Happy exhausted dogs!
We have been Bruce's Ditchling customers since they opened and love the service we received from them. Both dogs come home exhausted and happy. Often still a bit muddy, but that's to be expected with dog ownership!
The last year has clearly been challenging for the team and we have seen huge improvements in communication and information sharing which has been appreciated. Thank you to the team for keeping our dogs happy.

My Tuppence loves Bruce's
From the initial taster session, my little Parson, Tuppence, shows every sign of loving her time at Bruce's. The care given by Abi, her 'chauffeur', to Sam (with Holly) in the puppy group to her graduation to playtime has been fantastic. She's a sociable little soul and I'm sure this has been nurtured whilst at daycare. Formal trainers may repel in horror at the thought of daycare but I know what makes my girl a well-rounded dog. She returns in the afternoon happy, contented and nicely tired.....thank you.

Hi Julie,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heart-warming review.
It’s been a real pleasure getting to know Tuppence, and we’re delighted to hear how much she’s enjoying her time with us - from her very first taster session through to her weekly playtime. Knowing she comes home happy, content, and nicely tired is exactly what we hope for. It’s also lovely to hear how her sociable nature has flourished along the way!
Thank you for trusting Bruce’s with your little Parson and for your kind words - they mean a great deal to the whole team.

This is my THIRD review after the first two were both removed by Bruce’s (so would take these reviews with a pinch of salt as so many are deleted!). We had very negatives experiences and regret sending our dog there. Conditions were not as advertised either.

Fun and safe environment run by a team of caring dog lovers!
My two little shih tzus, Millie & Sid have been going to Bruces since they were puppies. They get so excited to head off for their day of fun at Bruces Surrey Hills. The mere mention of their much loved driver Izzy, has both of them racing to the door to wait for her arrival. They absolutely love her and she takes such good care of them. When they get home they are absolutely shattered and curl up to sleep after their fun filled day.
I love seeing the photos of what they've been up, clearly having lots of fun and being well cared for by the team. It's great to know that whilst I'm at work, my dogs are having fun and being well looked after by a team who genuinely love dogs!

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for the five stars!
It’s an absolute joy to hear how excited Millie & Sid are for their days with us - and the fact that the mention of Izzy sends them racing to the door really made us smile (we'll be sure to pass this over to Izzy too!). Knowing they feel so safe, happy, and cared for means everything to our team... and a fun-filled day followed by a well-earned snooze sounds just perfect!
We’re also so glad you enjoy seeing our weekly puparazzi photos and updates while you’re at work. It’s really important to us that you feel reassured knowing your dogs are having a great time with people who genuinely love what they do.
Thank you for trusting Bruce’s Surrey Hills with Millie & Sid, we’re very lucky to have them as part of our pack.

Shocking customer service
Shocking customer service. Bruce’s say they offer “all day” care. In reality it is 8-3pm. Sent communications about cessation of service 15th Jan saying “rest assured we are committed to offering service until 27th Feb”. Today (3rd Feb) said they would in fact not be living up to that written commitment and are ending their service on 6th Feb: Just 3 days notice. Purport to care about dogs. Their actions speak louder than their words. Be warned,

Antwort von Bruce's Doggy Day Care
Hi Helen,
We’re genuinely sorry for the disruption you’ve experienced following our decision to close the Country Hills centre. We know how unsettling changes to a dog’s routine can be, and we understand the frustration this has caused.
When we confirmed the planned closure date of 27th February, our intention was to continue operating services until then wherever it was safe and responsible to do so. Unfortunately, due to unexpected staffing changes in the final weeks, we were no longer able to run all services safely up to that date. In those circumstances, we made the difficult decision to bring services to an earlier close rather than compromise on care standards.
We appreciate that this resulted in much shorter notice than we would ever want to give, and we’re truly sorry for the impact this had on you and your dog. The decision was driven solely by welfare and safety considerations, which remain at the heart of how we operate at Bruce's.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Thanks,
The Bruce’s Team
An unprofessional business focused on profit, that cannot be trusted
For over six years my dog attended Bruce's Country Hills, including its predecessor, Buddies Doggy Daycare. Buddies was a very well run service, operated by people who clearly loved their job and loved the animals they cared for. Bruce's acquisition of Buddies has been a complete disaster. The company seems only to care about profits, and has shown a complete disregard for its employees and those who use the service. Since the acquisition, staff has seemed progressively unhappy, service standards have become progressively worse (shorter days at the centre, dogs apparently not washed, etc). It was not too much of a surprise when, on 15th January, I received an email to tell me that Bruce's Country Hills was closing. I had wanted to change service for some time, unhappy with the service, and concerned about the care my dog was receiving, but I had put it off - partly because of the inconvenience of changing, and partly because of the staff who relied on Bruce's for their job. This email made the decision for me. In the email, I was told "After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close our Bruce's Country Hills day care centre, with our final day of service being 27th February 2026." It went on to say "Please be reassured that our full, normal service will continue right up until 27th February 2026, and our team remains completely committed to providing the same love and care your dogs enjoy every day." Since then, I received no communication (no calls to express their apology, nothing in a letter, no check that I had actually received their email) until this afternoon, on 3rd February 2026, when I was told "As a result of this business restructure, we can no longer provide daycare services at your location from 6th February 2026" and went on to say "We have explored every possible option to continue the service, but the unique pressures of operating during this time, means we can no longer collect [dog's name], meaning their last day with us, will be this Friday 6th February". To give just three days notice, and to leave customers in the lurch like this is just the type of unprofessionalism I have come to expect from Bruce's. I have been a loyal customer for over six years,having kept my dog with the service through Covid, but it seems all this company cares about is profit. I strongly urge you not to entrust your dog to this company. They might reassure you, but these reassurances cannot be relied upon - there seems to be very limited ethical concern. I hope the employees find new, more rewarding jobs, quickly, but this company should not be in business.

Oliver loves going to Bruce's at Surrey Hills
Oliver loves going to Bruce's Doggy Day Care, I wish I’d started him sooner. He adores his driver Izzy - always ready to pounce for cuddles before getting on the doggy bus and he always comes back absolutely knackered.
The whole team are just excellent - especially Jane and Simon. They are always happy to help, ensuring any specific concerns or requirements are met and communication is always 100%.
Another added bonus is seeing the weekly pictures, it’s so reassuring to see how much Oliver is enjoying his time ! I would highly recommend Bruce's Doggy Day Care Surrey Hills to anyone. ☺️

a Fun day at Bruce`s doggy day care with my friends
My lovely cockapoo was at under a year old a timid and suffered with separation anxiety from me .Going to Bruces day care was initially just to get me through surgery which meant i could not walk him. It became a new way of life and was self healing for my lovely boy with each visit gaining confidence and the staff were amazing .
Every visit when he is collected he meets the driver with total confidence , photos of his day are shared and i know he is in safe hands . A wonderful team WONDERFUL
