Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 08:20 · Archive

K9 Anytime, a Telford dog daycare firm, is investing £150,000 in new facilities including swimming pools.

K9 Anytime, a dog daycare and hotel specialist founded in 2015 by university friends Tom Haynes and Luke Bird, is investing £150,000 in expansion. The investment includes new swimming facilities at its Weston Park location and an additional five acres at its original Higford site to enhance outdoor experiences.

The swimming facilities are available to dogs attending K9 Anytime and to members of the public. An induction is completed to assess each dog's confidence and swimming ability, with owners able to book dedicated sessions or swimming time as part of the wider care package. The founders believe swimming is a life skill for dogs and can help them build confidence while providing controlled, lower-impact exercise.

Tom Haynes, co-founder, said the investment is part of a larger evolution of the business. He explained that K9 Anytime has expanded beyond daycare to offer training, grooming, nutrition, retail and swimming services. The firm encourages its team to assess each dog's individual needs and work with owners on support, diet, leisure and stimulation. The Shropshire Star reports that the firm is also looking to add a third site to its growing business.
