for everyone. Our specially designed fields keep minds active and tails wagging all day long!

Because our dogs join us regularly, they’re always surrounded by familiar, friendly faces, building strong bonds and a real sense of belonging.

Puppy Preschool

The perfect environment for puppies to learn and develop key social skills.

Hide & Treat

A bit of a brain and body workout. Dogs follow their nose around a scented obstacle course and forage for treats.

Sniffing Safari

An exciting space designed to allow dogs to put their sniffing and foraging skills to the test in a natural way.

Tiny Town

Designed with smaller paws in mind, this space is perfect for enrichment and socialising with your little buddies.

Curiosity Corner

Every dog is different, this space allows dogs to discover what makes their tail wag.
