A Healthy Balanced Day

In our Jacksonville doggy day care service, we offer a harmonious blend of play, physical activity, socialization, educational opportunities, relaxation, and tender care. Each day is meticulously tailored to accommodate your dog’s individual preferences and requirements, fostering their physical, mental, and sensory wellness. This ensures that you have a well-rounded, content, and harmonious companion at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Engaging in physical activities helps your dog maintain a healthy weight, build muscle tone, uplift their spirits, and channel their energy positively. We offer a variety of playgroups tailored for different sizes, available both indoors and outdoors, to encourage appropriate social interactions.
  • Rest: In the midst of play and socialization, we ensure your dog has ample time to rest, relax, and recharge. Our daily schedule is carefully designed to strike the perfect balance between periods of rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning: Dogs learn from both humans and their fellow canine companions. Our expert staff employs positive training methods to promote safe play and assist your dog in mastering healthy social behaviors during their day care experience.
  • Affection: Your dog becomes a cherished member of our Jacksonville doggy day care community, receiving abundant love and care while you’re away. We establish a strong bond with your dog to provide comfort and confidence, gaining a deep understanding of their personality, needs, and preferences through regular attendance.

Dedication to Well-being and Security

The utmost priority for us is the safety and well-being of our guests. As devoted dog parents ourselves, we extend to every dog the same level of care and attention that we offer to our own.

Flexible Group Play

Flexible playgroups allow us to match your dog with the social atmosphere and play schedule they can enjoy and benefit from most. This helps give them a healthy balance of play, rest, and learning and creates a safer social environment with a better quality of play. And our lower dog-to-staff ratios offer more individual attention, education, and love.

Group Play Skills

Interactive group activities and positive reinforcement help dogs practice important skills like name recall, and behaviors like group sit and calmly going in and out of doors and gates. These activities are fun and rewarding for your dog and help improve behavior and impulse control, prevent overstimulation, and create a safer social environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?

Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.

If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.

Do I need to bring bedding, toys, or treats for my dog?

Nope! We got you covered! Most dogs will not need any bedding for a single day of day care. If your dog is boarding with us, see our Sleepover Guidelines. As far as treats and toys, we have plenty! Please ask about which toy and treat products are available.
