Enrichment Filled Daycare
The ultimate day camp experience for your dog. All day play and our seasonal pool are always included in our low calendar day pricing. Our daycare is different from other facilities and includes extensive enrichment to keep dogs safety, happy, and increasing their play and behaviors. We offer a variety of add ons to make your dog's play experience amazing such as VIP treats, salon services, massage, activities, training, and more. Dogs will go home tired after playing with us all day! Our play is staffed with trainers who work on continual good behavior with your dog while they play. Starting at just $25 per calendar day.
What To Bring For Your Daycare Camper:
Please bring your dog on leash. We do not recommend bringing meals or treats for your dog. Most dogs would prefer to play all day as opposed to being locked up from the other dogs for mid day meal time.
