Frequently Asked Questions

Can my dog get a bath while he’s there?2025-02-10T08:07:14-06:00

Absolutely! Baths and pedicures must be scheduled in advance, either by phone or in person.

Do you train the dogs while they’re there?2025-02-10T08:06:59-06:00

While we do not do any formal obedience training, we do work on teaching dogs good manners while they’re here.

Why must my dog be neutered in order to come to daycare?2025-02-10T08:06:43-06:00

As peculiar as it may sound, it is not uncommon for neutered male dogs to take issue with intact males. This can upset the entire pack dynamic and result in a scuffle.

We will make an occasional exception to this rule if the dog starts attending daycare as a young puppy. If, as the puppy matures, he begins exhibiting unacceptable behaviors, neutering will be required before he can return to daycare.

Can my dog get hurt?2025-02-10T08:06:25-06:00

Because dogs are animals and they play with their mouths, it is possible for a dog to get hurt, although injuries are extremely rare.

Do all dogs play together, or do you separate big dogs and little dogs?2025-02-10T08:06:04-06:00

As a general rule, dogs are separated by size – big dogs in one area and little dogs and puppies in another. We will shift a dog to another room on occasion depending on the dog’s personality and play style.

Can my dog have lunch while he’s in daycare?2025-02-11T13:56:15-06:00

Yes. If your dog happened to skip breakfast that morning, have a puppy who is still eating 3 meals a day, or just a very energetic dog that needs an extra meal, you’re more than welcome to bring a lunch. We will feed your dog when they go up for the midday rest period. You may also sign your dog up for a lunch time Lick Mat or Goat’s Milk N Cookies for $3 that we offer every day.

What do the dogs do all day?2025-02-11T16:58:32-06:00

The dogs play in their indoor rooms, go outside about every hour and depending on how nice the weather is, will get adequate play time outside as well. Mid day our full daycare dogs and boarding dogs will go up for a rest period and get lunch if provided and/or need it, then they come out and play for the rest of the day until they go home. We provide some group training with our play groups throughout the day and have Enrichment Activities you may sign your dog up for.

What if I can’t get there by 6:00 to pick him up?2025-02-11T14:02:59-06:00

With a courtesy call, at least 20 minutes before 6 p.m. we are happy to stay no later than 6:30 and it will incur a $5 late pickup fee. If it’s later than 6:30 we will be glad to board your dog overnight along with the other boarding dogs. We will be happy to feed them dinner and make sure they are tucked in. They will also receive a late night romp and an extra love before going up for the night.

Can I drop my dog off/pick him up anytime during the day?2025-02-11T13:59:31-06:00

Yes! We are open from 7am-6pm M-F. You may drop off anytime in that window. If your dog is doing a Half Day of Daycare and they come right before the lunch hour, they will stay out to play for that time.

What days/hours is daycare available?2025-02-10T08:04:41-06:00

Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
