Day Care Enrollment Requirements

Our day care enrollment requirements keep playtime fun and safe for every dog, ensuring a worry-free, positive environment. Here’s what’s needed for your dog to participate in group play:

Your Dog Completes a Temperament Test with Us

To make sure every dog in day care is comfortable playing with other dogs, we complete temperament tests with all dogs entering the program. It’s like a personality test that’ll help us know if your dog enjoys group play or if they prefer one-on-one sessions.

Your Dog Is At Least Four Months Old

All dogs must be at least four months old to attend day care, and males must be neutered. Females do not need to be spayed but cannot participate in group activities if they are in heat. All dogs must be in good health and free of open wounds, ticks, and fleas. We welcome all breeds and sizes, even senior dogs!

Your Dog Is Up-to-Date on Vaccinations

All our day care guests must be current on their vaccinations, including DHPP, Rabies and Bordetella. We also accept titer tests. For your dog’s safety, vaccinations and boosters should be completed at least two weeks before their stay. Contact our team with questions or view all hotel policies.
