7 months ago


Hinckley, United Kingdom KEITS Training Services Ltd Full time

A five-star licensed day care centre for your canine companion. Do you worry about leaving your dog on their own? Would you like your fur baby to socialise more with other four-legged friends? They can enjoy off-lead exercise and socialisation within our secure outdoor paddocks, which includes a sand school arena. Your pooch will have access to a fully air conditioned or heated indoor playroom and rest rooms. So, they can play happily or have a comfy nap during the day. In the summer months, we have an outside sheltered area and paddling pools, so your dog can enjoy a swim Our playroom is designed for small to medium sized social dogs. Set up like a nursery with beds and toys, your dog won’t want to leave at the end of the day. Our doggy day care centre is in a picturesque setting right next to Burbage Common, near Elmesthorpe. We’re easily accessible from Hinckley and all of the surrounding villages.
