The best daycare for my little one! When my toy cavoodle Honey first joined B&H 6 months ago she was suffering with severe separation anxiety. Fer & the team at B&H could honestly have not been more supportive! From effective and practical dog training advice to cuddles throughout the day, Honey would not be where she is now without the team at B&H keeping her stimulated while I am at work!

Honey attends B&H twice a week now and she runs in the front door, forgetting her mum is even there to drop her off! A far cry from where we were when we first joined Bones and Harmony.

All of the staff at Bones & Harmony are dog lovers, whisperers and genuinely passionate about what they do. Can't recommend them more!! <3

Zoe 5 months ago

My two dogs love going to Bones and Harmony! They go three days a week and I know they are being well taken care of. They get so excited when we turn onto the street in the morning!

The staff are lovely, the opening times are great for drop off and pick up. It makes such a difference to us, knowing they are well looked after and occupied during the days we’re working.

Stephen 5 months ago

Started bringing my dog Peggy here 3 years ago when she was 4 months old for some puppy socialisation and she loved it so much that she’s gone twice per week ever since, and she is a better dog because of it. Staff are amazing and care for my fur child like she is their own. Can’t recommend highly enough!

BARC, Bali

RSPCA Cupcake Day

Good to know

Do dogs need vaccinations?

Yes. All dogs must be up to date with C5 vaccinations, or equivalent, to keep everyone safe and healthy.

What should I bring on the first day?

Just your pup on a lead, their food if they need it, and any special instructions. We have the treats and comfy beds sorted.

How do you group the dogs?

By size, temperament and energy, so every dog feels safe, comfortable and involved.
