Eligibility

We welcome all friendly smaller sized dogs (30 lbs. or less). Dogs must be current on vaccinations and be free of ticks and fleas. All dogs and owners will be briefly interviewed and dogs will be evaluated to assure that they are well suited to the daycare.

Evaluation

All dogs new to our daycare will be evaluated to see that they are well suited to the daycare environment.  Your dog will be taken into a separate room where our staff will observe your dog.  We will be watching for any aggressive or fearful behaviors in addition to positive responses to other dogs.  Owners are not present during the evaluations so that we may better observe the dog’s natural behavior when the owner is not with them.  At the conclusion of the evaluation, if your dog is a good fit for our daycare, we will invite you and your dog back for a free day of daycare for a full day of observations to better assess if the daycare environment will be beneficial for your dog..
