Oliver loves going to Bruce's at Surrey Hills
Oliver loves going to Bruce's Doggy Day Care, I wish I’d started him sooner. He adores his driver Izzy - always ready to pounce for cuddles before getting on the doggy bus and he always comes back absolutely knackered.
The whole team are just excellent - especially Jane and Simon. They are always happy to help, ensuring any specific concerns or requirements are met and communication is always 100%.
Another added bonus is seeing the weekly pictures, it’s so reassuring to see how much Oliver is enjoying his time ! I would highly recommend Bruce's Doggy Day Care Surrey Hills to anyone. ☺️

Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for this fantastic review!
We love hearing how excited Oliver is for his Bruce’s days - those pre-bus cuddles with Izzy sound pretty irresistible! And coming home tired is always a sign of a day well spent.
It’s also wonderful to hear your kind words about Jane, Simon, and the wider team. Making sure every dog’s needs are met and keeping communication spot-on is so important to us. We’re glad our weekly puparazzi snaps give you that extra reassurance too - Oliver clearly has the best time!

a Fun day at Bruce`s doggy day care with my friends
My lovely cockapoo was at under a year old a timid and suffered with separation anxiety from me .Going to Bruces day care was initially just to get me through surgery which meant i could not walk him. It became a new way of life and was self healing for my lovely boy with each visit gaining confidence and the staff were amazing .
Every visit when he is collected he meets the driver with total confidence , photos of his day are shared and i know he is in safe hands . A wonderful team WONDERFUL

Hi Debbie,
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story.
We’re incredibly honoured to have been part of your cockapoo’s journey. Seeing a timid pup grow in confidence with each visit - especially one who struggled with separation anxiety - is exactly why we do what we do.
It’s lovely to hear how comfortable and confident he is with his driver now, and that our weekly puparazzi photos help give you peace of mind knowing he’s in safe hands. Your kind words about our team truly mean the world to us.

The team at Bruce's are great
The team at Bruce's are great. My dog Betsy knows when it is 'school day' day gets so excited. She runs to the van and jumps straight in ( not before getting her cuddle from Ellie). She always has such a great day and is exhausted when she gets home. Her tracker often says she has run and played for over 15 miles. She is a complex dog and it has done wonders for her confidence and her social skills with other dogs and people. Simon is also great and quick to inform me of any changes. I cant fault it and it is worth every penny.

Our Labrador loves going to Bruce's
Our Labrador loves going to Bruce's, its the highlight of her week, getting to play with her other doggy friends and generally wear herself out.
She always happily leaves the house and jumps into the van and is always tucked in safe in her room when she comes home.
The positive experience and other dog socilisation makes her a good girl and a joy to be around other dogs and people.

Peace of mind and a very happy dog!
We got our puppy four years ago, a very energetic Hungarian Vizsla, and from the outset we knew that with our work schedules she’d need extra support through either a dog walker or daycare. After visiting several options, Bruce’s felt like the best fit for both us and our dog. We initially started at the Cobham centre and loved the facilities. Winnie always came home happy, settled, and suitably worn out.
Now four years old, Winnie still attends Bruce’s twice a week at the Surrey Hills centre and absolutely loves it. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she’s happy, stimulated, and so well looked after. We also attended puppy classes at Bruce’s when she was just 12 weeks old, and I genuinely believe that, alongside daycare, this played a huge role in shaping Winnie into the confident, well-socialised, and lovable dog she is today.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bruce’s to anyone looking for outstanding daycare and support for their dog.

Hi Rob,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review.
It’s been a real pleasure to be part of Winnie’s journey, from those early puppy classes right through to her Surrey Hills adventures today. Knowing that Bruce’s has helped give you peace of mind (and Winnie such a happy, enriching routine) truly means the world to us.
She is an absolute joy, and we’re so grateful for your trust and recommendation.

Fantastic
Well, what can I say. Bruce’s took on my amazing English Pointer when another daycare said he was too much like hard work. We knew he wasn’t and it was the way they managed the dogs regards to size, rather than activity levels.
From the start, Bruce’s just got him. He’s had wonderful care and socialization and if not for finances, he’d be staying. Flynn can’t wait to get there, cries in the car in anticipation. The staff are great and their policies mean we could change our set day. Kept in touch and updated ne whilst never making me overly stressed or interfering with my work.
Thank you to all the staff for looking after Flynn so well. If situation was different we would be back in a heartbeat. I now have a totally socialised and happy dog

Hi Suzanne,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review.
We absolutely loved getting to know Flynn and we’re so pleased to hear how positive his experience with us has been. It means a lot to know that our approach to grouping by activity levels and understanding exactly what dogs really need made such a difference for him.
Hearing that he was excited to arrive (even before getting out of the car!) is one of the best compliments we could receive.
Our team will be really touched by your kind words about the care, communication and flexibility – it’s exactly what we aim to provide for both dogs and their humans. While we’ll miss seeing Flynn, we’re so glad he’s leaving us as a confident, happy and well-socialised boy. We've loved being a part of his story.
Thank you again for trusting us with him, and we hope our paths cross again in the future.

The Team at Wellington are fantastic and my Cavapoo loves going to Bruce’s. The staff are excellent and well organised.
