What makes Dog Stories Daycare Different?

Dog Stories is introducing a new approach to dog daycare with smaller numbers of dogs per staff member and a more attentive, beneficial and stress-free experience for dogs and their owners. This type of daycare is often known as VIP or higher standards dog daycare.

You and your dog will enjoy a better and more personalised dog daycare experience, and your dog will benefit from more one-to-one attention, stimulation and socialisation.

Our service is genuinely different from other daycares, and we are working to create the best dog daycare in London, with some unique aspects, designed to make every daycare day fun and stress-free for every dog.

• One dog only per crate in the 'school bus'

• One member of staff for every eight dogs

• We'll build on your training at daycare and can help improve behaviour

• Your dog will socialise with friends and dogs with whom they are comfortable

• A diverse range of activities to give your dog mental stimulation and physical exercise

• Doggy treehouses and a variety of distinct areas and rest areas to provide choice for your dog

• Plenty of quiet rest areas to have a nap and get ready to start playing again

• Licenced at DEFRA's new higher standard with a four-star award

• Over 20 years' experience caring for and training dogs

How does it work?

We collect your dog from your home first thing in the morning in our 'doggy school bus'. Then, we drive your dog to our tranquil and green facility on the outskirts of London, in Staines-upon-Thames, for a full day of the exercise, stimulation, training and companionship your dog needs to stay healthy and happy.

By gently introducing each new dog to their new surroundings, humans and canine companions, we make sure that every dog in our care gains confidence in the daycare experience at their own pace. 

We aim to deliver the best dog daycare possible and have enclosed spaces for different sizes and breeds of dog, with a maximum of six dogs per field and dedicated carer. 

Our interactive installations are built from recycled materials and include our dog tree houses; we have exciting plans for more in the near future. We also ensure that every dog enjoys the regular quiet breaks they need throughout the day.

At the end of a happy day, your furry friend will be returned, tired and content, in the 'doggy school bus' to your home.

Fully licenced to the higher standard for animal welfare

We are very proud to have achieved DEFRA's new higher standards for dog daycare and have been awarded a four-star rating and licence.
