Big Brown Paws Doggie Daycare & Grooming

🐾BBPAWS TURNS 10!🐾 Today is a special day for our small business. It marks 10 years to-the-day that the owner, Alicia, started up this wonderful business with the view of 'enriching the lives of canine and owner'. Big Brown Paws is named after Alicia's dog, Obi - the dog with the Big Brown Paws! BBPAWS started out at Alicia's home in May 2014, and then became the first official dog daycare facility to open up in Taupō, when it moved into its current home on Mataī St home in October 2014. There are no words to describe how grateful we are for all of our customers over the years; none of this could have been achieved without your ongoing love & support of our small business. It has been an absolute honour to serve you and your doggies throughout the past 10 years, and we are so excited to see what the next 10 years brings! . . . . . . #lovetaupo #dogfriendlynz #doggydaycarelife #dogdaycare #dogstagram #smallbusiness

Today we received some incredibly sad news; our beloved Harley has crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🐾🌈 Our hearts break for his wonderful humans who loved him so dearly. We feel honoured that you chose to send your darling boy to BBPaws. Rest easy buddy, we'll miss your goofy smile 💔

Tui here is known as "Wiggles" for one simple reason: she's passionate about wiggling. She can frequently be found wiggling her way across the room, only to wiggle her way back again. But is she wiggling because she's happy or is she happy because she's wiggling? Either way, Tui has wiggled her way into being Dog of the Week. • • • • • • #dogbirthday #puppylove #dogoftheday #lovetaupo #doglife #dogsofinstagram #dogfriendlynz #newzealand #dogsoffacebook #bigbrownpaws #dogstagram #doggiedaycare #doggydaycarelife

🌟Dog of the week!⭐️ Portmanteau - combing two words with similar meanings together to make a third, I.e ginormous, labradoodle, or chillax. That last one was invented specifically for Harley. He's so laid back he's actually lying down - and getting belly rubs while he's at it. Holiday mode Harley is our Dog of the Week, but he's honestly not fussed. #dogoftheweek #doggiedaycare #dogsofinstagram #dogsoffacebook #taupo #nz #doggydaycare #doglovers #dogmums

Benji (Benjamin) travels with his family in a caravan all over New Zealand and we had the pleasure of grooming him to get him ready for the Summer time! He is a 5 month old puppy and was having his first full groom - Jemma said he did absolutely amazing! He even fell asleep in the bathtub and sat there patiently when having his legs trimmed!🐶 • • • • • #dogbirthday #puppylove #dogoftheday #lovetaupo #doglife #dogsofinstagram #dogfriendlynz #newzealand #dogsoffacebook #bigbrownpaws #dogstagram #doggydaycarelife #doggiedaycare

The doggies had the best day ever at Big Brown Paws Howl'oween party 🎈 The dogs did some trick and treating today.. the trick was they had to find the treats in our Halloween room. They also did some bobbing for carrots and apples. The dogs love the new chicken flavoured bubbles from ScoopDog https://scoopdog.co.nz/collections/bubbles #dogsofinstagram #halloween #dogsonfacebook #taupō #doggiedaycare #nz #foryourpage
