Doggie day Care

[kwaymon]

I've been thinking about enrolling my pup once or twice a weeks for 1/2 day for the socialization. Do you guys think this is a good or bad idea. I don't work so it's not nessacay for those reasons, I just want him to be well socialized. Opinions?

[MyFairLacy]

yes, I think it's a great idea

a GREAT idea! I take my guys to work with me everyday but they have been to daycare and they LOVED IT!! It's a fabulous thing for your baby!

[~Yorkie~Mommy~]

I think is a FABULOUS idea!!!!

[kwaymon]

Okay, so what should I be looking for/ abvoiding in a daycare?

[grayxie]

My boys have been to day camp at PetSmart and they love it. We also try to arrange to go when their park friends are there, so they feel a bit more comfortable. Look for if the place is clean, the employee's are attentive, and what size dogs are usually there. They should allow you to take a tour to check things out for yourself.

I think it is a very good idea.

[ARCHIE]

Yes, that's a great idea.
I enrolled Buddy for a couple of months, however, I stopped going
when I was asked to get the Bordella shot (kennel couch) every six
months. Seems it's a law in NY! My vet said one time a year is enough
but the day care wanted 2x so I stopped going. It was not the money,
it is inexpensive. I did not want to put more chemicals into his body
if it was not necessay. It is great socialization for them.

I think it's a good idea as long as you can find somewhere that you really trust. And, make sure that the big and small dogs are separated.

PetSmart day camp is like that too, so no more camp for us until after the summer when he gets his bordatella again.

Yes twice a year for day care in NY.
I guess you could stay alittle bit but I doubt if you could stay
for the length of time your pup would be there.
I am sure your puppy will be safe and sound.
I went to a Buddy's Day Camp in Westchester.
It was a wonderful set up and I felt bad I stopped taking him.
Perhaps he would not be aggressive with large dogs today had
I not. When the vet said once a yr is enough that did it for me.
But they have to do what they have to do to stay in business.
