About us
Mabel & Friends Day Retreat is a home away from home. Our team is made up entirely of high qualified and experienced dog lovers, so when your dogs visit us they become part of our family for a day. Our priority is providing an environment that’s comfortable, safe and stimulating, so they go home with their tails wagging.
Pampering for your pooch
What sets us apart is our comprehensive offering of services, all available under one roof. Being a member of Mabel & Friends not only gives you access to the best equipped dog day care in the area, but all the extra little touches that make each visit extra special – from free nail clipping when you’re booked in for a full day, to free seminars and workshops for pawrents throughout the year.
Each day is structured so that our guests get the most out of their time with us. Our schedule strikes the perfect balance between engaging play and downtime, making sure that they have a chance to relax and catch their breath between all the excitement.
We also offer breed-specific parties, as well as puppy parties, giving your pooch the perfect opportunity to socialise and make new friends.
Our facility
Luxury dog retreat
Mabel & Friends is home to a generously sized and excellently equipped day centre that features a wealth of indoor and outdoor activity space. We have over 2,600 sq ft of secure indoor space and over half an acre of secure grassed area outdoors, meaning there’s more than enough space for our guests to sniff out and explore while they play and stretch their legs.
We have a fully qualified team that operates on a maximum staff:dog ratio of 1:8. This ensures that they’re able to deliver a high standard of care across the board, and keeps levels of attention consistent across all of our guests. We also have a good understanding of the specialist care of Brachycephalic breeds including Pug, English and French Bulldog, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso.
