Can any dog come to day care? Please keep in mind that the doggie daycare environment is quite simply not for all dogs. Just like people, dogs all have distinct personalities, and some personalities and temperaments are better suited than others to the “pack” life in daycare. K-9 Child reserves the right to refuse any dog. What should I expect on the first day? We ask that you bring your dog as early as possible on the first several visits so that he/she is one of the first ones there and can “greet” the other dogs as they arrive. This makes the process much easier and less intimidating for them than being introduced to a group of dogs that are already established. For some dogs it takes a few visits for them to feel comfortable. While others jump right in, like they have always come to daycare. Is your facility state licensed to allow boarding and daycare? Yes. We have met all requirements to be state licensed and keep our certification in plain view of clients. There is no certification to allow boarding dogs play with daycare dogs. If a business is licensed as a daycare and boarding facility, your dogs can play together. We do recommend flea protection. We do recommend a flea program for your dog (such as Frontline, etc.) some do not kill the fleas. Flea and heartworm preventatives are encouraged but not required. Please talk to your dogs’ vet about what is right for your dog. Sore pads: Running and playing may be a little rough on your K-9 kid’s feet, and they may get sore and abraded pads. This will go away as their pads get thicker and use to running on different surfaces. Sore Muscles: Your K-9 kid will be having so much fun playing, that they may forget to pace themselves and have a few sore muscles. This will fade as you see them get stronger and more in shape. Exhausted: The new social interaction your K-9 kid will encounter while being at daycare, will be both physically and mentally exhausting, till they become accustomed to daycare. Enthusiasm: Your dog’s enthusiasm to come to daycare will grow; you will soon find they will know which days they get to come to daycare. Wet Coat: Your dogs coat maybe wet when you pick them up during the summer- on hot summer days they may have been lounging in the pools. Not to worry, the water is changed frequently to keep them clean and healthy. We will try to have them out of the pool in plenty of time and towel dried as much as possible, and ready, for when you pick them up. Their tail will be wagging & you may even see a smile on their face. It’s just their way of saying;
