What if my dog dislikes travelling?

We endeavour to manage your dog's travelling needs with dog beds and towels inside the dog wagon, which is sanitised every morning.

Is transport safe?

The customised van includes air circulation and non-slip rubber matting to help keep dogs secure and comfortable in transit.

Can my dog walk off lead?

Only with written owner consent, and only where the location, conditions and recall make it appropriate.

What does my dog need?

Dogs should be up to date with vaccinations and must wear an identity tag, which is a legal requirement.

Do you offer daycare?

Yes. Half-day and full-day daycare are available to book, depending on availability and whether the setting suits your dog.
