Services
Dog Daycare
Our structured daycare program offers supervised socialisation and enrichment activities in a secure environment. Dogs engage in interactive games, treat-hunting exercises, and group play while receiving individualised attention from experienced handlers. The climate-controlled facility features three play areas and non-slip flooring to ensure safety during active play sessions.
Dog Boarding
Short-term boarding accommodates up to 20 dogs in private suites with daily access to play areas. We maintain low-volume intake to provide personal attention, including walking services and behavioural monitoring. Boarding requires prior daycare assessment to ensure compatibility with our group environment and socialisation standards.
Dog Grooming
Crate-free grooming services include baths, nail clipping, and ear cleaning using premium cruelty-free products. Our staff specialises in low-stress techniques for puppies and nervous dogs, offering anxiety-relief treats and break options. We maintain a calm environment to create positive grooming experiences for first-time visitors.
Puppy Socialisation
Six-week programs help puppies develop social skills through supervised playgroups with similar-aged dogs. Structured sessions teach appropriate play behaviour and build confidence in new environments. The program includes a half-day introduction session and weekly progressive socialisation activities to establish lifelong canine etiquette.
Doggy Spa Services
Exit baths and nail maintenance services ensure dogs return home clean and well-groomed after daycare. Our spa operates without crates, allowing free movement under staff supervision. We use premium products and offer special accommodations for dogs requiring additional care during grooming procedures.
