Doggy Day Care

Here at Dogs Country Club we believe that is vital that the dogs split their time between activities that are physically stimulating, mentally stimulating, and ‘down time’.

Physical stimulation is important in order to reduce your dog’s energy and manage their excitability. Our day care dogs receive this through:

• Interaction & play with other dogs
• Running through our secure fields
• Swimming in our fresh water lake
• Practicing balance & coordination on our agility equipment

Mental Stimulationis important in order to teach your dog to think for itself and to find excitement in learning new things. Our day care dogs receive this through:

• Scent games
• Basic obedience
• Interactive toys
• Whistle recall training

Down Timeis important as dogs need plenty of sleep and rest in order for them to be happy and enjoy a balanced life style. Puppies, young dogs & older dogs in particular need more down time than adult dogs which we are able to accomodate.

Our day care is open Monday to Friday 6:30am – 7pm. All dogs must be dropped off for their day with us before 10am.

Introducing our Puppy and Small Dog Day Care Sanctuary

Here at Dogs Country Club we now have an area dedicated to our small day care dogs and puppies. This is a great place for smaller breeds and young pups to come, socialise and play with others of a similar size! 

Puppies can join us at day care as soon as they are fully vaccinated! Bringing your puppies to our facilities is a great way for young ones to socialise, learn doggy manners, and prevent separation anxiety! And as we are based in a country style setting, there is so much sensory enrichment for them to explore, tiring them our ready for home time.

The Benefits

The days at the Dogs Country Club Doggy Day Care are filled with fun, exercise and lots of interaction. No other Day Care Centre can offer the same facilities in the whole of the North West that’s why we are so unique.

Some of the benefits are:

• Helps with separation anxiety

Aiming to open no later than January 2024, our new homeboarding facility will be exclusively suited to dogs in their golden years, those that are nervous or shy, those that prefer their own space and company, or those that just love their home comforts.

Throughout the day, your dogs will have access to our secure 1000sqm garden surrounded by trees that provide plenty of shade, beautiful sniffworthy flowers, and plenty of shrubs, and bushes to root around in and explore! During the warmer months, our garden will be equipped with plenty of paddling pools, sprinklers, and cooling mats. During the wetter, colder months, dogs will be taken for regular walks around our secure fields for a sniffari (weather permitting for older dogs).

Dog Grooming Salon

Grooming is essential for all dogs, regardless of age, breed, and fur type. A regular groom is beneficial to a dog’s health and well-being, allowing their coat and skin remain healthy. Brushing aids in coat ventilation through the removal of old, and damaged hair, whereas regular bathing can keep the levels of grease down on a dog’s skin, preventing pore blockages that lead to skin problems.

Puppy’s First Groom – £25

A puppy’s first groom is very important as it allows them to experience the sights, sounds, and smells within a grooming environment from a young age. This prepares them for future grooms and allows them to be more comfortable and even enjoy the experience as they grow and mature. It also allows them to feel more at ease and become accustomed to being handled by someone other than their owners. Handling from a young age prevents fear of being handled in other environments such as day care, and veterinary practices. Puppy’s first groom is for dogs up to 5 months old.

A puppy groom includes:

• Bath and Blow Dry
• Nail Trim
• Ear Clean
• Hygiene Trim (in long haired breeds)
• Eye Trim (in long haired breeds)

Full Groom

A full groom is suitable for all dogs and is catered to the customer’s requirements and specifications. The full groom will start with a pre-groom, this involves a full physical check of the dog’s eyes, ears, pads, nails, coat, and skin. This gives the groomer an idea on what the dogs may need overall i.e., matt removal, specialist shampoo treatment, parasite removal. It will also give the groomer an idea of areas they may need to be more delicate with. Brushing will also be done before bathing to remove any knots and tangles.

Following the pre-groom, your dog will be bathed then brushed again, followed by a full blow dry. If your dog requires cutting/ shaving, styling, this will be done once the dog is fully dried and comfortable. The style will be subject to the customers preferences and groomers’ discretion. If it is found that the dog requires more work due to matting, the groomer will discuss this with the customer prior. If your dog has a specific skin complaint or similar, then we’ll happily discuss this with you and decide upon a suitable grooming product. We carry multiple shampoo and skin conditioning products that are designed to alleviate certain conditions and work in harmony with your dogs skin.

• Clipping and Hand Scissoring

Nervous/ Anxious Dogs

We understand that not all dogs enjoy being groomed and can have had bad previous experiences at the groomers. This can make it difficult to provide the services they need. For a nervous dog groom, we allocate 30 minutes on a regular basis (usually 2-3 weeks) to get them more comfortable with the grooming process. Splitting the grooming process down means the dog has shorter sessions but more frequently and each 30-minute slot will progress. For example, one session may
include bathing and drying, and the next slot will be clipping. Each session will begin at £20 per slot.

These sessions will usually include:

• Using a brush or comb on the dog whilst rewarding them.
• Rewarding the dog whilst stroking and touching different areas such as the feet and legs.
• Having the noise of the clippers whilst being rewarded.
• Having the blaster on and rewarding.
• Cutting small amounts of the fur to ease them into the process.
• Having the dog get used to being on the table and in the restraints.
