You want to choose the right dog daycare facility to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you’re away. But options are plentiful, and not all pet care facilities are created equal. It’s important to do your due diligence.
Here are just five tips that can help you make an informed decision.
- Take a Tour (or Two)
Start by visiting potential daycares to assess their cleanliness, safety measures, and overall environment. Look for clean facilities with ample security and adequate space for dogs to play both indoors and outdoors. Tours of Waggles Pet Resort are available by appointment.
- Check Playgroup and Supervision Policies
Understanding how a facility groups and supervises its guests is also crucial. At Waggles Pet Resort, all guests are required to take part in a thorough evaluation before being allowed into a playgroup. We then ensure that dogs are grouped appropriately by size, temperament, and play style to promote safe and enjoyable interactions. We maintain an optimal staff-to-dog ratio to provide adequate supervision and prevent any potential issues.
- Ask About Staff Qualifications
Don’t be shy. This is a member of the family you’re seeking care for. Ask about the qualifications and training of the daycare staff. The Waggles team, for instance, is composed of experienced professionals who are trained in canine behavior and engage in ongoing education. Our high level of expertise helps in managing dogs effectively and ensures guests are well-cared for during their stay.
- Understand the Routine
A structured routine with balanced periods of play and rest is vital for keeping dogs happy and healthy. At Waggles, our daycare schedule includes supervised playtime, rest periods, and activities designed to provide mental stimulation and physical exercise, making sure our guests do not become overstimulated or excessively tired.
- Explore Additional Services
Most pet resorts offering daycares also offer extra services, like overnight boarding, grooming, and training, as well as add-ons or enhanced amenities. Here, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including a canine chauffeur service for convenient pickups and drop-offs, multiple play packages, and more.
