Day Care
With
both mom and dad at work, and the kids in school - what's a doggy
to do?
While cats
are usually happy in their cool and solitary existence, dogs don't
take kindly to being alone at home all day.
Enter the
doggy day care center, an industry which has grown by leaps and
bounds in the past 10 years, fulfilling the need of pet owners
who want the best for their family pets.
Dog day care
promises lots of interaction with other dogs and humans, featuring
organized play groups and exercise programs. Some even provide
grooming, obedience training, and health care services.
Doggy
day care is not right for every dog, and most reputable day care
centers will screen for aggressiveness, extreme sensitivity or
shyness, or general poor health or evidence of disease.
How to choose a dog day care center
As new day
care centers are opening every day, take the opportunity to compare
services and experience local facilities first hand.
-
Look for
general cleanliness, good lighting and ample room for play and
exercise.
-
Be sure
to observe or ask about gates & fencing - to avoid accidental
escapes through the front or back door.
-
Ask if
day care staff are fully trained to effectively interact and
discipline dogs in the care.
-
Also inquire
about regular meal times, onsite or visiting veterinary services,
and if staff members are trained to administer medications.
