Shiremoor Dog Owners Choose Delaval Daycare

From Shiremoor it is usually about 12 to 15 minutes by car, taking the A1058 and A19 on a clear route through Backworth. It is an easy run that fits well into a commute. Many local owners drop off on the way past in the morning.

Yes, and that is exactly why so many Shiremoor owners use us. Sitting right next to the Cobalt and Silverlink working hubs, you can leave the dog with us on the way past, do your day, and walk the Silverlink trails together in the evening. It takes the worry out of leaving your dog alone during long working hours.

Shiremoor sits among reclaimed colliery land turned into nature parks like Silverlink Biodiversity Park and West Allotment Pond, so your dog is used to open space and exercise. A day with us keeps that energy up through supervised outdoor play and enrichment in small groups. Your dog comes home tired and content rather than restless.

Yes, all dogs must be up to date with their core vaccinations and we check proof at the first assessment. It is a simple step that keeps every dog in the group safe. Your vet can confirm if anything is outstanding.

Yes, every new dog comes for a free assessment first. We use it to meet your dog, see how they get on with others and answer your questions. There is no obligation to book further days.

We keep groups small and matched by size and temperament so play is calm and supervision is close. We never run one big uncontrolled crowd. This is a big part of why busy commuter families trust us with their dogs.

Yes, we offer overnight boarding in the same familiar setting as daycare, with the same faces and routine. That means an overnight stay feels relaxed rather than strange for your dog. All boarders are assessed beforehand so nights stay settled.

Please bring their vaccination record, their usual food if they are eating with us, and any medication with clear instructions. A familiar toy or their own bedding helps them settle, especially for boarding. Let us know about any habits so we can keep them comfortable.

Anxious dogs tend to do well with us because the groups stay small and we introduce new dogs gradually. We give shy dogs quiet rest areas and gentle one to one attention rather than overwhelming them. The free assessment lets us see how your dog copes and plan their days to suit.

Yes, we are fully insured and our carers are first aid trained, so your dog is in safe, prepared hands. That reassurance matters when you are at work all day. We are happy to explain how we keep dogs safe whenever you ask.

Yes, we share updates so you know your dog is happy and settled while you are out. It is a welcome reassurance during a long shift. Just let us know if you would like a quick check in.
