Bloomingtails are excited to now be offering Doggy Day Care!
We are a family‑run business, and we pride ourselves on offering outstanding, home‑from‑home care for your dogs. Our focus has always been on gentle handling, positive experiences, and creating a safe, structured environment where every dog can thrive.
At Bloomingtails, your dog isn’t just another booking — they become part of our extended family. We take the time to understand each dog as an individual, their personality, their needs, and what helps them feel confident and secure.
Why Daycare?
Boredom and excess energy are two of the most common causes of behavioural issues in dogs. Regular exercise, social interaction, and mental stimulation are essential for their wellbeing — and that’s exactly what our daycare provides.
Whether your dog joins us for a day or the whole week, they’ll enjoy:
-
Structured play and enrichment
-
Safe socialisation with carefully matched dogs
-
Plenty of outdoor time
-
Rest periods to prevent overstimulation
-
Lots of fuss, reassurance, and positive interactions
You’ll collect a happy, tired, content dog who can’t wait to come back.

A Calm, Structured Day Full of Fun
7:30 – 9:30am
Morning Arrivals & Settling In
Dogs are welcomed in gently and given time to settle into the environment. New dogs are introduced slowly and calmly so they can build confidence before joining the group. We start the day at each dog’s pace, ensuring everyone feels safe and relaxed. Our team are always hands‑on and actively supervising, supporting positive play and making sure every dog feels safe, understood, and comfortable throughout the day.
9:30 – 11:30am
Morning Play & Social Time
Structured group play in carefully matched friendship groups. We actively supervise all interactions, supporting positive play, building confidence, and helping dogs learn good social skills. This is a lovely time for them to burn off energy and enjoy being with their friends. Dogs are always placed into carefully matched friendship groups based on temperament and play style, ensuring everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience.
11:30 – 1:00pm Enrichment & Learning
A mix of sensory enrichment, problem‑solving activities, confidence‑building games, and gentle reinforcement of good manners. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, and this session helps dogs stay balanced, focused, and fulfilled.
1:00 – 2:00pm
Structured Rest Time
All dogs rest. This is a core part of our welfare‑first approach. Rest prevents overstimulation, supports healthy behaviour, and teaches dogs how to self‑settle — a skill that benefits them at home as much as it does here. Rest is just as important as play. It helps prevent overstimulation, supports healthy behaviour, and teaches dogs the valuable skill of self‑settling.
2:00 – 3:30pm
Afternoon Play & Enrichment
A second play session with more group activities, enrichment games, and, where needed, gentle 1‑to‑1 support. This helps dogs finish the day happy, enriched, and emotionally balanced. We rotate our enrichment activities regularly so your dog experiences a balance of fun, learning, confidence‑building and calm focus throughout the week.
3:30 – 6:00pm
Calm Collection Window
Dogs wind down and relax before going home. You’ll collect a content, settled dog who’s had a full day of fun, enrichment, and companionship — ready for a quiet evening with you.
