"“Honestly, I was only planning to send Piglet to Paws & Pause for a few months so he could socialise. It’s now become an essential part of our week"
Piglet's owner
The most welcoming, friendliest staff, looking after Rufus – my cockapoo – while he socialises with plenty of other furry friends on action-packed days at Paws & Pause. Not to mention the flexibility of finding the best solution for any needs a busy dog owner can have. Highly recommended!!
Rufus's owner
"We love P&P! Our pup has been coming here since he was tiny and now attends regularly once a week. We love the service and we love being kept up to date through the day on what they’re up to. The staff not only love dogs but are trained and knowledgeable in what they do. Would 100% recommend."
Sarah W. & Otto
My dog loves coming to P&P - he literally drags me there every week. The staff are so friendly and do a really good job in looking after the dogs and keeping them happy. When the dog comes home he is exhausted from all the fun and games he's had during the day - such a bonus to have a quiet evening!
Mike & Stanley
I cannot recommend Paws & Pause highly enough! My dog, Ziggy, has been attending this wonderful facility since he was a puppy, and I can honestly say it's been a fantastic experience for both of us.
From the moment he first stepped through the doors, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. They truly prioritise the well-being and happiness of every dog in their care.
