Our founder, Bruce Casalis, sits on the board of directors for the Pet Industry Federation and has acted as an advisor for the likes of DEFRA, Dogs Trust and RSPCA.

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

Our centres are divided into different fields based on size and play style such as Sniffing Safari, featuring agility obstacles to unlock the doggy senses and Curiosity Corner with a sensory zone and open spaces to run and play with canine companions. Having secured private equity investment, Bruce’s is poised to take advantage of their lead and expand to create a national group of dog day care nurseries.
