Often many owners think that doggy daycares are a good replacement or alternative for exercise for their dogs, similar to how many owners view dog parks. The reality though is that for most dogs these types of services are not a good environment or a good match.

Many facilities include structured rest time into their furry clients' day and even have designated areas for snoozing. Some places have nap rooms for their dogs, while others provide individual enclosures where the pups can enjoy a bit of “me time” to balance out all the social activity.

Doggy Day Care Rates $30 per day for one dog (additional $25 per day per dog) $20 per half day for one dog (additional $15 per day per dog) $250 for 10 full days (additional dogs $200)

Although many dogs thrive in a dog daycare environment, daycare isn't right for every dog, or for every stage in a dog's life. Every dog is a good dog, but not every dog has the right temperament for daycare.
