They get about 2-3 'walks' a day, which is pretty much letting them out in a play room until they go potty. You can also add on for an extra fee extra play time, and doggie day camp where they play with other dogs throughout the day. You can also call anytime to check on your baby, and they even let you call to talk to him so that he can hear your voice

Overall I was very satisfied with his experience. Maximus can't participate in day camp b/c he's not neutered yet, but all the workers seemed so kind and enjoyed playing with him.

However, I would strongly suggest visiting the pets hotel in person and meeting with some of the workers at the hotel. As with any other big name chain, the quality and standards of each location can vary. Sometimes you can find reviews for your location's petsmart online - on yahoo or other search engines.

I hope that helps!
Great info. I live in the Detroit area and was going to try out a PetSmart Pet Hotel down here. I was thinking of taking him there for daycare or leave him overnight just to test it out. Thanks!
