Doggy day care in Cornwall

They used to simply be called kennels, but the expectations of the modern dog-lover are high, and the facilities for dogs can match (and in some cases exceed) those for their owner.

Coming to Cornwall but need someone to host your hound for a few hours or days, perhaps while you sneak off for a meal or a meeting, an assignation or activity? Look no further than our list of doggy care providers:

One current favourite is Doggy Day Care Cornwall at St Erth. Their impressive and professional website is a window to their full range of services to canines, including dog boarding, pick up and drop off, wash and fluff dry, puppy academy and care and nutrition advice as well as dog day care. There is also Penzance Pet Care as another option in west Cornwall.

In the more central and southern parts of Cornwall you’ll find a number of providers including Oggy Doggy Daycare in Truro, West Cornwall Dog Service based near Zennor; The Dog’s House in Roche; Happy Returns Pet Companions in Redruth; Rowes Pet Hotel in St Austell; Creusa Kennels (and cattery) near The Eden Project, and Brookfield Kennels & Cattery can be found in Camborne.

On the north Cornish coast you’ll find Jo’s Doggy Daycare in Newquay and Canine Country Club in Bude. Further east, there’s Cornish Dog Boarding and Doggie Motel both in Launceston; Bob’s Home from Home Dog Hotel in Liskeard and The Wag Pad Boarding Kennels in Holsworthy.

Last but not least, if you fancy an outdoor adventure for your dog that you are not able to deliver yourself, or while you are not available to provide it, look no further than H2 Adventuredog, based in the wonderful Tamar Valley! Search #waggytailsandmuddytrails #getoutside #adventuredog

This is a one-woman band, but fully insured and very experienced – not your average dog walker. Her own animal is a highly trained Search & Rescue dog! She doesn’t just walk your dog, but interacts, plays and reinforces positive behaviours, shares exercise, enjoying the sniffs and trails of the locality. Alli is an endurance athlete and can run with those high energy and demanding dogs, or gently walk those who need a little less activity. The aim is always to return with a happy-waggy tail!

Services include Dog walking – Dog running – Dogsitting – Adventure dog days 3-4hrs (with transport, snuggles and fun!) – Overnight Dog-sitting or House-sitting.
