Canine daycare centre celebrates in style

A Shropshire daycare centre and luxury hotel for dogs is celebrating its third birthday in style by announcing a new £30,000 grooming facility.

K9 Anytime, which is run by Tom Haynes and Luke Bird, has launched a whole new pampering experience for canines that will give them access to walk-in marble baths, soft flow shower heads and exclusive use of industry leading products from the makers of internationally-renowned hairdressing products.

The unique ‘spa experience’ is the latest in a number of innovations the duo have introduced to its Higford-based business, which now looks after 40 dogs every day and is regularly booked up for overnight stays.

Over £125,000 has been spent on transforming a barn conversion into a venue that provides outdoor and indoor play areas for essential socialisation, exercise, mental, social and physical stimulation for dogs of all ages and breeds.

It has also been open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with the company offering flexible hours for key workers and, through its Doggy Isolation Activity Boxes, it successfully raised in excess of £500 towards vital PPE for the NHS in Shropshire.
