Doggy Daycare

Doggy daycare offers numerous benefits, including socialization, exercise, mental stimulation and reduced separation anxiety.

 

Our dogs are separated, per size and play style and receive supervision and stimulation.  Fun guaranteed!

 

​​

Benefits for the dog

 

Socialisation

Daycare provides a safe and supervised environment for dogs to interact with other dogs, assisting with the development of important social skills and canine communication.

 

Exercise

Dogs are given the opportunity to run and play, promoting physical fitness and reducing the likelihood of boredom -related destructive behaviours at home.   

 

Mental Stimulation

Engaging with other dogs and participating in various activities keeps dogs mentally sharp and prevents boredom, and the associated destructive behaviours.

 

Reduced Separation Anxiety  

The social interaction and structured environment of daycare can help dogs to feel more comfortable and secure when their owners are away.

 

Routine and Structure

A consistent schedule and structured activities can help dogs feel more secure and reduce stress as they know what to expect during the day.

 

Improved Behaviour  

The combination of exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation supports better overall behaviour, and a more well-adjusted dog.

​​

Benefits for the owner

Peace of Mind

Knowing that your dog is in a safe, supervised environment while you are at work or away from home, provides peace of mind and reduced stress.

 

Convenience

Daycare can be a convenient solution for busy pet owners who need to leave their dogs for extended periods.

 

Reduced destructive behaviour    

A well exercised and mentally stimulated dog is less likely to engage in destructive behaviours at home.   

 

Professional Care

Staff are trained to provide expert care and supervision.

 

Flexibility

Flexible hours for drop off and pick up as well as weekend day care options, ensure that playtime is scheduled around your time!

 

What does a typical daycare day look like? 

 

  • Daycare starts at 7h00, with dogs being dropped off by their owners. Alternatively, they are collected by us, or FurKidzFerry, the pet transport service that we partner with.

  • Dogs are separated into groups based on size and play style/temperament.

  • All dogs enjoy the opportunity for supervised play and games.

  • If there is a birthday celebration, we will take photos and share them with the owner.

  • 12h00 to 13h00 – dogs are given lunch/snacks, as required.

  • The early afternoon is spent relaxing; thereafter last games/walks for the day are completed.

  • Dogs scheduled for grooming receive their spa treatment, ensuring that they go home, clean and sweet smelling.

  • Dogs are separated in areas, ready for collection by their owners.

  • A through check of all our visitors is conducted followed by a quick spritz and tidy up, if required.

 

We recognise how important it is to see how your dog is enjoying the day with us and do our best to capture the fun with videos and photos; this is time permitting.
