We want the government to review and strengthen legislation and licensing requirements for dog daycare, boarding, walking, and training services. Promote responsible business practices and provide dog owners with the reassurance that anyone caring for their pet meets the highest welfare standards.

💯 100% No Injury Rate — Can Your Daycare Say That?

Since announcing our reopening, we’ve been inundated with enquiries — and permanent slots are already filling up fast.

Here’s why…

In all our time running LCA Daycare, not a single dog has ever needed a trip to the vet from being in our care.
No stitches.
No bite wounds.
No “it just happened so fast” moments.

How many other daycares can match that record?

It’s not luck — it’s the result of how we work:

🐾 Accredited trainers and behaviour specialists supervising every group.
🐾 Dedicated enrichment lead to keep dogs fulfilled, not frantic.
🐾 Strict 1:8 staff-to-dog ratio — we’d rather cap numbers than compromise safety.
🐾 Behaviour-led groupings so dogs are matched by temperament, not just thrown together.
🐾 All staff first aid trained and regularly upskilled through CPD.
🐾 Structured days with rest, training, and enrichment to avoid over-arousal.
🐾 Welfare over profit — if your dog isn’t thriving, we’ll tell you.

We’re not the cheapest, because safety and expertise aren’t cheap.
If you want bargain basement prices, you’ll get bargain basement care — and that’s when accidents happen.

📅 Permanent spaces are limited and going quickly. Book your behaviour assessment now to secure your spot before they’re gone.

Anyone who is looking for a new dog walker or day care due to K9 kingdom having their licence revoked I would urge you to do your home work. K9 kingdom will more than likely be re branding and using different names. Please check any new business. Ask yourself where did they work before? And how long did they work there for? Some staff are just as guilty as Nicki

🐾 If only one of us is there (not often) we reduce to 6 dogs
🐾 Pick-up & drop-off included
🐾 Dogs never share cages in the van unless they live together
🐾 Each dog is usually out for around 2 hours total
🐾 Safety is always our top priority!!

We’re expanding our services in September!
Two group sessions a day
Swimming Club on Friday mornings – fun, enrichment, and great for joints!

Pricing:
£16 per session
Discounts available for regular slots, ask for details!

📣 Potential Reopening of LCA Doggy Daycare – Register Your Interest

In light of the recent closure of a local doggy daycare and the reduction in hours at another, we’ve been approached by several owners asking if we’d consider reopening our own.

At this stage, we’re simply exploring the possibility. While nothing is confirmed, we want to gauge genuine interest from our community.

If we move forward, the daycare would be overseen by myself to ensure it meets LCA’s high welfare and training standards. However, we would also be looking to recruit the right experienced and qualified person to manage the day-to-day operations.

If you’d be interested in a space for your dog or would like to be kept in the loop, please comment below or send us a message.

Your feedback will help shape the decision. 🐾
