Thanks so much for the lovely review! It’s great to hear you enjoyed your taster session and were impressed by all the outdoor space for the dogs to explore. We hope they had just as much fun as you did discovering Bruce’s!
Happy puppy, happy parents.
Our puppy has separation anxiety, and decided to give us a break by putting her into Bruce’s for one day a week. She absolutely loves it, can’t wait to go in and doesn’t even look back. She seems to have a great day with all the activities and comes home exhausted and happy.
We are delighted.
Love the weekly photo updates too.

My dog always runs into daycare and I have so much faith that she is well looked after. I love the open days that they have where we meet the staff and look around the centre at Ditchling. We get a lot of feedback from the staff and also pictures each week of our dog's time at the centre. I would highly recommend Bruce's.

Bruces Woodcote Green is the Best!
Bert has been going to Bruces Woodcote Green for 3 years now and he absolutely loves it. And I love how happy and excited he is to go. The staff are sooo helpful - on several occasions now I've had to jiggle my days around and they are always so accommodating. I love going to their open days / fun days too. Cannot reccomend highly enough.

7 Years and Still Loving Bruce’s! 🐾❤️
Luna has been going to Bruce’s since December 2019, so almost seven years now, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.
She joined Bruce’s as an older dog and is now an incredible 16½ years old, but she still absolutely loves her days there! I genuinely believe continuing to go to daycare has helped keep her active, stimulated and full of energy as she’s got older.
What I particularly appreciate is how well the whole Bruce’s team knows and looks after Luna. They keep such a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re in the right groups and areas for their age, energy levels and individual needs. As Luna has become a very senior lady, that gives me so much confidence that she is not only having fun but is being properly looked after too.
I also absolutely love the Bruce’s app. It’s almost like a little Facebook for the dogs, with photos from their daycare days. After nearly seven years, we have such a lovely collection of pictures of Luna enjoying herself over the years, which is really special to have.
Seeing my 16½-year-old girl still excited to go to Bruce’s says everything. A huge thank you to the whole team for taking such wonderful care of her all these years. ❤️🐾

What a lovely review to read. Nearly seven years with Luna is incredibly special, and we love that at 16½ she’s still excited for her days at Bruce’s! It means so much to hear how much confidence you have in the team to know Luna and understand what she needs as she’s grown older.
We especially love that you’ve built up such a wonderful collection of photos through the Bruce’s app over the years, so many happy memories of Luna’s adventures! Thank you for trusting us with your girl for all these years. We’ll make sure your kind words are shared with the team ❤️

I’ve been really happy my dog gets very excited during collection staff are so lovely and honestly show so much care.
I put my dog into dog day care because she’s an anxious dog and I’m wanting her to build her confidence with people the staff have been such a blessing and I’ve noticed Bella is getting more confident.
Also my dog isn’t great off lead and runs off when I take her out on walks and not having a garden either this gives my dog a safe environment to run around safely and be socialised with other dogs.
Bella has been so happy and the pictures are amazing too and it’s so rewarding seeing Bella improve.
I did see bad reviews and stuff but honestly no one should paint everyone under the same brush if you meet the staff you will see how lovely they are as they do generally care and I trust them with my dog.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s lovely to hear how excited Bella gets for collection, and even better to know you’re already seeing her confidence grow.
Having the space to run, make friends and simply enjoy being a dog can make such a difference, and we’re so pleased Bella is settling in so well. It’s also wonderful to hear that you feel confident leaving her in the team’s care, we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to them.
We absolutely love having Bella as part of the Bruce’s family.

Our dog has been attending Bruce's since she was a few months old and loves it there. She's always excited when she's picked up and tired when she gets home. We love the photos we receive each week and when we visit she seems genuinely happy there. All of the staff are caring and clearly love dogs.

The most excited I ever see my dogs is when I come home from a trip and haven’t seen them in a few days or more. The second most excited I see them is when the Doggy Bus from Bruce’s rings my doorbell.

Bruce’s Sleepover Service
We were so happy that we were able to book a sleepover for our labrador Sindy with superstar driver Izzy last month. It enabled us to attend our grandson’s christening in Somerset knowing that Sindy was having a whale of a time and being expertly cared for. Thank you so much Izzy!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted that Sindy’s sleepover meant you could enjoy such a special family occasion knowing she was being well cared for, and having a wonderful time herself!
Izzy will be thrilled to hear your kind words, and we’ll be sure to pass them on. It’s wonderful to know the sleepover gave you that extra peace of mind while you were away.

Excellent doggy daycare
Brilliant caring, friendly staff. I love how they’re always thinking of events for the dogs . The 5yr + party was full of fun , food and cake. The Cookham team are the best at what Bruce’s offer as a daycare, I know Barney is in good hands from the time he’s picked up to the time he’s dropped off with fun activities inbetween.
Thank you Cookham Team

The noise coming from the Cobham field
I would never send my three dogs here. I was by the field in Cobham where the dogs are kept and allowed to run around, on the golf course side and I found the noise extremely upsetting. Several dogs were howling and sounded visibly agitated and distressed.
I appreciate that dogs can naturally make noise, but the level of howling and agitation I heard was concerning and would make me very uncomfortable leaving my own dogs there. Based on what i heard, I would not feel confident using this place for my dogs.
Another thing to quickly add I have never seen a Bruce’s van drive at the allowed speed limit.

Hi Poppy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The happiness and wellbeing of the dogs in our care is at the heart of everything we do. Our dogs spend their days in carefully managed social groups, with trained team members supervising and supporting their individual needs throughout the day.
We’ve also noted your comments regarding our doggy buses. Please feel free to contact us directly with any details so we can follow up accordingly.
You would also be very welcome to arrange a walk-around of our Cobham centre. We’d be happy to show you around, introduce you to the team and give you the opportunity to see first-hand how our day care operates.
Thank you again for getting in touch.
Nanuk loves it
Nanuk loves it - waits for the school bus arriving with huge excitement and is in love with the people who care for him. He’s not a husky to hide his feelings! He’s happily exhausted when he gets back.

Thank you so much for sharing! It sounds like Nanuk makes his feelings about Bruce’s very clear! We love hearing how excited he gets waiting for the doggy day care bus and, even more so, how much he adores the team who care for him. A happily exhausted Nanuk at the end of the day sounds like a day well spent!
