Is Dog Daycare Beneficial for Dogs?
Absolutely! Doggy daycare offers numerous advantages for most dogs, enhancing their overall well-being.
Benefits of Doggy Daycare:
- Mental Stimulation and Physical Activity: Engaging in daily activities not only tires out your pup but also helps reduce undesirable behaviors such as constant barking.
- Energy Outlet and Exercise: Dogs participate in group activities in a cage-free environment, allowing them to expend excess energy and stay active by stretching their legs.
- Addressing Separation Anxiety: Dog daycare provides a safe, fun, and stimulating environment, offering valuable practice for your pup to be comfortable during alone time. Our attentive staff ensures a low-stress stay.
- Socialization Opportunities: Dogs are naturally social animals, and our daycare provides a chance for them to interact with peers of similar size and temperament. Each dog undergoes evaluation to ensure safe and comfortable play, maintaining a secure and healthy environment. For dogs not comfortable with group play, individualized attention from our staff is provided.
However, it's important to note that if your dog exhibits reactivity, commonly found in those rescued from abusive situations, dog daycare may not be suitable. Please inform us of any aggression issues, and we can discuss whether behavioral training is recommended before enrollment.
How Frequently Should My Dog Attend Dog Daycare?
We recommend incorporating daycare into your dog's routine as often as possible! Dogs thrive on predictable routines, and coming to daycare regularly helps maintain a sense of stability. While most dogs attend 2-4 times per week, it's not uncommon for some to join us more frequently, even up to 5 times a week! Regular attendance not only provides an excellent exercise for entertainment and socialization but also allows them to build consistent bonds with "friends" they can interact with regularly. We genuinely enjoy having your dogs visit us frequently, fostering relationships that make them feel more at ease during their time in our care.
Understanding the Dog Daycare Evaluation Process
If your dog is set to join Doggie Daycare at K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel Brookfield, our priority is to ensure the safest and most enjoyable environment. On the first day, our trained and certified staff conducts a thorough evaluation of each dog. This process involves assessing your dog's temperament and evaluating their compatibility with a group of dogs.
Are Dogs Separated by Size in Dog Daycare?
Certainly, we assess dogs weighing 30 pounds and above for our large playgroup, while those weighing 29 pounds and under are evaluated for our small daycare playgroup.
Canine Boarding and Daycare Vaccination Requirements?
For boarding and daycare participation, dogs must have the following four vaccines up to date:
- Rabies
- Distemper/Parvo
- Bordetella (Strongly preferring "Merck Nobivac Intra-trac3" Intranasal)
- Canine Influenza (Strongly preferring "Nobivac Canine Flu Bivalent" for protection against both canine influenza H3N8 and H3N2)
