Is dog daycare good for my dog?
For social dogs, daycare provides exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship that prevents boredom and destructive behavior at home. However, not every dog is a good fit — dogs that are fearful, aggressive, or overwhelmed by other dogs may find daycare stressful.
How often should my dog go to daycare?
It depends on your schedule and your dog's needs. Many owners send their dogs 2 to 3 days per week for a good balance of socialization and rest. Full-time (5 days) works for some dogs but can be tiring — watch for signs of exhaustion or behavioral changes.
What if my dog does not pass the temperament assessment?
This is not uncommon and does not mean your dog is bad. Some dogs need more time to adjust, and the facility may suggest a gradual introduction. Other dogs are simply not suited for group play and may do better with a private dog walker or pet sitter.
What vaccinations are required for dog daycare?
Current rabies, distemper/parvovirus (DHPP) and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations are generally required. Some also require canine influenza and a negative fecal test. Spaying or neutering is often required for dogs over 6 to 8 months.
How do I know if my dog is enjoying daycare?
A dog that enjoys daycare will be excited at drop-off, come home tired but happy, and maintain a good appetite and normal behavior. Signs of stress include reluctance to enter the facility, excessive drooling, changes in appetite, or unusual behavior at home.
