Doggy daycare opens in Hatfield Peverel

A new doggy daycare centre has opened in Hatfield Peverel, Essex.

Mabel & Friends Day Retreat offers services including grooming, personalised training sessions and allergy testing, as well as bespoke canine nutritional consultations, and veterinary nurse visits.

The retreat recently achieved a Higher Standards licence to trade and provides a range of facilities including play areas, resting zones, and outdoor space.

The centre offers a range of transportation options, including pick-up and drop-off services to and from Witham and Beaulieu Park train station.

Owner Annette Hurst, who set up Mabel & Friends after leaving her corporate career, told the Braintree & Witham Times: “Our number one priority at Mabel & Friends is to provide an environment that’s comfortable, safe and stimulating.”

She added: “Thanks to our achievement of receiving a Higher Standards licence to trade, my hope is that this centre will become a trusted haven for dogs and their owners.”
