Why Daycare For Your Dog?

Actually, we like to call it “playcare” since it is so much fun. What happens during daycare? You drop your dog off with our skilled attendants and they stay and play! They enjoy healthy romps with other dogs, stimulating toys, wholesome treats, relaxing rest, and reinforcement of good manners. Day care is SO much fun for dogs, but we take your dog’s fun seriously!  Dogs are arranged by size, play style, and energy levels to ensure your dog gets the most out of day care. At our North (Main) Campus, our moveable walls allow us to create just the right space for each unique group of dogs. At our South Campus, dogs are supervised in small play groups that are well-matched for our private dog park setting. And, our skilled and attentive staff supervise and manage the fun. At the end of the sessions, dogs go home happy, tired, relaxed, and better socialized.

Day Care Enrollment

Prior to your dog enrolling in daycare, we require completion of an application and temperament evaluation. All dogs must be current on the following vaccinations: rabies, DHPP, and bordetella (canine cough). The bordetella vaccination must have been received at least one week prior to beginning daycare. Vaccinations must have been administered by a veterinarian and documentation is required. And, we ask that you keep your dog flea free. Dogs over 6 months old must be spayed or neutered.

Interview/Temperament Evaluation: $15.00 – non-refundable but can be applied to prepaid monthly passes, multi-visit discount passes, or to our training classes.

Please call 345-1912 or email if you’d like to discuss your dog’s membership in our daycare group!
