Today we welcomed Hal to Barks and Recreation for a morning of fun activities to keep cool in this hot summer weather 🌞! This confident and gentle Rottweiler X LOVED the pool, going for a splash and a swim after a little run around with his new friends. Hal was also a big fan of the chew toys, and had a great time joining in a few games of fetch. It was so lovely to meet such a sweet and affectionate boy, excited to see you on your next visit ❤️.

Fitz was our third newbie today, and what a pleasure this sweet chocolate Labradoodle was to have. Becoming besties with Benji this morning, the two loved wrestling around the pen, before going for a soak in the pools outside to cool off.
He was a big fan of the chew toys and loved playing fetch, fitting in super well with his oodle buddies, Basil, Reggie and Whiskey.
We are all so proud of how well this little pup did on his first day here with us, and I’m sure your new friends are eager to see you again soon 🤩!

Welcome to beautifully natured Lucy, who has done SO well on first day of dog daycare ever!
She was super inquisitive and playful, constantly excited about all the different toys we have, from chews to ropes, playing a lovely game of tug with Torvi and Ember before quiet time. Lucy also made great friends with Pocky, another Greyhound, joining in zoomies outside, before going for a dip and a dig in the pool. We are all very excited to have you back anytime 😍!

We were lucky enough to have two new Greys join our Barks and Recreation gang today. The first of which is Edie, a happy and playful girl, with stunning brindle colouring.
She loved running around the outdoor equipment, chasing the ball with her sister Lucy, and coming up for treats, making sure to display her gorgeous manners 😍. After quiet time, Edie was in the mood for pats and cuddles, enjoying a well deserved rest are a fun filled morning. Great job on your first ever visit to dog daycare ❤️!

Beautiful Shumba was our final new addition for today, and what a gorgeous, cuddly boy he was.
He made best friends with Preston, and the two were inseparable, rolling around treat toys and playing fetch outside. At quiet time Shumba created a game of “blanket tug” with Kenzo before having a big, and very well deserved sleep. Thanks for all the kisses and snuggles, can’t wait for more next time 😍!

Otis came in super brave for his first EVER day of dog daycare, and was an absolute pro!

Tony also has a unique talent for holding two toys in his mouth at once, which made for a very entertaining game of fetch before home time. Great job fitting in on your first day ❤️!
