We take care to ensure that all dogs have a positive experience at our daycare. To achieve this, every dog is screened to determine if daycare is a good fit for them. We then place dogs into small, compatible playgroups of 3-5 dogs. These groups are based on similar size and temperament to ensure everyone feels happy, relaxed, and content.

For instance, we have specialized groups for older dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with specific health needs. These groupings help create a more relaxed and suitable environment for each dog’s individual requirements.

Should your dog have difficulty with another dog, we will assess the situation and find the best solution. This may include changing their playgroup.

We have heated snooze rooms where your dog has a choice of sofas and comfy dog beds to escape the weather.  We also have all weather surface play areas and field shelters in the outside play areas.  During inclement weather conditions we switch the focus of the days activities to cognitive exercises, working their noses and brains.    

Yes, we prioritize ensuring that all dogs have a positive experience at our daycare.

Pawprints provides everything your dog needs during their stay. However, if your dog has special dietary needs or requires medication, please bring their food or medication and provide detailed instructions for administration.

For puppies under 16 weeks or dogs who still require lunch, please bring their lunch in a labeled plastic container and we will return it to you at the end of your dog’s day.

The early stages of your dog’s life are key to developing essential social and life skills. We accept puppies from 12 weeks, so long as they have had their 2nd vaccinations.

We require all dogs to be fully vaccinated and we will require a copy of your vaccination certificate. We do not accept titre tests.

We understand that choosing the right daycare for your dog is an important decision. To ensure your dog feels comfortable and confident in our environment, we offer a first-day trial. These trials are typically held on quieter days to provide your dog with a calm and positive introduction to our daycare.

Once your dog officially joins us, we take care to place them in a group with similar personalities and play styles. This ensures they can safely interact and enjoy a balanced day of play and rest. Our goal is for your dog to have the best possible experience every time they visit.

Rest assured, our team is fully trained to handle that. We store client belongings individually and keep all medications safely out of reach of the dogs. We will administer any necessary medication according to your veterinarian’s instructions.

We understand that leaving your beloved pet can be stressful. At Pawprints, we prioritize your pet’s well-being and want to assure you of our commitment to their safety.

Pawprints dog day care can be a wonderful way to boost a shy or anxious dog’s confidence. At Pawprints, all dogs have passed a trial session and temperament assessment, ensuring they can help your dog thrive.

Ongoing sessions under careful supervision with other dogs are ideal for anxious dogs. These sessions gradually introduce your dog to social situations in a controlled and safe environment.
