What is The Dog Den experience?
At The Dog Den, every dog is treated like family. Our facilities boast spacious play areas, complete with agility equipment, toys and dedicated staff to engage in interactive play sessions. Dogs can choose to socialise, relax with their furry peers or enjoy enrichment opportunities throughout the day. In 2024, we introduced overnight stays, based in Puhoi on private farmland, among native trees and streams – these are fully booked weeks in advance. The Dog Den facilities maintain a pristine, hygienic and safe environment, minimising any potential risks to the dogs' health and wellbeing. Meticulous attention to cleanliness is given throughout the centres at the end of every day.
