About

The Dog Den runs a network of dog daycare centres across northern Auckland, with its Takapuna site on Barrys Point Road close to the motorway. Dogs rotate through several supervised play areas throughout the day, each designed for different temperament and activity levels, on rubberised flooring with outdoor equipment and sleeping platforms. All new dogs complete a free meet-and-greet session before their first full day. VIP Gold passes for frequent attenders reduce the per-day rate, and a Silverdale location serves the Hibiscus Coast.

Our sweet boy Gomi has been going to TDDT since he was 4 months old. He loves going 2-3 times a week! He cant wait to get out of the car when we park and is sound asleep on the way home after a full day of playing with his mates. We recommend them to all our friends. Thanks for taking good care of our baby 🙂

We have been sending our Spoodle Libby to the Dog Den for around 2 years and we wouldn’t send her anywhere else. We absolutely love it and so does she! Libby can’t wait to run in when we drop her off and all the handlers are so lovely. We love seeing the photos that are uploaded every day. It’s so nice for us to know she is being well looked after whilst we’re at work. It’s always easy to book slots in and everyone is so helpful. Libby has also stayed overnight at the boarding facility and we couldn’t recommend more. I always recommend TDD to anyone I meet with a dog! 10/10!!

It's really hard to find a groomer that does Golden Retirevers properly, but I just found the jackpot with these guys! So grateful for the care with which you treated my King child with.. he's picky about who touches his paws, but now seems to trust you. 🙏

I can’t recommend The Dog Den Takapuna highly enough! My 9-month-old labradoodle has been going there since she was old enough, and it’s been such a positive experience for both of us. The team are incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. From day one, they made sure my pup Luna felt safe, happy and never overwhelmed – and it shows! She absolutely loves going and gets so excited when we arrive. Its so nice knowing she’s in great hands and having a blast while I’m at work. Thank you to everyone at The Dog Den for creating such a welcoming and enriching environment – we’re so lucky to have you in our community!

Baxter our Golden retriever has been going to Dog Den for most of his life. He’s now a senior dog and still LOVES going to daycare. The staff are so loving and friendly to him and we know he is safe and well cared for. They will always let us know how he’s been and if he has been a bit off. They are flexible and understanding if we need to make changes to days he attends. They feel like part of our family and we’re grateful for the care they show our furbaby ❤️
