Questions
What makes your daycare different from other facilities?
We maintain a quiet, stress-free environment with structured playtimes and limited visitor access. Our 2-5 weekly attendance policy creates stable social groups, and we've had no dog fights since 2014.
How do you handle dogs with special needs?
We provide individualized care plans for dogs requiring medication, special diets, or behavioral support. Our staff administers medications using non-forceful methods and accommodates specific dietary requirements with owner-provided food.
What are your holiday operating hours?
We're closed for daycare on 10 major holidays but provide extended cage-free time for boarding dogs. Staff maintain regular care routines while offering flexible pick-up/drop-off options during holiday periods.
How do you ensure dog safety during playtime?
Our trained staff continuously monitor body language cues and intervene before conflicts arise. We limit group sizes, enforce strict behavior standards, and use scheduled play sessions to prevent overexcitement and potential injuries.
What items should I bring for boarding?
Please provide pre-measured food, medications (with prior approval), and familiar comfort items like beds or blankets. We supply filtered water and all necessary feeding equipment to maintain consistent hydration and nutrition.
How does your foster program work?
Our foster program provides temporary housing and care for adoptable dogs. We cover medical expenses while foster families provide daily care. The program focuses on socialization and behavioral training to prepare dogs for permanent adoption.
