DENTAL & NAIL CARE
Trimming your dog's nails is an important grooming task that helps them stay happy and healthy. When you don't clip your dog's nails, they can end up growing too long, which can cause problems. The benefits of routine dental hygiene include reduced bad breath, better overall health, decreased pain, increased longevity, and reduced pet healthcare bills down the road.

Our dog loves every moment he spends with the Dogfather team! We are so happy and grateful to have found this incredible doggy day care and dog walking team!
Rachel Ransley
Great. Humphrey loves his weekly day out with the Dogfather. He can’t wait to get out whenever Laia rings at the door, and best of all he conks out in the evening.
Mark T
I cannot recommend the Dogfather enough for Daycare and boarding. We have a miniature dachshund called Stewie who regularly attends Daycare and absolutely loves it, he is always so well looked after and looks like he has the best time.
Nicola de Pear
Our boy LOVES the Dogfather, especially Laia. It's so nice seeing how happy he is when that knock on the door comes, literally no stopping him once they come to get him. The service reports, which we call his school reports- are brilliant, so thank you to the team at the dogfather, they make our day.
Mark Mitchell
I cannot recommend The Dogfather, Dom and his team highly enough. They are incredibly professional and all the handlers are great. Their booking service is efficient and if I ever have any last minute requests they do everything possible to accommodate my change of plans. My GSP is their biggest fan!
