Doggie Daycare

Yappie Cuttery offers doggie daycare for busy pet owners and their energetic dogs Monday-Friday from 6:30am – 6:30pm. Stop feeling guilty about leaving your dog home all day and bring your dog to daycare! At daycare, dogs run and play with other dogs of similar size and play style. Best of all, they go home tired and happy.

Why Daycare?
Doggie daycare is a great way for socialized dogs to play with other dogs and to make new friends. A well socialized dog is likely to be reliable in uncertain situations with new dogs and people. Doggie daycare is also a great way to stimulate your dog mentally and physically. While in daycare, trainers on staff work with the dogs on basic obedience and lead play activities throughout the day. Your dog simply won’t have the opportunity to be bored!

Why Yappie Cuttery?
Our new state of the art facility boasts two pup play rooms with special non-skid flooring. All circulating air is micro-filtered to maintain cleanliness and sanitary, individual kennels are used for nap time. Plus, outdoor play areas have above and below ground security fencing, as well as an awning to keep things cool in the sun.

A Daycare Day...
A day at daycare starts with a walk on arrival and two more business walks throughout the day. Dogs are offered water all day and fed lunch or administered medication if needed. Dogs are crated mid-day for nap time, which is especially great for sleepy dogs, young and old.

Go Play!
Dogs are supervised 100% of the time by our trained daycare staff. We give all daycare dogs every opportunity to participate in activities, such as playing ball in the play room or in the backyard. If requested, we will take them for a swim in our hydrotherapy pool!

Puppy Pre-School
Puppies require extra attention to work on house breaking and basic manners. Puppy Pre-School includes one on one basic training to positively reinforce commands such as sit, down, stay, come, loose-leash walking, handling and socialization for puppies. A pup’s critical period of socialization is up to 16 weeks of age and it’s crucial that they have many positive experiences with other pups and people during this time.

Who Can Play?
Dogs as young as twelve weeks and up. All dogs must be dog friendly, spayed or neutered, and up to date on Distemper-Parvo (DHLPP), Rabies and Bordetella. We do recommend that your dogs be on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. If we notice fleas a Capstar will be administered.

Evaluation
Prior to coming to doggie daycare, your dog will be evaluated by one of our trainers. Bring your dog in for a day of daycare and we will evaluate them at that time. No need to try to plan a special time to come in and pay a special fee. We will be happy to report to you about your pet when you come to pick them up in the evening.
