Doggy day care with a difference

We combine passionate expertise and 15 years of experience setting professional standards in dog daycare.

And we’re always striving to learn more about dogs and to care for them better.

We’re fluent in dog. We go beyond ‘woof’ to a deep understanding of what makes each tail wag. Our expertise means that we allow dogs to be dogs, and everything we do is dog-first. Dogs are our moral compass.

Bruce Casalis

Bruce is a lifetime dog owner and dog lover. From his early days as a toddler found sleeping in a crate with the litter of puppies, Bruce has been genuinely passionate about dogs and dog welfare. Bruce lives in Surrey, with his wife and sons.

In 2008 Bruce decided to combine his passion for dogs with his tenacious spirit.  Beginning with a dog walking service, he set out canvassing Clapham Common with home-printed business cards and a simple survey asking dog owners their views on his new concept of dog day care.

Bruce’s Doggy Day Care was launched in 2008 in a few acres of Surrey countryside.  It is now the UK’s recognised leader in doggy day care and our team is focused on providing an experience that enriches and improves a dog’s life.
