Well… I genuinely wasn’t expecting THIS!

After an already exciting day seeing Wright Zone featured in the Isle of Wight County Press, another rather special email landed in my inbox…

Wright Zone Doggy Day Care is a Red Funnel Isle of Woof Award FINALIST!

And not just shortlisted — we’ve made the FINAL THREE! 🥹🏆

I’m excited, overwhelmed and ridiculously proud. Wright Zone has only been open for a matter of months, so to already be recognised as one of the final three in our category is a real pinch-me moment.

But the loveliest part is knowing that you put us there. Every vote came from people who trust me with their dogs, recommend Wright Zone and have supported this little Ventnor doggy day care from the beginning.

Honestly, thank you. 💚

On 12th November we’ll be heading to Northwood House to discover whether Wright Zone takes Bronze, Silver or Gold.

Whatever happens on the night, I’m incredibly proud of what Wright Zone has achieved already.

We’re bloomin’ finalists! 🏆🐾

A little snapshot of some of the wonderful dogs who have spent time with us at Wright Zone Doggy Day Care in Ventnor. From tiny paws to big personalities, quiet cuddles to crazy playtimes — they all become part of the Wright Zone family. 💚

There are lots more furry faces still to be added, and plenty of room for all the new ones yet to come!

Can you spot your fur baby on the wall? Or perhaps yours will be joining it soon!

The summer holidays may be coming to an end, the children are heading back to school and autumn is just around the corner — which means routines are changing again for lots of families… including our four-legged ones!

At Wright Zone Doggy Day Care, our days are all about providing a safe, comfortable and happy home-from-home environment where dogs can spend time with carefully matched canine friends, enjoy play, enrichment and plenty of attention — with time to relax and recharge too.

We’re not a large, traditional daycare setting. Dogs spend their day with me in a relaxed, home-style environment, with access to comfortable indoor spaces and our secure garden. Some arrive ready for a day of play, some prefer a quieter companion and a comfy spot on the sofa, and many enjoy a little bit of both!

Every new dog starts with an induction, giving me the opportunity to get to know them and, importantly, giving them time to get to know me and the environment before joining us for daycare. I carefully consider personalities, ages, play styles and individual needs when deciding which dogs spend time together.

As we head into autumn, Wright Zone continues to welcome both local dogs needing regular daycare and dogs visiting the Isle of Wight with their families, subject to availability.

Whether it’s while you’re at work, enjoying a day out, or simply because your dog loves spending time with their Wright Zone friends, the aim is always the same:

Happy dogs, happy owners and daycare that feels a little more like home. 🐾💚

🏆 Wright Zone Doggy Day Care has been nominated in the Red Funnel Isle of Wight Awards 2026 WOOF category 🐾💚

As a small independent business, this means the absolute world to us and we’re incredibly grateful for all of the support from our wonderful clients and their amazing dogs 🥹

Hi, I’m Suzanne Wright, and I’m thrilled to finally say: Wright Zone Doggy Day Care is open and welcoming four-legged friends right here in Ventnor, Isle of Wight! After turning a simple workshop into a purpose-built indoor haven, we’ve created a calm, structured space where dogs can play, relax, and socialise in small, thoughtfully matched groups—no overstimulation, just genuine enrichment and care. With dedicated play zones, comfy rest areas, and even quiet spots for those who need a little extra space, our focus is simple: putting dogs first so they leave happy, tired, and ready for cuddles at home.

Whether your pup is a confident social butterfly or needs a gentle introduction to group life, we’re here to make every day feel like a second home. We’ve already seen tails wagging and friendships forming during our soft openings and inductions, and it’s been wonderful meeting local dog owners along the way. If you’ve been looking for reliable, welfare-led day care on the Island, why not pop over to our client portal to register and arrange an assessment? Limited spaces mean we keep things personal—get in touch via hello@thewrightzone.co.uk or 07966 909820. Here’s to more wags, more walks, and more wonderful days ahead! 🐾
