An enrichment activity centre and indoor dog park based in Glasgow!

Book now

Welcome to The Dug and Bone

We're an indoor dog park in Glasgow especially designed for dogs, aka soft play for your furbabies!

Based in East Kilbride, we pride ourselves on creating a fun and enriching environment where dogs and their owners can enjoy spending time together, whatever the weather 🙌

What we provide

The Dug and Bone is designed around the four “E”s: exercise, exploration, enrichment and entertainment, and our fully enclosed and secure 2600 sq ft space will ensure that even the most talented Hound-inis (sorry) stay safely inside.

Exercise

Say goodbye to boring pavement walks or trying to navigate muddy puddles and slippy leaves, your dog can play fetch, run around off lead and try out our agility equipment for all of their exercise needs.

Exploration

Did you know that sniffing and exploring new smells can tire dogs out as much as a long walk? Sniffing is vital for a happy and contented dog and a visit to our Exploration Zone, where we’ve brought the outdoors in, will provide them with more scents and smells than they can shake a stick at.

Enrichment

Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise for dogs - when dogs are bored they tend to create their own entertainment, which is usually code for destroying most of your prized possessions. Our Paws for Thought corner (I know) has a range of puzzle games and toys which will leave them scratching their heads for hours.

Entertainment

Give your dogs a chance to play and socialise with other dogs! This is an opportunity to let them off their leads and play with each other in a fully secure environment whilst you can enjoy a coffee and a chat with other owners. If your dog prefers to play with dogs their own size, we run specific sessions for small, medium and large breeds - just check out our timetable.

How it works

Play sessions

Play sessions are mixed sessions, so when you book, there will be other dogs and their owners there. To book a play session for your pooch, simply book a time slot on our website, read our House Rules, turn up and have fun!

Exclusive hire

Exclusive hire is great for:

  • Dogs who are anxious or reactive around dogs/people they don’t know
  • If your adult male dog is unneutered
  • If you would like to bring your children along
  • Breed Meet-ups
  • Birthday parties (+£20)

Exclusive hire for 1 hour costs £45 which gives entry for up to 4 dogs. If you would like to bring any additional dogs, it costs an additional £5 per dog. For example, if you wanted to have a meet-up with 8 dogs, it would cost £45 for the hire and the first 4 dogs, and then an additional £20 for the extra 4 dogs = £65, which works out at £8.13 per dog!

You can book an exclusive hire for up to 8 dogs on our website - if you would like to book more than 8 dogs, please email us at info@thedugandbone.co.uk with your requirements as our capacity depends on the size and breed of dogs you’re looking to bring.

Please note that you are responsible for the safety of your children and any dogs that attend.

Took our border terrier here today, she had a great time, If your dog is missing out on Dog on Dog socialisation / play in the winter then this is the place. DAISY had a fantastic time, and we ( her humans) stayed warm, dry, and had coffee. So highly recommended.

Playground: Clean spacious and engaging

Dog-friendliness: It's called Dug and Bone,There is a strong focus on your pets safety and enjoyment

We've been here a good few times for the mixed plays. They are always really enjoyable for both dog and owner. The dogs are knackered by the end and there's lovely coffees you can get whilst the dogs mess around. Always a good day going to Dug and Bone :)

Where are we located?

We are based in the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park, which is off the Birniehill roundabout, just past the East Kilbride Shopping Centre.

If you are following car sat nav directions instead of Google Maps, please check first that the destination corresponds to the Technology Park, if it doesn't, try the postcode G75 0QR instead. Once you are in the Technology Park, follow signs for the Maxwell Building.

If you are walking, some map apps may try to take you through to the side gates on Kelvin Road - these gates are often locked so please just follow the driving directions to get here.
