Doggie Daycares

 

A dog day care center is a place where you can leave your pet while you go to work. Just like daycares for babies, the owners of the center make sure that your pet is properly cared for while you are gone. It costs around $8-$35 a day, depending on the provider you choose: private home or fully staffed dog day care facilities.

 

Private Dog Daycares

 

Privately owned puppy daycares are held in the owner’s home. They are usually cheaper and the number of dogs that are being cared for at a given time is very limited. These kinds of dog daycare centers offer a homier environment and more human contact than commercial ones. It is therefore the better option if your dog is a bit shy and anti-social.

 

Commercial Dog Daycares

 

The number of dogs a day at commercial puppy daycares ranges from ten to twenty. A trained staff keeps them busy by thinking of different activities to do. The staff is also trained to deal with any fights that might happen between the dogs, and has agreements with a local veterinarian in case of emergencies.

 

The Best Choice For Your Dog

 

In both kinds of puppy day cares, the owners make sure that all the dogs they admit are healthy. Therefore, you can assume that both are very safe for your pet. To find the best choice for your dog, you should talk to the operators, weigh the pros and cons, and follow your instincts. Since payment for the service is on a daily basis, it shouldn’t be hard to move your pet to another dog day care center if you aren’t satisfied with the first one.

 

Finding the best Puppy Daycare in Your Area

 

Most private doggie daycare centers are listed in the Classified Ads section of local newspapers while commercial ones can be found in the yellow pages of your phone book. However, if you want to be sure of the credibility of the providers, the best way is by word of mouth.
