Welcome to our Award Winning Day Care

Claire's Comfy Canines is a privately owned and award winning business, awarded the amazing prize of the UKs, No 1 Doggy Day Care Business 2018, we were also a finalist for Doggy Day Care Business 2015, 2016 & 2017 and Dog Friendly Awards 2018.

We are licenced, insured, Vet Endorsed, qualified and with decades of experienced. You can be sure your dog is in the best and safest hands.

Being privately owned with no outside investors means we have we can truly focus on your dogs needs and not the needs of any investors. With the doggy day care and pet industry growing so rapidly many day cares and boarding businesses are franchised or investor owned. We are proud to not only be an independent, privately owned business, but our Founder, Owner and Managing Director, Claire, is still very hands on day to day.

As of 1st October 2018 any one offering day care for your dog must have a licence from their local authority. The new scheme has a star rating and risk assessment. We are delighted to be rated 5 stars and low risk, meaning we have been issued a 3 year licence. This is the best rating and lowest risk available to any doggy day care in the UK.

Enrichment stations

We want your dog to have the best and most enriching day possible. In order to achieve this we have a variety of "enrichment stations" in our paddock;

  • Play Pen
  • Woodland retreat
  • Tunnels of love
  • Rainbow bridge
  • The Tractor Tyres
  • The Swing

Your dog is free to roam between these areas and help provide them with a variety of activities, different friends to play with and plenty of cuddles from the team. You will be able to view all of these in our paddock when you come and visit us.

Our Schedule

We are open from 7:30am - 6:30pm Monday - Friday, and your dog's day will include the following.

7:30 - 9:30
Arrival

9:00 - 10:45
Supervised and structured outside play time with friends, using agility and interactive games, or just a spot of sunbathing.

1-2-1 time with day care staff, focusing on training needs. Learning tricks, basic obedience or some heel work.

10:45 - 13:15
Nap and quiet time. Maybe a snack or some lunch. Plenty of cuddles and ear scratching from day care staff.

13:15 - 14:30
Supervised and structured play time outside. Maybe a dip in the splash pool, or play in the sand pit-or perhaps just chasing friends around in the secure and safe paddocks.

14:30 - 15:30
Team meeting, a brush over, with full health check and extra tummy rubs.

15:30 - 16:00
HUG A DOG HALF HOUR - DO NOT DISTURB
This special part of our day is a sheduled break in our very busy routine when our team and dogs just take half an hour to chill and have a hug.

In todays hectic lifestyle and in a demanding job like ours, we felt the team and dogs needed a little extra quality time to enjoy each others company.

16:00 - 18:30
Time to go home and spend evening at leisure with family. Ideally with plenty of cuddles on sofa, and a quick comfort break before bed, to dream all night about the fun had at Claires Comfy Canines, and what might be in store tomorrow!
