A new soft play centre for dogs has opened in Shildon, County Durham. Owner Ashley Bennett has launched Zoomies Dog Soft Play, in Unit 9 at the Dabble Duck Industrial Estate, after spending six months transforming an empty industrial unit. The facility, which offers 50-minute exclusive bookings, has two separate play spaces with staggered sessions to reduce the chances of dogs seeing one another. Bennett told The Northern Echo: “Zoomies has been created as a fun, safe, and private indoor space where dogs can play, explore, and spend quality time with their owners, whatever the weather.” Do you have news for The Canine Times?
