Families are no longer content to leave their pets at home whilst they go out to work, doggy day care provides a realistic, cost effective and safe alternative to leaving dogs ‘home alone’. Families who were previously reluctant to get a dog due to the fact that they may have to leave it alone for many hours whilst they work, are now able to enjoy the pleasure of owning a dog knowing it is safe and well cared for during the day. People are also more conscious that dogs are social animals, and left alone for long periods of time may become distressed, anxious and or destructive and noisy. Doggy Day Care is an emerging and growing trend amongst pet owners today. Dog owners are committed to providing the very best of care for their dogs and this includes providing them with professional supervision for the hours they are away from them.

 

At Foxwood Farm Doggy Day care, we provide professional and loving care for the most precious of canine friends. We provide both the physical and mental stimulation required to assure our canine charges are relaxed and content. Our staff provide surrogate family care through fun and stimulating activities with supervised exercise and rest.

 

Foxwood Farm Doggy Day Care is a new self-funded enterprise, however the management and staff have many years’ experience in animal behaviour management and are committed to providing each and every canine visitor with an individual tailored approach based on their needs. We will specialise in the care of elderly and or frail dogs who may need additional attention and requirements. We will partner with our visiting facility veterinary services and offer scheduled veterinary check-ups on a fee for service basis should their owners require this.
