Picking the Perfect Doggy Daycare Service 

It is our number one responsibility to ensure that are fur babies are well cared for if we ever leave town for leisure, business, or emergency.  A doggy daycare enables your pet to be in a safe, enriching, and loving environment while you are away.  We are going to walk you through how to pick the perfect doggy daycare.  There is so much that you need to learn so please continue reading!

The most important thing is that you ensure that the doggy daycare staff is friendly and professional.  Before you commit to a doggy daycare, ask for a tour of the facility.  Engage the staff and make sure that they are friendly and sincere.  Look around and determine if the dogs are happy and active, and if the staff cares about their well-being.  Don’t be afraid to ask questions related to behavioral training, pet emergencies, and daily schedules.

Make sure that the doggy daycare facility pays close attention to pet health.  The doggy daycare should require vaccination records for every pet, no exceptions.  If they do not ask for your pet’s records, chances are that they are not asking for anyone else’s either.  They should also ask what will be done in the event of an emergency.  For example, do you have pet insurance to help reimburse you for covered veterinary costs?

You will also need to determine the daycare accommodations.  You want to make sure that your dog is well taken care of, right?  Does the daycare have webcams so that you can check on your dog throughout the day?  Do they split the dogs up based on temperament and/or size?  What are some of the other shared activity spaces?  Another important thing to consider is the costs involved.  You should inquire about competitive pricing, discounts, or reward programs.  The amount you should expect to pay for doggy daycare will vary by region and the services that you purchase.

It is important to follow your intuition but also listen to your pet.  Pay close attention to how they react when you drop them off and pick them up from the doggy daycare center.  Look for signs of happiness or stress and you will be able to form a good indication of how they are adapting!
