DOG DAYCARE

These terms and conditions are important to read and to agree. They have been drawn up to protect all dogs attending the day care and to minimise the risk to your dog. You will be asked to sign a copy of the terms and conditions before your dog is allowed access.

Before attending day care, it is important that your dog goes through the once off assessment process to ensure your dog is suitable for day care. For safety reasons we must be sure your dog is socialized and confident with other dogs. There is no judgement of dogs in this process. Assessments are held on Saturday mornings, last a minimum of two hours and are charged at €20 per dog. Booking is required.

Daycare is not for every dog. Some dogs are very sociable and love to play with other dogs, but some dogs find the experience extraordinarily stressful, and a day in day care would be far too much for them. If your dog is not well socialized and you are looking for help with your dog you are very welcome to talk with us about training or other solutions.

After assessment we will meet with you and discuss the findings with you.
