Dog day care programs benefit the dogs of owner's who have busy
lives and are not able to socialize and exercise their dogs. Owners
benefit from a guilt free day of work or play and can come home to
a calm, relaxed pet. Dog day care provides the best of both worlds
for dogs and owners alike.
Getting its start in California in 1987, dog day care has
exploded to virtually every small town in America. Started by dog
enthusiasts, owners apply the same principles of running any
business combined with their love of dogs to the create the
ultimate day care business.
An article in the online magazine VetCentric.com described the
benefits of dog day care this way:
"The guiding principle behind dog day care is simple - provide a
safe and healthy atmosphere with lots of interaction, both with
other dogs and with people. Dogs can participate in group play,
gnaw on a favorite toy, hang out with humans in the office, or just
lounge on a couch and watch television. The point is that they're
not at home by themselves."
Other benefits of dog day care include a social environment
where dogs can play together, loads of activity, an excellent
release for high energy dogs, year round daycare operation (except
for major holidays), attention by trained staff members, and piece
of mind for the working owner.
Dog day care centers are mostly held in large, open spaces that
have some separation system for both size and temperament. Most dog
day care centers have an outdoor exercise area as well. Some day
cares provide furniture for dogs to climb on, agility equipment,
and lots of toys.
Some things to consider when looking for a dog day care are the
professionalism of the staff. Make sure they love dogs, know a lot
about dogs behaviors, and interact with those in dog day care each
day. Also, note the availability of space and "time-out" areas for
dogs who do not get along. Make sure your dog will be comfortable
with air condition, heat, and bedding. Also, check affordability
and general dog day care policies.
