Day Care for Your Dog

In these hustle bustle days, sometimes we can’t be home with our dogs as much as we would like. But the advent of doggie day care offers an option to leaving your dog home alone. Here are a few ideas to help make the search a little easier.

Research the facility before you register your dog. Ask other dog owners if they are familiar with good day care facilities.

Visit the day care and take the tour. Check for a clean, well ventilated, hygienic facility. How often do they play with the dogs? Do they leave the dogs unattended with other dogs? Do they crate the dogs; if so for how long? What is the number of dogs to people? Do dogs share beds and toys or can you bring your own? Do the other dogs at the facility look healthy? Does the facility require any certificates of health for the dogs?

Some doggie day care facilities have really gone glam and hi tech offering grooming, massage, and training. If you are the one suffering from separation anxiety, ask if the day care facility has online monitoring. Outfitted with web cameras, online monitoring allows you to log onto a web site and watch your pup at play.
