FAQs

Day Camp is a fully customized experience designed entirely around your dog’s unique personality, needs, and favorite activities. Day Camp programs emphasize personalized attention, play, exercise, socialization, and rest breaks that meet your dog’s needs. Day Camp staff will use your feedback and our evaluation process to determine the best daily activity options for your dog while at day camp. While exercise, socialization, and activity are essential parts of a dog’s physical and mental well-being, rest is just as critical. We strongly believe that incorporating rest breaks in between activities can make a dog’s experience at day camp safer and more enjoyable. 

Most Doggie Day Cares only offer large group play options. The noise and activity level in a day care can be over stimulating and sometimes intimidating for some dogs. Often these play groups do not have adequate staff to dog supervision, that can impact proper dog interactions and overall safety. Inadequately supervised play groups can also lead to dogs developing bad habits by mimicking undesirable behaviors from other dogs the group.

In most Doggie Day Cares there is a lack of individual and personalized attention. In a Day Care play group setting, dogs often do not receive one-on-one care or specialized attention. Some Doggie Day Cares advertise and offer all-day play groups with no rest breaks. While playing all-day with other dogs may sound appealing, all-day play groups can be overstimulating and overwhelming for many dogs. While many dogs enjoy the group play, they also need time to rest and recovery time in between play. Being over tired can result in an unpleasant experience because they do not have the opportunity to rest and recover.
