How does daycare work at Pets In The City?

You drop your dog off in the morning and pick up by close. Dogs play, rest and learn in small, well-matched groups all day.

Will my dog be safe in a group?

Yes. Trained staff watch every group. We match dogs by size, age and play style. Quiet rest breaks happen every few hours.

What does my dog need to start?

Up-to-date DHPP and Bordetella shots, plus a short trial day so we can match the right group for your dog.

Is my dog too old for daycare?

We welcome senior dogs. We give them quieter rooms and shorter play bursts so the day stays fun, not tiring.

How often should my dog come?

Most dogs do well with two or three days a week. That keeps them social and well-rested in equal measure.
