Too Hot to Trot! 🥵☀️

​It’s 40°C in Stellenbosch today, so we’ve officially moved the party inside!

We’re skipping the field runs in favor of:
​❄️ Chilled indoor playtime
​💦 Shallow swims & splash zones
​🧊 Ice-treat enrichment
​🌳 100% shade & AC

​The safety of your fur-babies is our #1 priority. We’ll be monitoring everyone closely while they enjoy their "spa day" indoors! 🐾✨

Applying for the position of Regional Branch Manager 🪵🐾

​At Soco’s, we believe in teamwork—even if that means three dogs trying to carry one stick! There’s never a dull moment when the pack finds the "perfect" trophy in the yard.

Greyson is our top performing branch manager.

Beat the heat? Mission accomplished. 🐾

💦 We hit the dam early this morning to get ahead of the sun, and the whole pack got in on the action! There’s nothing better than a wet dog and a happy heart on a hot day.

Soco was also out enjoying the water today!

16 years of love. 16 years of Soco. 🐾

​Today is a milestone we don’t take lightly.

Soco, the heart and soul behind Soco’s Doggie Daycare, is celebrating his 16th birthday! 🎂

Soco's Doggie Daycare - a promise to treat every dog who walks through our doors with the same love I have for my best friend.
He’s the reason we do what we do, and the reason we love what we do.

​Happy Birthday to the dog who started it all.

We love you, Toeks! ❤️

☀️ STELLENBOSCH IS SIZZLING! ☀️

​Stellenbosch is glowing today, but for our furry friends, this heat is a silent killer! 🐾

Since we are closed today, we wanted to share this vital reminder to keep your pups safe and chill at home. 🧊🏡

​🌡️ The 10-Minute Reality Check
In this weather, your car is not a vehicle; it’s an oven! 🚗🔥

​At 30°C outside, the inside of your car hits 40°C in just 10 minutes. *Even with windows cracked. 🪟 ​Even in the shade. 🌳

If you are running errands, please leave your best friend at home in the cool! They’d much rather be napping on the tiles! 💤

​🐾 Would You Walk Barefoot?
The asphalt in the Winelands absorbs heat all day. 🍇 If you can't hold your palm to the road for 7 seconds, it will blister and tear your dog’s paw pads! 🖐️🔥

​Rule of thumb: No walks between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. 🚫🐕‍🦺

​Stick to the grass or the tiles! 🌱

​🍦 Pro-Tip: Want to be a hero? Make some "Pupsicles!" 🧊 Freeze some chicken broth or peanut butter in an ice tray for a tasty way to keep them hydrated! 👅🐾

​Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the Sunday shade! 🥤🍦
