About Us

Our facility gives us the great opportunity to offer something that most daycares do not, puppy daycare. Because of the fact that our play areas, outside and inside, are separated for size and demeanor we are able to provide a safe play environment for the little ones. Starting socialization early is so important to help your dog develop into a confident, independent, tolerant, and well rounded pet that can play well with other dogs and people. Having this capability helps to keep our clients at ease that their new puppy will still get socialization and stimulation, not to mention a release of all that energy, and not be in danger of getting hurt or scared by the bigger adult dogs.
