Perfect Pet Services - Doggy Daycare Centre & Secure Dog Field

A dedicated dog daycare centre just outside Chepstow might sound like an odd entry in a travel guide, but if you're bringing your pooch on holiday to Monmouthshire, it's genuinely useful to know about. Perfect Pet Services runs both supervised daycare and a secure field where dogs can burn off energy while you're off exploring the wider area.

The appeal here is straightforward: you won't feel guilty leaving your dog behind while you visit nearby attractions. The secure field means your dog gets proper exercise and socialisation without the stress of kennels. Real dog parents get that. If you're staying at Penhein Glamping just up the road - a cracking spot for a countryside break - having somewhere reliable to tire your dog out during the day opens up your itinerary considerably.

Contrary to what you might think, this isn't just for anxious dogs. Active breeds especially benefit from the space and company. An hour or two here and they'll sleep soundly while you tackle the local pubs or take a proper walk through the Wye Valley without your dog overheating in the car.

Do ring ahead to check current hours and whether they need advance booking - details weren't available online when researching. Costs vary depending on how long you need cover, but daycare services are typically reasonable. Worth investigating if you're planning a multi-day park holiday in the area and want flexibility about where your dog spends daylight hours.
