Enrichment Daycare is a fun-filled day where your dog gets to rotate through multiple activity sessions, offering a full day of mental and physical stimulation! Dogs engage in fun activities including Ball, Bacon Bubbles, Frisbee, Silly Stick, Jumpin’ Jacks, as well as festive seasonal events! Enrichment sessions happen with small groups of up to 5 dogs at a time, so staff have an increased ability to engage more thoroughly with the dogs in the group. Some dogs prefer private play time, so they get to play one-on-one with a staff member! Activity sessions are interspersed with rest periods to truly cater to the health and well-being of the individual dog. This is a highly customized daycare program and allows us to personally meet the needs of your individual dog, and is perfect for dogs who are playful, energetic, and love smaller groups with more individualized attention.

All Day Play refers to dogs playing in groups of up to 20 total dogs, while also receiving one Enrichment activity during their stay. Activities change each day and may include Ball, Bacon Bubbles, Frisbee, Silly Stick, Jumpin’ Jacks, as well as fun seasonal activities! This option is great for dogs who get along well with others in a larger group setting. The Day Stay option is perfect for dogs who prefer lots of snuggles from our staff instead of interacting with other dogs. We will talk with you about your pup’s needs and create a plan perfect for her.

Your dog needs to be 4 months old and be 28 days past its last round of vaccinations (DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella, and a Fecal Test) to ensure that she has begun to build an immune system conducive to interacting in a social environment.

Give us a call or stop in for a tour! We need basic information about you, including your contact information and your vet’s name, and we want to learn all about your dog. We will call your vet to verify your pup’s vaccination records. Once we confirm that your dog is up to date on all her vaccinations, you can schedule your daycare assessment, which includes full day of daycare for FREE!

We encourage you to bring your own food to maintain consistency in your pet’s diet. Pre-portion the food into individual baggies and place those within one bigger bag, labeled with your pet’s name. If you forget food or if it runs out during a lodging stay, we will serve our premium house food, according to your instructions.

It’s not necessary, since we have everything here that pets could possibly need, however you are welcome to bring items from home. Please keep in mind we do not allow rawhides or rope toys for safety reasons. We also ask that you not bring anything of significant value since we cannot guarantee we will be able to return items in the same condition, but we’ll do our best!

Each dog participates in a temperament test during their first daycare assessment. The dog is introduced slowly, to a few dogs at a time, as our team observes each dog’s body language, behavior and play style. This allows us to safely separate playgroups and make the best recommendation for the type of Daycare experience that will be best for each dog.

All dogs have access to water at all times. Fresh water is available to them in each Play Zone and in in their accommodations during naptime and overnight. Water bowls are sanitized and disinfected with high heat in a dishwasher every day.

We have multiple playgroups, small group and one-on-one activity sessions. Little dogs have their own separate indoor and outdoor space. Medium and large dogs are divided into groups based on their size and temperament. The Enrichment groups are also in separate yards. All play groups are monitored by our highly trained pet care team at all times.

Each dog has her own personality and comes from a unique background, just like us! For that reason, we have designed several programs to cater to the needs of most dogs. We will make every effort to acclimate a dog to one of our playgroups as long as she does not become sensitive toward our staff or other dogs. When this happens, she will be made comfortable in private accommodations, then reintroduced into the group at a later time. If she continues to show signs of sensitivity toward other dogs, Social Pet can still be a great option for lodging, as we offer multiple packages that include one-on-one play time with our staff! While every effort will be made to socialize a dog, safety is always our number one priority and we will do what we can to work with parents to create a plan that is best for each dog. Enrichment Daycare or Lodging Activity Packages are perfect for customizing an enjoyable and comfortable stay for each pup. Our staff LOVES one-on-one play time with the pups, and we will engage your dog in any way we can, based on what suits her best!

We have separate security and fire monitoring systems with live, 24-7 monitoring and dispatch that protects your pups overnight. If an emergency arises, police and fire department are at the facility in minutes and a staff member is on call at all times.

Because our lodging program includes playtime all day with one Enrichment activity, most dogs are ready for bed when it’s time to say good night. However, for dogs who enjoy a little extra TLC, we offer many options including a luxurious Lavender Essential Oil treatment on her bedding, delicious Calming Chews, and a relaxing Nightly Turndown Service to help lull her right to sleep.

Yes, we are open for daycare 7 days a week! However, we may close for daycare on certain holidays. Check our website and Facebook page for updates.

While it is rare, dogs can catch colds and spread sickness just like kids do at child daycare and just like adults can at work or out with friends. Additionally, seasonal changes in temperature can increase the chance of sickness, just like in people. If we notice your dog displaying any symptoms or abnormal behavior, we will remove her from the play group, make her comfortable in private accommodations, and call you immediately. We may also take her to be examined by a veterinarian at your cost if we cannot get in touch with you but think further treatment is required for her well-being. This policy is explained in more detail on the “Doggie Dogmas” you’ll sign and agree to on the first day of drop off.

 

We have invested in air purification systems, which help eliminate airborne germs and bacteria. This, extra measure, combined with our strict vaccination protocol, and advanced cleaning standards, help prevent contagious viruses from every spreading.

Vaccination records for all dogs are verified with the veterinarian to help ensure all dogs are up to date at all times.

Please remember, dogs get sick, not the facility. As with humans, the more they are around others and exposed to new environments, the higher the likelihood of establishing robust immune systems that will improve resiliency. While dogs can get sick from other dogs during daycare or a lodging stay (just like children can at daycare or school and adults at work), the benefits gained from socialization and physical activity far outweigh the risks.

We have a large indoor gym with wall-to-wall rubber flooring for those times when the weather doesn’t permit us to play outside.

Of course! We can send pictures and you can also view our webcams to watch her playing in the group. You may opt for a one-one-one Facetime or Skype session or view her personal webcam in one of our posh suites. You may also call, email or text us during her stay.  We’ll respond as promptly as possible.
