Bella Paws - doggy daycare and puppy creche

Puppy Crèche

We are extremely happy to say we have been awarded ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ by Thurrock Borough Council under the new Animal Welfare Regulations

Since its launch in 2019, our Puppy Crèche has been a beloved space where little paws find big adventures.

Specifically designed: To cater to all your puppy’s needs, our crèche offers a safe and stimulating environment filled with exciting experiences such as :

  • Climbing structures for exploration and fun.
  • Hidden treasures to search for.
  • Splashing in a puppy pool.
  • Diggin in the sand to discover hidden toys.
  • Mentally stimulating puzzles, games, snuffle mats, licks mats and lots more!

We also provide a cozy sleep area, perfect for recharging after all the excitement. If needed, we can offer a lunchtime feed to keep those tiny tummies happy.

Socialisation & Playtime

Your puppy will have the chance to play and socialise under the watchful eye of our experienced team. They will learn to interact with other puppies and junior dogs safely, building confidence and social skills in a nurturing environment.

Exclusive Puppy Play Area

Our puppies enjoy their own dedicated indoor & outdoor play section featuring:

  • Artificial grass and shaded outdoor areas, perfect for all weather conditions.
  • Fun play equipment and plenty of toys.
  • Direct access to an indoor area with more toys, a cosy sofa and puppy sized beds.

From a safe distance, puppies can observe our adult dogs, helping them become familiar with older dogs and encouraging positive interactions. They also have access to our larger artificial grass paddock through their own private door, a favourite spot for zoomies and exploration.

When Can Puppies Join?

Puppies are welcome as soon as they’ve received all their vaccinations and are allowed to go outside. They can enjoy the puppy crèche until they’re about 6 to 10months old, depending on their size and breed. After completing their time in the puppy crèche, they’ll graduate to our adult daycare, with even bigger play areas and climbing frames to explore!

Safety & Requirements

to ensure the safety and well-being of all puppies in our care, we kindly ask for the following:

  • Initial Assessment:
  • Health Requirements: All puppies must be fully vaccinated, including kennel cough protection, and follow a worming and flea control program. Proof of vaccinations is required and will be kept on file.
  • Health Check: We reserve the right to turn away puppies showing signs of illness. Puppies with diarrhoea and or sickness must be cleared by a vet before returning.
  • Age & Neutering Policy: We welcome puppies up to 10 months, depending on breed and size. Male Puppies will need to be neutered as they mature. Female puppies cannot attend during a heat cycle.
  • Forms & Agreements: All owners must complete a registration form and T&C’s before their puppy can attend our puppy crèche.
