The purpose of Doggy Daycare and Spa is to provide a safe, fun, and stimulating environment with an emphasis on positive experiences that include interaction and socialization with other friendly dogs. To ensure the safety and health of all our dogs, we require that everyone comply with the following rules and requirements.
Age: All dogs must be at least 5 months of age to attend for Daycare or Boarding.
Gender: All dogs must be spayed or neutered to attend for Daycare or Boarding.
Required Vaccinations: All dogs entering the facility must have up-to-date vaccinations on
record. Owners must submit proof from their Veterinarian that their dog is current on the
following vaccinations:
- Rabies (1 year or 3 year)
- Distemper Combo
- Leptospirosis
- Bordetella – required every 6 months*
- Canine Influenza – part 1 and part 2
*A note about the Bordetella Vaccine: This vaccine must be administered every 6 months and only the intranasal or
oral forms of the vaccine will be accepted. The intranasal form is preferred due to the additional protection for
parainfluenza. We require a 10-day waiting period before enrollment can be completed for dogs who are receiving the
Bordetella vaccine for the first time or are more than 6 months past due.
Parasite Prevention: All dogs entering the facility must be free of parasites, including fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites. For Daycare attendance, we do require that all dogs be on year-round heartworm and flea preventative prescribed by their Veterinarian as well as be current on annual fecal testing. Tick prevention is recommended and we encourage you to talk to your Veterinarian about appropriate products.
Health: All dogs entering the facility must be in good health and free from any condition that could potentially jeopardize the health of other dogs. Dogs that have been ill with a communicable ailment in the last 30 days will require veterinarian certification of health to return to Daycare.
Behavior: All dogs attending Daycare must have never shown any signs of aggression towards other dogs or people. All “parents” will need to certify that their dog has no history of aggression.
Enrollment: All dogs attending Daycare must have completed our enrollment process and passed their evaluation.
Attendance Policy: Reservations are required. If you are unable to keep your reservation, we kindly ask that you cancel with as much advance notice as possible. We request that dogs who have attended daycare or boarded at another facility wait a minimum of 10 days before coming to Doggy Daycare and Spa.
Dress Code: All dogs attending Daycare must arrive on leash wearing a flat, quick release, snap on collar for their safety. Collars should be neither too tight nor too loose. Identification on their “daycare collar” is recommended. Any buckle, prong, or choke collars will be removed while dogs are playing.
Restrictions: Doggy Daycare and Spa reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any dog at any time for any reason. Please be advised that our environment is not suited for every dog and safety is of the utmost importance. If we feel a dog will create an unsafe environment for themselves or anyone else based on any behavior we encounter, they will not be able to participate in our program.
