Doggie day care is a place your dog can socialise with other dogs whilst playing and receiving exercise. Dogs are pack animals and day care gives them a chance to be part of a pack within a safe, secure and controlled environment. It stops dogs becoming bored or suffering with separation anxiety.

Barehams policy is that no dogs are brought into our facility whilst in season.

Should a dog come into season whilst with us, then they will be separated from all the other dogs and quarantined until collection. We would prefer to only take spayed bitches. However, please speak to the staff for more information.

Barehams are able to take puppies from 4 months old provided they have had all of their vaccinations. It is advisable to ensure your puppy has been treated for worms and fleas.

If your dog is taken ill whilst at Barehams they will be taken quarantined and you will be informed immediately of the situation. Depending on the severity of the situation we will ask you to collect your dog at the earliest convenience. If veterinary treatment appears to be required we will seek your agreement, however, if you are not available we will take your dog to the vets as a precaution.

We are very particular about which dogs are allowed to use the Day Care facility. As this is an ‘open play’ environment it is extremely important that, wherever possible, the dogs’ temperaments are suitable for Day Care. Each dog will be assessed prior to entering the facility.

We do have segregated areas for puppies and small dogs to suit their size. 

Barehams is an established business with many years’ experience in handling and understanding dogs and their behaviours.

We are fully insured and licensed by the local authority.

Our secure external paddocks of over an acre offer plenty of space offer plenty of space for your dog to expend its energy. We have agility equipment and various toys and other equipment available.

We have internal areas to shelter form inclement weather. We have a grooming salon where we can wash down dirty doggies after a day in the mud!

Doggy Day Care is open Monday to Saturday from 7:30am until 5:30pm

We offer a pet taxi service. Our modern van is fully fitted out to provide the best possible transport for our guests. Please note this is subject to availability and within a 3 mile radius.
