Nala has been going to Doggy Daycare about once a week for a few years now. The daycare is 1/2 mile from my home and we have known the owners for years. They are separated by size and temperament and require proof of vaccinations and remind you 30 days before vaccinations are due. They have plenty of staff and they don't have much turnover in staff. I saw an application for employment and it has very specific questions about how you would deal with certain situations and there is a note telling them what to expect. I was impressed with the screening for employment as well as screening for dogs.
Nala gets so excited when we get there and the girls seem excited to see her as well. She smells like perfume sometimes when I pick her up... I think she gets cuddled during nap time.
It is nice to be able to take her there if we are having any work done at our home that would require someone going in and out or she can go for a couple of hours if we are having family gatherings..... Nala doesn't care for my nieces and nephew. She goes there while we are on vacation and is in the daycare part during the day. They will give her a bath the day we return so she smells good. We love it and know she is having her own little vacation while we are away... The staff tells me she really does enjoy getting to be a doggy.
