Our Harrie sits by the window waiting…
Our Harrie sits by the window waiting for Eliza to arrive driving her blue van. As you may know English bulldogs are stubborn and I think that Harrie has learned a lot by being able to interact with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She is in love with Eliza and Jasmin which shows how great Bruce’s must be. Thank you for looking after our baby.

Thank you so much for your lovely review – it really means a lot to us.
We’re so pleased to hear how much Harrie enjoys her days with us, and that she’s benefited from spending time with other dogs – especially for a characterful breed like a bulldog!
It’s wonderful to hear about her bond with Eliza and Jasmin, I actually witnessed that bond yesterday when I visited Battlers, it was truly beautiful – I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to them, they’ll be delighted.

Bruce's Solihull (Umberslade)
Bruce's Solihull (Umberslade), thank you to a great friendly team. My Working Cocker Spaniel Dexter was always excited to get in that van to play with his mates. All the pictures showed he was having the time of his life. On days when he was at home with me, he had expectations of me to entertain him the way Bruce's team, kept his day full of fun and activity. Unfortunately, I can't deliver to Bruce's standards, if Dexter could talk he would say so himself.

Good service, reliable & friendly.
Our dog has been at Bruce’s for 2 1/2 years and I am happy with their service and their staff members. Each member of staff that has come to pick up our dog and drop her off has always been extremely friendly and helpful and reliable. Bruce’s have never let us down, and always have arrived when they say they will and dropped her back with good advice on timings. I have enjoyed going to the events that Bruce’s have held and I was very impressed that each staff member there knew my dog by name, even though there were a lot of dogs there. We are currently about to leave Bruce’s due to financial reasons, but I may possibly approach them again in the future for help with our doggy care, and I would not hesitate to do so.

Bruce's Doogy Day Care looks after our dog so well. He is so exited when he is picked up. If we drop him off he can't wait to get in with his doggy mates. The staff are always friendly & helpful.

Mala has been with Bruce’s since she was a puppy. It was her chance to feel like a real dog, with a pack of others, playing in the fields, socialising and having fun. I know she loves it because she’s always eager to get in the van and each handler has been clearly mad about dogs! I trust them completely and know she’s in safe hands.

My dog loves her Bruce’s day
My dog loves her Bruce’s day. She stands looking out of the window when she knows she’s going. The staff are so kind and caring and she comes home completely exhausted after a day playing with her friends. I love the pictures they send so I can see what she’s been doing. Other nice touches - free fun days like the recent Labrador meet up and a free nail clip for her anniversary.

My two dogs don't even look back.
I change the morning routine on the days Bruce's come to collect my two fur babies. The moment they realize it's Bruce's day they get so excited. They wait by the window for the van and will take out legs to get to the door when the van arrives. They love daycare days, and sleep like a log after.
The Bruce's team are professional, and helped when I have needed to changes our days when required. They provide ongoing updates and photos and it is clear they love dogs.

Helping my anxious bundle of joy
I can’t recommend this doggy day care highly enough. From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly caring and attentive, taking the time to truly understand my dog and his anxiety. They’ve gone above and beyond to accommodate his specific needs, making what could be a stressful experience feel calm and positive. What really stands out is how committed they are to continuously improving my dog’s experience. They carefully observe his behaviour, adapt their approach when needed, and always keep me informed. The staff are not only professional but also genuinely compassionate. They’ve offered valuable guidance and reassurance when it comes to managing his anxiety, along with practical advice that has helped both me and my dog. It’s clear they truly understand dog behaviour and take each dog’s personality into account.
Most importantly, I feel completely confident that my dog is in a secure, safe environment where he can play, socialise, and gradually become more comfortable around other people. It’s been wonderful to see his progress, and I’m so grateful to have found a place that cares for him as if he were their own.

We’re so pleased to hear how supported you and your dog have felt from the very beginning. Taking the time to understand each dog as an individual, especially those who may feel anxious, is at the heart of how we approach daycare.
It’s wonderful to know you’ve seen such positive progress. Carefully observing behaviour, adapting where needed, and keeping owners informed are all key parts of making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable and able to build confidence at their own pace.
Your kind words about the team’s care, guidance and compassion mean a lot, and we’re so glad you feel reassured and confident in your dog’s environment.

Cheeky Spud
Spud has grown from an anxious puppy to a confident mischievous dog in the time he has been at Bruces. He hardly eats his breakfast on his doggy day care days as he just wants to get there and play with his doggy and human friends. Thanks to Bruces my rescue pup is curious and brave rather than scared and shy as he was when we adopted him

And keeping dogs as clean and comfortable as possible, even through the muddier months (which can be a challenge for some of the more enthusiastic mud-lovers in the pack!), is all part of the care we aim to provide every day.

Fun safe play for our dog
We have been really pleased with our Bruce's experience. Our Labrador started when he was a puppy and it was great to have a place for him to socialise with other dogs.
