Safe Socialization

For many dogs, playing with other dogs is incredibly enriching and satisfies an innate desire to be part of the “pack.” Dog daycare provides a safe, accountable, and professional place for dogs to socialize safely. Your dog will only play with vaccinated dogs who have been vetted for friendliness and specially chosen as compatible playmates. At the dog park you don’t know the social compatibility and vaccination status of other dogs, making it significantly less safe than dog daycare.
