Why Choose Doggy Daycare?

Dog daycare offers far more than supervision — it supports your dog’s emotional, social, and mental wellbeing while giving owners complete peace of mind.

At The Wag Club Dog Daycare, we are proud to have been voted Most Trusted Dog Daycare of 2024, an award decided by public vote. This recognition reflects our commitment to safety, structure, and genuine care.

Benefits of Doggy Daycare

Enhanced Socialization & Mental Health
Dogs are social by nature. Spending long hours alone can lead to anxiety, boredom, and destructive behaviours. Daycare provides a stimulating, safe environment where dogs interact positively with other dogs and people, improving confidence and emotional balance.

Skill Development for Life
Puppies and young dogs learn essential social skills, appropriate play behaviour, and adaptability to new environments. These early experiences build confident, well-rounded adult dogs.

Consistency Is Key
We recommend attendance at least twice per week for optimal behavioural, mental, and physical development. Regular routines help dogs feel secure, balanced, and happy.

Expert Care You Can Trust
Our experienced team, secure facilities, and strong reputation ensure your dog is cared for like family — every single day.
