Day Care Services

Does your dog need a place to stay while you are at work or out for the day? Does your dog need a little extra playtime during the week? If you answered yes, then our day care service is the answer!

Dog day care is a great place for your dog when you are away from home just for the day.  Your dog spends time socializing, playing, and exercising with other day care dogs instead of staying at home alone.  It is a great option for dogs that need a little extra companionship during the day.

 

Day care is also a great option for your puppy (over 12 weeks old).  Don’t leave your puppy bored at home all day.  Bring your puppy for day care where they will learn socialization skills while wearing off all that puppy energy in a safe and dog friendly environment while you are gone.  Day care also exposes your puppy to lots of different stimuli such as sights, sounds, and people which is extremely important for their development and builds confidence in your young dog.

We always recommend a few day care stays for any owner who is nervous about bringing their dog for a longer boarding stay.  Coming for day care allows us to evaluate the dog’s response to the kennel environment and helps them to adapt to the new surroundings.  It gives owners peace of mind that their dog will have a good time during any longer stay with us.

We provide day care services in the same facility we use for boarding and grooming. We have large exercise pens where Day Care dogs participate in monitored playgroups which are divided by dog size and activity level for the safety of the animals. Toys and water are supplied in the exercise pens at all times.

Day Care is provided on all days except Sunday and Tuesday. Dogs that must stay overnight will be charged based on our standard boarding rates plus a $25 extension charge.

Dogs staying for Day Care may check in any time after 8am with check out anytime between 4 and 7pm.

All dogs staying for Day Care must be up to date with their vaccinations. Proof of vaccination is required. Please review our Vaccination Policy.

Puppy Testimonials

"My new brother Jackson is awesome…he and I are getting along very very well. He is being gentle with me and showing me the ropes around the house. We play lots especially late in the evening so I get tired and sleep well…

I am very “mouthy” and like shoes, pant legs, and anything on my level. I have tons of toys and they keep putting them in my mouth when I try and chew things I should not be chewing…

I can’t wait to see you all again soon,
Love
Sydney"

Heart of a Champion

Earlier in the summer we shared about a very special photo shoot for a Here in Hanover magazine article we were a part of. The article is finally out and I am just stunned at how great it turned out. Katharine Britton is the author of this beautiful 6 page spread that goes so far beyond describing what goes into showing dogs to create a striking narrative that warms the heart, or at least it warms mine. The title says it all, “Heart of a Champion.”
