To some people, the idea of a Daycare for Dogs is still outrageous, but we know that dogs have taken on a different role in our lives. We want to make sure their needs are met through the day, which sometimes means enlisting the help of a dog walker or a daycare. For most people, it’s also a nice thing to bring home a tired dog at the end of the day, but daycare is not for every dog and not every daycare is created equally.

What is Daycare and Who Should Go?

Doggie Daycare is an organized playgroup for dogs. Typically set up in an enclosed setting like a fenced yard or an indoor space. Dogs can usually be left for a half or full day and they come home tired. Different daycare's will offer different scenarios. Some will be elaborate and include things like splash pads while others are just an enclosed area for play. Not all dogs will enjoy Daycare. Know your dog and what they like as far as interaction with other dogs. Do they get overwhelmed easily? The wrong Daycare could be their worst nightmare. Do they have tendencies towards bullying? The wrong daycare will reinforce that and could make it much worse.

If you’ve decided that you’d like to take your dog to Daycare, consider the following when you are searching for the right one.
