My Experience
My dog comes home very dirty nearly every week. This did not used to happen. However he loves attending the day care and enjoys his time there.

My dog loves going to Bruce’s Cobham
My dog loves going to Bruce’s in Cobham. She especially loves the warm welcome she gets from her driver Dominika.
She knows it’s a Bruce’s day as she gets an early breakfast and then sits chattering excitedly at the door waiting for the key in the door.
She bounds out the door and into the van and comes home exhausted in the afternoon.
What more could you want!

Hearing that she bounds onto the van and comes home happily tired after a fun-filled day is exactly what we hope for. Thank you for trusting us with her care and for taking the time to share your experience.

Amazing
My doggy has been using Bruce’s pretty much full time for 5 years, he loves it, we love it - communication is amazing as is their clear love of the dogs. We use Ripley and he also has his haircuts there. Highly recommended. Thank you Simon and his team.

Bruce’s Doggy Daycare - great communication
The weather during the last week of May has been very challenging for dogs. Bruce’s Doggy Daycare has been brilliant in communicating with us (big thank you Jasmine), about their plans for dealing with it.
They kept a very close watch on the weather over the weekend and amended the weekly timetable to half days where temperatures were forecast to be in the mid 30’s. In instances where dogs could not stay at home, they were picked up early & dropped off before it got dangerously hot. Well done for putting our dogs health & comfort first.

A GENUINELY HAPPY PLACE FOR MY…
A GENUINELY HAPPY PLACE FOR MY FOUR‑LEGGED FRIEND
My dog absolutely adores Bruce’s. It’s become the highlight of his day — every day. He trots in with total confidence, tail going like a metronome, and if he had his way, he’d be there seven days a week. Weekends included.
There’s something wonderfully reassuring about a place where your dog doesn’t just settle… he thrives. The team clearly love what they do, and it shows in the way he comes home happy, relaxed, and ready for his next visit. It’s a joyful, safe, caring environment, and I couldn’t ask for more.

We absolutely loved reading about your dog's enthusiasm for Bruce’s — a wagging tail at the thought of daycare is one of the greatest compliments we could receive! It's fantastic to hear that he feels so confident, happy and settled with us, and that his days at Bruce’s have become such a highlight of his week.
Creating a safe, caring and enriching environment where dogs can truly thrive is exactly what we strive for, so your kind words mean a great deal to the whole team.

My dog's Bruce's family
The doggy bus drivers, carers and office staff are all super helpful and lovely. My dog loves his Bruce's family. They understand when he is under the weather and if they notice any changes in him, they reach out. He gets lots of cuddles and when its hot like it or not he is helped to have a little cooling bathe.

Highly Recommended
We started using Bruce’s towards the end of Covid times to ensure our puppy was socialised. I initially took her for a try out session. She was apparently nervous to begin with but got into it very quickly.
It was wonderful to see the amount of space in the countryside but also how they divide the dogs up so there’s even temperaments and size. She has never been bothered going on the bus and sharing the cage with another dog.
We have never looked back and our 5 year old dog is still waiting, looking out the window for the blue van every week!
We have had a few drivers who have all been caring and professional. We also use Bruce’s for boarding and our dog absolutely loves being with the Bruce’s staff and their own dogs when we are away.
We get photos of the day our dog is in day care but also from the boarders when away. It seems like our dog is spoilt to bits and takes all the care going her way!!
We can’t recommend Bruce’s @ Cobham enough! They are super efficient with communication and the dog care is exceptional.

Bruce’s is fantastic in every way. They offer great and safe doggy daycare and my dog is so happy to go and has a great time. Exhausted when she comes home after all the playing, socialising and fun with her doggy friends.

Bruce's is the pawfect place for my Golden Retriever. He loves his time there and comes back happy, smiling and loved up. Communication has always been prompt, helpful and the staff are always ready and willing to help. The app is very user friendly and makes adding/moving days around so easy. I get weekly pics and videos of him and he clearly has a fabulous time. Special commendations to Jess and Kate who are his carers and drivers and are so lovely with him. He's almost more excited to see them than he is me!

The Whole Team Clearly Love What They Do...
I've been bringing Barney to Bruce's Doggie Day Care since they first opened their doors, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with him. The service has been absolutely fabulous from day one — not a single issue in all the time we've been going.
What really sets this place apart is the people. Kate, who looks after Barney, is wonderful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs in her charge, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing Barney is in such good hands. Jordan, Barney's driver, is equally amazing — always reliable, always friendly, and Barney is always happy to see him.
The whole team clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a doggie day care where your four-legged family member will be treated like gold, look no further.
Highly recommended!
