Daycare FAQs
Do you separate dogs by size for daycare at Happy Dog Care??
Yes! We group by size and energy level.
What if my dog needs a break during daycare?
No problem! Rest areas are always available, and we monitor energy levels of all dog guests throughout the day.
Can my dog come to daycare just once a week?
Absolutely. Flexible scheduling means you choose what works best. Just give us a call when you’re ready to schedule additional daycare reservations!
What should I bring for my dog's daycare stay?
First and foremost—your dog! Also, a secure collar and leash, and food in a labeled container if you would like your dog to have lunch during their visit. We’ll handle the rest!
Will my dog be tired after daycare?
That’s the goal! You can expect a happy, relaxed pup at pickup.
