About

The Dogchester VIPooch Experience

A dog holiday with a little extra magic.

Beautiful themed suites, thoughtful experiences and more moments for you to enjoy from home — all tailored around the dog at the heart of it.

More personal. More memorable.

VIP is luxury with genuine care behind it.

The VIPooch Experience is for dogs who would enjoy a little more indulgence during their Dogchester holiday — and for families who love seeing every wonderful moment unfold.

It combines a themed VIP suite with extra daily updates, carefully chosen enrichment, memorable dinner experiences and a calming bedtime indulgence. Every detail is designed around your dog’s personality, confidence and preferences.

A thoughtfully planned stay

The four ingredients of a VIPooch holiday.

Every VIP itinerary is flexible. We choose what is most likely to make your individual dog feel happy, comfortable and fulfilled on the day.

01

Enrichment

Sniffing, problem-solving, exploring, foraging and activities that let dogs enjoy their natural instincts.

02

Adventure

Nature walks, field time, recall fun, confidence-building and carefully managed outdoor experiences.

03

Dinner dates

Mealtimes turned into a lovely experience, from enrichment feeding to special in-room Dinner Party moments.

04

Wind-down time

Gentle evening rituals that help dogs relax, settle and feel safe before a peaceful night’s sleep.

A taste of a VIPooch week

A seven-day holiday full of variety.

A longer VIP stay can include a lovely mixture of adventures, enrichment, dinner experiences and calming evening indulgences.

This is an example VIPooch itinerary. Activities are selected around each dog’s personality, needs and how they are feeling on the day, rather than being a fixed promise of exact activities.

No cookie-cutter itineraries

Fun looks different for every dog.

Some dogs will adore an active adventure. Others are happiest with a quiet scent game, a cosy cuddle, a gentle massage or extra rest in their suite.

That is why we do not force a rigid activity checklist. We use our knowledge of your dog, their Trial Night and how they are coping each day to offer the experiences most likely to be positive for them.

The best kind of luxury is never about doing more. It is about doing what is right for the dog in front of us.
Treat them to the VIPooch experience

Let your dog’s holiday be every bit as special as yours.

All guests start with a Trial Night, so we can get to know them and plan the right Dogchester stay.
