Advantages of Daycare

IMPROVES SOCIALIZATION

At daycare, they will learn and develop their socialization skills with other dogs. With their pack mentality, spending time with other dogs can improve their quality of life.

INCREASES EXERCISE

With all the exercise and play time they receive, it will help them stay fit and maintain a healthy weight.

PROVIDES A ROUTINE

Our daily schedule gives your dog a routine that gives them a comfort of knowing they will have a fun-filled day of play and attention. This helps us reinforce good behavior and give them the best experience possible.

RELIEF OF BOREDOM

Daycare provides a relief of boredom they may have while they are home alone instead. This helps eliminate the opportunity for destruction, built up energy, and long days or nights.

EASIER EVENINGS

​
After an active day at daycare, you should see a tired dog. Daycare allows you to have a relaxing evening while your pup decompresses from their active day.

​​BOARDING

Are you looking for a fun, safe, and loving place for your dog while you're away on vacation or traveling?

Critter Nanny offers overnight boarding 365 days a year as your dog’s home away from home. We are the perfect place for dogs that love to play and socialize.  Unlike traditional kennels, boarding dogs take advantage of our full daycare schedule at no additional charge.

​DOG DAY CARE  

Does your dog have tons of energy or just need to be socialized more?  Our dog day care can provide your playful dog an outlet for their energy in an appropriate and supervised environment.  Simply drop them off on your way to work in the morning and pick them up on the way home in the evening.  If you have errands to run, repairmen in the house, or guests, you can drop your dog off for half days too. ​

​PREPARING FOR A DOG BOARDING STAY:

THINGS TO PACK IN YOUR PET’S BAG

1. FOOD

Most pet owners stick with 1 to 2 different types of food that they know their dog enjoys. If you have ever tried to introduce a different type of brand or food to your dog, you know that this can cause a negative change in appetite and even upset stomach. Since your dog may already feel uneasy in the unfamiliar environment of the dog daycare, you want to keep the other aspects of his life as normal as possible. Make sure you pack enough food to last the entire duration of your dog’s stay. 

2. MEDICINE & SUPPLEMENTS

Many dogs must take certain medication and/or supplements on a daily basis, and Critter Nanny will be happy to administer these to them as needed. Include the appropriate number of doses that your dog will need to take in your absence, as well as written instructions with details such as dosage amount and schedule. 

​3. A REMINDER OF HOME

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is especially true for pets and their owners. No matter how much fun you and your pet are having, you on your vacation and your dog with his new friends, you will surely miss each others’ company. To keep your dog feeling close to you even in your absence, include something with your scent. This can be a blanket, t-shirt, or even a sock. This is a wonderful way to help your dog feel comfortable, calm, and stress-free.

4. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY CRITTER NANNY

If you have not submitted all of the paperwork necessary beforehand, be sure that all required documents and forms are ready to present on drop off day. This could include everything from medical records, vaccination charts, contracts, and rule acknowledgment forms. Contact me if you have any questions about a specific form or document.
