Doggy Day Care FAQs

What is doggy day care? Doggy day care is a little like a child’s nursery but for DOGS! Unlike dog walkers and pet drop-in services, dog day care centres typically offer full day services with a convenient home collection and drop off service. Dogs are picked up from their home in the morning and taken to the doggy day care centre to enjoy being off lead in a safe and secure environment with other happy and social dogs. After a full day of fun, dogs are dropped off home to their owners, ready for a good post doggy day care nap. At Country Paws Doggy Day Care we offer our pick up and drop off services to Bournemouth, Southbourne, Ferndown, West Parley, West Moors, Verwood and surrounding areas.
