Finding the right dog daycare isn’t as easy as picking the first one that you see on your way to work. Here’s what you need to know before you choose the right dog care for your dog.
Consider your dog’s personality
Before you head on over to the dog daycare take a moment to consider your dog’s personality. Is your dog playful? Or is she aggressive? That’s going to be a factor if you plan to bring her to the doggy daycare.
Check if it’s safe
You love your dog. That’s why you wouldn’t want to put your dog in any danger. If you’re going to bring her to the doggy daycare, check if the facility provides proper supervision and has security measures in place. Look for proper fencing and gates. Are there emergency procedures? What are the procedures in case a dog gets hurt? Ponder over these thoughts when you choose a doggy daycare for your dog, Pet WebMD says.
Ask if they separate the dogs
Dogs should be separated. And not only by size but by temperament and play style as well. If you’ve got a big dog, you’ll want to make sure she doesn’t hurt any of the other pets accidentally. Separating the dogs will ensure that.
Research about the daycare
Don’t hand over your dog’s care to just anyone. Research. Find out if the staff have the credentials and training to take care of your dog. In case something happens, you want someone competent and with the right skills to make sure the animals are safe and cared for properly.
Know the signs
There are plenty of bad daycares out there. Keep your eyes peeled for the signs. Are they reluctant about giving tours of the facility? Are there unpleasant odors greet you when you arrive at the kennel? Does the staff is untrained and uninterested? If the answer is yes to any of these, then you should look elsewhere.
