The Paw Patch Merges With Foxes Farm Fields. Essex Now Has One Home For Private Dog Walking
Big news for dog owners across Essex. The Paw Patch has officially merged with Foxes Farm Fields, bringing every private dog walking field in our network under one name. One brand. One website. One booking system. And more private dog walking fields across Essex than any other operator.
If you've been booking private dog walking fields in Essex through The Paw Patch at Eight Ash Green, Basildon or Great Bromley, your favourite field is still here. Nothing's changed about the space itself. The fencing is the same. The security is the same. The off lead freedom is the same. The only difference is it now lives under the Foxes Farm Fields name alongside every other private dog walking field we operate across the county.

Why the merger matters for dog owners in Essex
When we launched Foxes Farm Fields in 2019 we were the first private dog walking field operator in Essex. One field. One miniature dachshund called Fudge. And a belief that dog owners in Essex deserved better than crowded parks and unpredictable public spaces.
Since then we've grown into the biggest and longest standing private dog walking field operator in the county. We've opened private dog walking fields in Colchester, Upminster, Basildon, Great Bromley, Colne Engaine and Eight Ash Green. We launched Essex's first private indoor dog walking barn. And now by bringing The Paw Patch into the Foxes Farm Fields family we've created the largest single network of private dog walking fields Essex has ever had.

For dog owners across the county this means more choice, more locations and one simple place to find and book private off lead space for your dog wherever you are in Essex.
What's changed for Paw Patch customers
Your field hasn't changed. Your experience hasn't changed. What has changed is how you find and book it.
All Paw Patch locations now sit on the Foxes Farm Fields website and booking system. That means dog owners in Basildon, Eight Ash Green and Great Bromley who previously booked through The Paw Patch can now see every private dog walking field across Essex in one place. If you used to walk at Eight Ash Green through The Paw Patch you can now also book fields in Upminster, Colne Engaine or even try the Dog Barn in Colchester. All from the same app, the same website and the same account.
One login. Every private dog walking field in Essex. Simple.

The original private dog walking field operator in Essex
Foxes Farm Fields has been operating private dog walking fields in Essex since 2019. We were the first. We're still the biggest. And with The Paw Patch merger we're now offering more private off lead space across Essex than ever before.
We started this because we're dog owners. We built it because we're farmers with the land to make it happen. And we keep growing because thousands of dog owners across Essex keep telling us the same thing. Private dog walking fields changed how they walk their dog and they're never going back to the park.
