Well we actually reside in Seattle and there Bruce attends The Downtown Dog Lounge. There Bruce has a cubby hole and I put all his daily stuff for him in it, including lunch and treats. They would provide this but they feed different stuff than I do. I purchased a yearly unlimited daycare pass for $4500, so like $375 a month, but they refunded $1100 since we had to come to Alaska for work for 3 months. This includes up to 12 hours of supervision a day. A typical day at this daycare for Bruce is getting dropped off by Mom at 8a.m. and playing with the 6 other small dogs in his "pack" with toys and what not inside. They have a really cute little room for his pack it has little furniture, toys, and an indoor patch of grass! At 10 he gets an individual walk for about a 1/2 hour around a park, then he comes back and usually has lunch and a nap on his own personal little bed. 2-4 is group activity time and believe it or not they play organized games! Then again they have individual playtime and he gets a 1/2 of "snuggle time" with his "teacher". I usually pick him up at 6. Once a week they give him a bath and dry (haircut if he needs it) and clip his nails as well. Also they will take him to the vet or anywhere I need him to go for an extra charge. Also I get a weekly report card about his behavior, a monthly picture, and I can check in on him via webcam all day!!! Oh yeah and he can sleepover night once a month when they have their "sleepovers"! They have other things like holiday parties for the dogs and give them special treats and things on their birthdays! Truly going to Downtown Dog Lounge is essential for any pampered pooch with working parents in Seattle!
Here in Alaska he goes to a place called Artic Tails. Basically the same services minus the grooming, and little extras like pet taxi service, and it is a whole lot cheaper...Only $250 for June-August!!!
