How To Choose the Perfect Doggy Daycare
Life gets busy and giving your dog their much-needed attention may not always be at the top of your to-do list—even if you’d like it to be. Doggy daycare is a great option to ensure your dog’s needs are met while you are at work, school, or away. However, it can be hard to know whether doggy daycare is the best route for you and your pup. You may be asking yourself, how will I know if daycare is the right fit for my dog? This is a common concern to have when thinking about short-term or long-term boarding for your dog.
At Pooches Playhouse, we understand the need for excellent daycare and boarding. That’s why we provide dogs of all breeds and sizes with a comfortable, fun environment where their personalities can shine through, and where you can rest easy knowing that your dog is getting the 5-star care they deserve. Choosing the perfect daycare for your dog can sometimes be a challenge, but knowing what to look for in a daycare or dog boarding home can help make the hunt for the perfect one easier.
Here are the top 3 things you should look for when choosing your dog daycare:
#1: Crate-free Environment
The number one thing to look for in doggy daycare is one that provides a crate-free environment for your pup. A crate-free facility allows your dog to run freely without being boxed into a cage. Not only does it allow ample space for your pup to run around and express their unique personality, but it provides a comfortable environment where your dog can get to know other dogs, and most importantly, play!
#2: Socializing
Dogs are highly social creatures that not only require human attention and care but also need plenty of opportunities to socialize with other dogs. When choosing a daycare, it’s important to select one that puts your dog’s social and physical wellbeing first. Great doggy daycares will provide ample opportunities for your pup to socialize with other dogs during different activities. Socializing your dog is important to keep them happy, healthy, and at ease around other pups and finding a daycare that recognizes that is a must.
#3: Personality Match
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a doggy daycare is selecting one where both the human and canine residents get along with your dog. It can be hard to determine what will be a good fit for your pup, which is why you should find a daycare that meets your dog’s specific needs and provides an opportunity for your dog to get to know the other dogs in the daycare. Typically, two daycare days are the minimum in which you can get a sense of how well your dog will fare at the daycare.
