The Team @ Hairy Hounds Playground
 
Hairy Hounds Playground was established in March 2007 by Nat to enable dog owners to have a safe, fun and affordable place for their dogs to be cared for, groomed, trained and to buy dog food, treats and accessories all in one place, a one stop doggy shop!!

Meet the team at Hairy Hounds Playground – we all have a genuine love of animals, particularly dogs and are all dog owners!
