CuppaPug – Booking Policy
At CuppaPug, we operate as a bookings-based business to protect the welfare, safety, and happiness of our beloved pugs. Carefully managing their engagement time, rest breaks, training needs, and overall wellbeing is central to everything we do. For this reason, we ask all guests to follow our Booking Policy to ensure both visitors and pugs enjoy a calm, safe, and magical experience.
1. Booking Requirements

Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes before your session to allow time for check-in, hand washing, and preparation.
-
If you arrive after your session has begun, entry cannot be permitted and no refunds will be given. This is a requirement of our animal exhibition license and helps us maintain a stable environment for the pugs.
