Although it has been only a couple of weeks, Bailey seems to have settled nicely at Bruce's. She comes home shattered but happy from a day of playing and running around.

All great, no notes
Edna has been at Country Hills for several months and loves it. Yesterday we went to see the Battlers Green site. Everyone was so informed, so friendly, and the facilities were excellent. They'd thought of everything to keep every dog safe, happy and stimulated.
Most interesting was the Edna is quite a nervous dog but yesterday I was so pleased to see her totally confident and relaxed around all of the staff and the other dogs! It's really helping her confidence!
As an owner, they're patient with my scatty admin, fast to respond and share fun extras like weekly photos of Edna having fun.

We’re so pleased to hear how much Edna is enjoying her time with us — and even more so to see her growing in confidence. That’s something we really care about, and it’s lovely to hear she felt so relaxed and happy when visiting Battlers Green 🐾
It’s great to know the team and facilities made such a positive impression, and that you’ve found everything easy to manage (no matter how “scatty” the admin might feel!). We’re always here to help.
We love sharing those weekly updates too — Edna is clearly having a brilliant time!
Thank you for trusting us with her and for being such a valued part of the Bruce’s family.

This company don't even deserve one star...
This company don't even deserve one star. They keep having any negative reviews removed. That tell you everything you need to know about this company. I used to work for this dodgy day care and I thought that centre was bad enough with roughly 60 dogs. Seeing the evidence online has confirmed what I always believed to be true - they don't care about dogs at all - just money. Dogs spend hours and hours in the the vans before arriving at over crowded unsanitary centres where in the winter they get absolutely filthy and in the summer they struggle to find shade and keep cool. This place will absolutely ruin/scar your dog.

Our high energy, playful labradoodle Nora loves her Monday sessions at Bruce’s Cookham. They are definitely the highlight of the week fir her. We are very pleased with the service, also with the attentive staff and administration. We’ve appreciated the company’s flexibility with date changes too.

Fantastic doggie daycare
My Labrador retriever absolutely loves her day at Bruce’s. She knows when the driver has arrived to collect her and can’t wait for her cuddles. Communication is exceptional along with the service provided. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for daycare for their dogs.

Drogo loves going to Bruce's Surrey Hills. He gets hyper excited when Jorjia turns up and comes home happy and tired - excellent day for a cocker spaniel!
All the staff we've met during pickups / drop offs and on the open days have been professional and friendly and you can see that they enjoy being round the dogs and the dogs love running over to their handlers.
