First Step: Does Your Dog Meet Attendance Requirements?

Call us at 206-782-4321 if you have questions about your dog’s suitability for daycare.

Recent Adoptions:

  • Your dog has been in your home at least 14 days with no signs of illness.
  • If your recently adopted dog is over 5 months of age, you have observed your dog playing well with all sizes of dogs and have taken your dog to the dog park at least 6 times.

Play History Prerequisites:

  • Your dog plays with groups of unfamiliar dogs at least once a week with no concerns.
  • Your dog interacts safely with dogs of all sizes and breeds; Does not scare or pounce on small dogs.
  • Your small dog is comfortable around larger dogs–we do not separate playgroups strictly by size.
  • Your dog does not bark excessively during play. We have a 90-unit apartment building next door!
  • Your dog shares toys and does not snap at or bite dogs or people who come near “their” toy.
  • Your dog is not protective of food or water to an aggressive degree.
  • If over 6 months of age, your dog has never bitten and broken the skin on a human or another dog.

Neuter/Spay Requirements:

  • Male dogs are neutered if over 18 months of age.
  • Unspayed female dogs are not in heat and it is at least four weeks AFTER last heat cycle.

Health Requirements:

  • Your dog is at least 14 weeks of age and has had at least two rounds of vaccinations.
  • Your dog is current on all vaccinations deemed necessary by your vet.
  • Your dog has a clear fecal exam within the last 45 days.
  • Your dog is in good health and free from communicable diseases.
  • If your dog is obese (an 8 or 9 on the Purina Body Condition System), you have written vet approval to start daycare.
  • Toenails: Long toenails can snag and tear, injure other dogs, or injure staff. Long toenails can also cause painful joint issues because the weight distribution on the paw is altered. We know many dogs are uncomfortable with nail trims but we urge you to do your best to keep your dog’s nails a healthy length. If your dog’s toenail or dewclaw snags and tears during daycare, you are responsible for resulting vet bills, which can be costly if the toenail requires amputation!
