If you are running late or have another engagement to attend to after work, our pet taxi service can step in to bring your dog home after daycare. Please provide a minimum of 48 hours to ensure availability, however best efforts will be made for last minute requests.
Why is there a drop-off window?
Is there a minimum required attendance?
We do require all dogs to attend a minimum of 4 times a month in order to remain on our active roster; however, we do strongly recommend regular attendance (twice a week or more) to build up routine and establish positive relationships with staff, and other dog friends.
Absence of 6 months or more may require a re-trial.
What are the vaccine, age, and neuter/spay requirements?
Your dog will need to be:
- At least 12 weeks old
- Up to date on Distemper Combination, Rabies, and Bordetella
- Spayed/neutered after 1 year on a case-by-case basis. If we notice any undesirable behaviour with any dogs in our care due to being intact, we will discuss a more suitable alternative to daycare.
- We are not able to accomodate females in heat.
My dog has a sensitive tummy/allergies. Can I bring a snack?
Will there be any ad hoc training to reinforce good behaviour?
Yes! We are all about positive reinforcement and rewarding focus and engagement. Throughout the day we will be working with you dog on known cues and reinforcming good choices.
What happens if a daycare guest is unwell?
If a daycare dog is showing symptoms of illness, we will bring the pup away from other dogs for a wellness check and reach out to the dog parent to inform them of their dog’s condition and to come pickup as soon as possible. We will supervise and keep the dog as comfortable as possible with updates as necessary until pickup.
If it is an emergency, we will contact a vet for further professional advise.
What disinfectant do you use to ensure sanitation requirements?
Enzymatic cleaners and Prevail disinfectant
