Why is Dog Daycare the Best Play Option?

Today’s pet parents have more pet care options than ever, but a dedicated dog daycare offers benefits not found anywhere else. Here are just some reasons dog daycare is the most enriching and fulfilling play option for dogs of all ages.

Safe Socialization

Many dogs benefit significantly from social playtime with their own kind. Dog daycare is a purpose-built, professionally supervised place for dogs to safely play together with hand-selected playmates. With a pet sitter, your pup likely won’t get to socialize much, if at all. And other public dog parks brings a whole host of concerns like unvaccinated pups, unvetted temperaments, and an uncontrolled environment… while dog daycare is safe, supervised, and tons of fun.

Exercise Opportunities

Going for a walk around the block is nice, but it’s often not enough exercise to keep your dog in good physical shape. Dog daycare gives dogs hours of playtime with enriching toys, splash pools, playground equipment, and new friends. At Happy Tails, dogs have acres of room to run, spend their energy, and get all the exercise they need.

Protects Your Privacy

Dog sitting apps mean welcoming a stranger into your home, and we’ve all heard horror stories of stolen items, destroyed property, and mishandled pets. A dog daycare facility is fully accountable and separate from your personal life. Just drop off your dog—not your keys!

Dog Daycare Enrichment Activities

Dog Daycare Enrichment Activities at Happy Tails Pet Resort
Dogs need both mental and physical exercise when it comes to living their best lives, and Happy Tails Pet Resort is here to support that. Dog daycare is already tons of fun, but our enrichment activities take it to the next level by engaging your dog’s mind, instincts, and senses. Round out your pup’s perfect dog daycare experience with fun activities that encourage natural behaviors and provide complete mental and emotional satisfaction!

  • Sensory Enrichment

    Dogs are hard-wired to explore the world with their senses. Our sensory activities encourage and reward your pet’s curiosity while providing calm stimulation. Scent games, snuffle mats, bubble play, and cozy story times pique your pup’s interest in new and novel ways.

  • Physical Enrichment

    Active dogs love a challenge! Physical enrichment gives pups an exciting outlet for their energy while building confidence and coordination. Obstacle courses, engaging toys, splash time in pools, and a variety of play equipment makes daycare even more of an adventure.

  • Mental Enrichment

    Just like people, dogs benefit from exercises that engage their brains. Our mental enrichment activities encourage problem-solving, critical thinking, and focus through fun games and puzzles. Lick mats, seek-and-find games, and interactive challenges keep dogs thinking while they play.

Enrichment activities are provided between your pup’s regular playtimes, making their daycare visits extra fun and fulfilling. Please call to hear more about our enrichment options and add them to your pet’s next visit!

Dog Daycare FAQ

What vaccinations are required for dog daycare?

For the safety of all our dog daycare guests, we require proof of immunization against rabies, distemper, Bordetella, and canine influenza.

Do you require reservations for daycare?

Safety is our top priority at Happy Tails Pet Resort. We keep our group sizes small to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog. Therefore, we do require reservations so we can staff accordingly.

Do you require a daycare evaluation?

Our goal is for each new guest to join us and enjoy the safest and most fun daycare program possible. The first step is a daycare evaluation day, reservation required, where your dog comes and plays with our certified Pet Care staff in small play groups with other dogs to see if dog daycare is the best fit for them!

How does daycare benefit dogs?

Daycare is especially designed to benefit dogs by providing them with a safe, secure way to have fun, exercise, and socialize. Happy Tails Pet Resort’s dog daycare keeps your pet’s mind and body active, exercises their social skills, and channels their energy in healthy ways. It’s proven to reduce challenging behaviors that stem from loneliness and boredom, such as excessive barking, destructive chewing, digging, and more.

Can I tour your facility?

Yes, we’d love for you to see our pet resort. Please stop by during our normal operating hours and a team member will take you on a tour!

Do you offer daycare packages?

Yes! Daycare is most beneficial to dogs who visit on a regular basis. We offer discounted daycare packages so your dog can make the most out of daycare while you enjoy the savings.

Can my un-altered pet attend daycare?

We are happy to offer daycare for unaltered puppies under the age of 1 year old who are up-to-date with the required vaccines. For the safety of all our guests and staff, male dogs that are over the age of 1 are required to be neutered. We are unable to accept any un-spayed female dogs who are in heat, approaching heat, or have just come out of heat.
