Is daycare right for your dog?

Yes: social dogs (loves the dog park), high-energy young dogs left alone 8+ hrs a day, dogs with separation anxiety.

No: dog-reactive dogs, senior dogs (can't keep up with rowdy pack), recovering-from-surgery dogs, dogs that hate other dogs.

What to ask before signing up

• Trial day required? Good daycares assess every dog before regular booking.
• Dog-to-staff ratio — under 10:1 ideal, never above 15:1.
• Vaccination requirements — should require core vaccines + bordatella (kennel cough).
• Group structure — segregated by size and play style? Single mixed group is high-risk.
• Rest periods + crate breaks — dogs need downtime; 8 hours of constant play is exhausting and triggers fights.
