Now that’s more like it! A bit of heat in the air at last!

The big coat is officially away! 🧥🚫 We’ve had a brave change in the weather this week here in Park, and the dogs are absolutely loving the sunshine.

​The Sperrins are looking well in the background, and while it’s usually "four seasons in one day" around here, we’re actually due a right decent stretch of sun. They’re saying it could hit 20°C by the weekend, brilliant!

​The garden is the place to be today. No mucking about in the rain, just plenty of lounging, a bit of a mooch, and some happy heads soaking up the rays.
These lot are far too comfortable to be doing anything else!

​If you’re looking for someone to keep an eye on your pup while you’re out enjoying the sun (or stuck at work!), give me a shout. Our diary’s filling up fast for the summer stays!

Why We Do Trials 🛡️🐾

​We often get asked, "Can I just drop my dog off today?" While we’d love to meet every pup immediately, we require a Trial Day for every new member of the Furbabies family. Here is why:

​1. The "Vibe" Check
Not every dog enjoys a group environment, and that’s okay! A trial allows us to see if your dog feels happy and confident in a pack setting, or if they find it overwhelming. We prioritise their emotional comfort above all else.

​2. Protecting the Pack
Our current daycare residents trust us to keep their "safe space" safe. We assess new dogs for any signs of aggression or extreme reactivity to ensure the harmony of the group remains intact.

​3. Building Trust
A trial day allows your dog to meet us and explore the smells and sounds of the facility without the pressure of an overnight stay. It ensures that when you do leave them, they recognise Furbabies as a fun, familiar place.

​4. Personalised Care

During the trial, we learn your dog’s personality. Do they love wrestling? Are they a "ball-only" player? Do they prefer humans over dogs? This helps us give them the best experience possible.

Additional settling in days may be required before an extended overnight stay.

Trials are free and carried out on a weekday, drop off at 10am and collect 1 hour later.

New here? Welcome to the pack! 🐾✨

​At Furbabies, we’re more than just a daycare/boarding facility —we’re a second home for your four-legged best friends.

​What’s the Furbabies vibe?
Imagine a place where your dog gets to hang out with their besties all day, supervised by people who speak "dog."

We offer:
✅ Structured Daycare
✅ Social Boarding
✅ Endless Cuddles

​The Group Care Advantage:
Why go social? Because a socialised dog is a happy dog!

🐕 Group settings provide:

🌟 Confidence: Watching shy pups blossom is our favorite thing.

🌟 Exercise: More fun than a solo walk!

🌟 Safe Play: Professionally managed interactions in a secure space.

​We do this because we know how hard it is to leave your pup behind. Our goal is to make Furbabies the highlight of their week/year!

​Check out our daily stories to see the fun in action. 📸

Welcome to the Furbabies Family! 🐾

​Hi everyone! Whether you’ve been with us for years or just found us, we wanted to share a little more about what makes Furbabies so special and unique.

​What We Do:

We provide premium doggy daycare and overnight boarding in a social, cage-free group environment. We aren't a traditional kennel; we are a dedicated space where your pups can live their best lives while you’re at work or away.

​Why We Do It:
Because we believe dogs are family. We started Furbabies because we saw a need for a place that prioritises a dog’s emotional well-being as much as their physical safety. Our mission is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is being loved and stimulated.

​Why Group Care?

​Mental Enrichment: Boredom leads to mischief! Group play keeps their minds sharp.

​Natural Socialisation: Dogs are social animals. Learning to communicate and play with others builds immense confidence.

​Physical Health: Constant movement and supervised play mean a tired, happy pup at pick-up time.

​The "Home" Feel: No lonely nights in a cold run. Our boarding guests enjoy the comfort of a group setting that mimics a real home environment.

​We’d love to meet your furry friend! Send us a message to chat about our free trials. 🐶✨

Aww, look at wee Freddie! He’s an absolute cracker, so he is. 🐾 Back for his regular runabout and lookin' dead on standing among all the autumn leaves. It’s some craic having this big fella 'round. He's always ready for a bit of a scamper! Sure, what else would you be at? 😉

​We love having our regulars back! If you're needing a trustworthy dog sitter in the Derry area, give us a wee bell!

Right, so the Furbabies are in for their summer holidays, and the craic is mighty! ☀️

It's a full house, and they're all at it, so they are.

​We've got the 'Gonnae Take My Photo?' brigade, who are absolutely loving the limelight. Look at the state of them, all smiles and posing like they're on their holidays in Ibiza.

​Then there's the 'Any Chance of a Wee Bite?' crowd. The hope in their eyes is strong, so it is. We've had to buy extra bags of treats.

​And of course, the 'Where's the Ball?' lunatics. They're on a mission, and a serious one at that. We've lost more tennis balls this week than I can count.

​We'll be sending them home with a full belly and the soul of a wee Derry ma, full of stories and ready for a good sit down.
