Our experience with Cobham's Bruce's Doggy Day…
Our experience with Bruce's Doggy Day Care has and continues to be excellent. Our dog Stanley has been going to Bruce's Cobham for 7 years now and he has become good pals with lots of the other dogs there and many of the staff. In particular he has a good bond with Kevin who is the excellent driver who brings him home and has a genuine passion for looking after all the dogs. It's true that you can only take as you find but we've found Bruce's has been very good for us and Stan.

I was trying to sing up my little…
I was trying to sing up my little stuffy. And was refused because of the breed he is. No one ever tried to see if he can fit the group or what personality he has. He is very friendly, good with groups, definitely can spend all day with other dogs, not aggressive. I was very disappointed that it is judge by the breed and the type of dog. As each dog reflects the owner not a breed.

Hi Monika,
We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed by our decision.
We understand that owners of all breeds can have wonderful, well-socialised dogs. However, Bruce’s has an established admissions policy that applies consistently across all of our centres.
Our approach is based on many years of experience operating our specific doggy day care environment. We know that day care isn't the right fit for every dog, and some breeds, as well as some individual dogs, can find this environment overstimulating. Our aim is never to set a dog up to fail, but to ensure that every dog in our care can thrive and enjoy the very best day care experience.
We appreciate that this will be disappointing, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

All round- couldn't ask for more
Great communication, lovely people who clearly love dogs- shout out to Mia and Rachel. Mia is our regular pick up and Rachel covered our last weeks holiday. Bernie has been going since he was vaccinated as a pup.
Bernie always has his front paws up on the windowsill looking out for the van and pulls Mia to the van when she collects him. More excited to see her than me! And bonus is he’s well socialised and comes back exhausted

Beware! Unsafe transportation of dogs!
Beware! Unsafe transportation of dogs!
I was was recently left horrified and shaken by the driving standards of a Bruce’s employee.
One of Bruce’s branded vans failed to give way to the right at the roundabout near Charterhouse School in Godalming earlier this week. I was already on the roundabout and had right of way, but the driver pulled out at speed without stopping or giving way, forcing me to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.
It was genuinely frightening, and it has really shaken my confidence in Bruce’s. This is a company entrusted with transporting people’s dogs, so seeing one of their branded vans being driven in such a careless way near a school area is deeply concerning.
I reported it to Bruce’s head office because I felt it was a serious road safety issue, but they have failed to respond. That lack of acknowledgement makes the whole situation feel even worse.
