A Healthy Balanced Day

Our Enrichment Dog Day Care offers an exceptional combination of activities to ensure your dog’s holistic well-being. Recognizing each dog’s uniqueness, we customize their day to meet their needs and preferences. Our goal is to nurture their bodies, minds, and senses, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Regular exercise is vital for your dog’s physical health, weight management, and muscle tone. It also enhances their mood and provides an outlet for mental and physical energy, resulting in a more relaxed demeanor at home. Positive experiences with humans, other dogs, and various environments contribute to developing well-rounded and socially adept dogs. Our safe and engaging indoor and outdoor areas offer small and large playgroups.
  • Rest: Just like humans, dogs require ample rest and relaxation to maintain their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our carefully designed daily schedule prevents overstimulation and ensures a harmonious day for your dog by achieving the perfect balance of rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning: Dogs learn not only from humans but also from their interactions with other dogs. Under our guidance, dogs teach each other appropriate social behaviors, fostering healthy play and interaction. Our highly trained staff utilizes positive training techniques to ensure a safe space and helps your dog practice positive social behaviors during day care.
  • Love: When your dog becomes part of our Enrichment Dog Day Care, they become a cherished family member. We provide all the love and attention they need while you’re away, creating a bond that helps them feel comfortable and confident.

Commitment to Safety

Our #1 priority is the safety and well-being of our guests. As dog parents ourselves, we take great pride in treating every dog as our own. And we are committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for everyone that enters our facility.
