As we step into 2026, the award-winning Teddy’s Dog Care in Northampton is urging us to support local independent businesses. Founded by Michelle Wilson in 2010, Teddy’s was inspired by her beloved pug, Teddy, and has since become a cherished haven for dogs across the county.
Teddy’s Dog Care is not your average doggy day care. It offers a unique home environment where dogs can roam freely, enjoying a cosy patio, garden with soft furnishings, and a large paddock complete with an adventure playground. This cage-free approach has earned Teddy’s a reputation as a standout in the community, with customers often praising its distinct charm.
Michelle is particularly proud of the strong bonds formed with customers, who feel more like friends and family. This sense of community was evident at their first dog show, which raised over £1,250 for Animals In Need Northamptonshire. The event attracted attendees from near and far, showcasing the widespread appeal of Teddy’s.
The accolades didn’t stop there. Teddy’s was recognised as the best small business at the Northants Life Awards 2025 and named best doggy day care at the 2025 Quality Business Awards. These achievements highlight the exceptional service and care provided by Michelle and her team.
In addition to their regular offerings, Teddy’s has ventured into the world of dog acting, with several of their pooches, including Michelle’s own dog Junior, landing roles in Hollywood films. This exciting development is set to continue into the new year.
As Teddy’s prepares to launch its secure adventure paddock for off-lead time, it’s clear that this independent gem is committed to providing unparalleled experiences for dogs and their owners. Supporting local businesses like Teddy’s not only strengthens our community but also ensures that our furry friends receive the best care possible.
At James Anthony, we understand the importance of community and are proud to support local businesses like Teddy’s Dog Care. Together, we can make 2026 a year to remember for our beloved pets and our vibrant community.
