Day Care FAQ
Quick Answers
Do I need an intro evaluation?
Yes — required one-time before any day care visit. We meet your dog, watch their play style, and match them to the right program.
What vaccinations are required?
Rabies, DHPP (or DAPP), and Bordetella. Canine Influenza recommended for group play. Send records before your intro.
Which program is right for my dog?
We'll recommend at your intro — confident social dogs typically thrive in Social Club; dogs who prefer fewer friends or need more handler structure do best in Selective Social Circle; high-energy working or athletic dogs that need real conditioning go into Athletic Club.
