A new dogcare centre is "excited to launch" a new 'school bus' service to make dog daycare more accessible for busy owners.

Hounds Daycare, located just outside Ashby in the picturesque woodlands of Lount, has introduced the new service which will see pets collected in the morning and taken to daycare to enjoy "plenty of care and enrichment".

Owners can even pack food in their 'school bag' to make sure they are fed during the day.

And Hounds will even help get your pooch back home at the end of the day, using your key safe to let the dog back in so it is ready and waiting.

Kirsti Williams, the owner and visionary behind Hounds said: "We know that life can be hectic for so many reasons, and we wanted to create a solution that fits into people's lives.

"For example, we have clients who work for the NHS and love the idea of daycare for their dogs but struggled to make it work with our usual opening hours.

"With this new service, they can drop their dog off in the morning before their long shift, knowing their dog will have a fun, enriching day.

"When they come home, their happy, tired dog is ready to greet them.

"The service is perfect for anyone juggling a busy schedule—whether you're out with the kids for the day or simply don't have time to drop off and pick up your dog.

"When you return, you'll find a happy, well-rested pup who's had a fantastic day.

"This service is all about making life easier for dog owners while ensuring dogs get the care and attention they deserve.
