Dog day care with a difference - Supporting people with additional needs to interact with dogs
About Us
The Dogs Squad was established in 2020 by Lisa, who sought to blend her passion for dogs with her long-standing commitment to supporting individuals with additional needs. Inspired by a dream to create a nurturing environment for pets and people, Lisa launched a unique dog daycare that prioritises the well-being of every dog while fostering an inclusive community for people. Focusing on providing exceptional care and enriching experiences, The Dogs Squad is dedicated to ensuring every furry friend enjoys a safe, fun, and engaging environment while also serving as a supportive space for families and individuals in the community.
