Why Day Care?
Dogs are social animals and generally get pleasure from the company and attention of their owners. Left alone for long periods, without enough exercise or mental stimulus, they can become bored, frustrated, anxious, which can lead to problems in behaviour.
Dog Day Care refers to short-term daytime care for dogs and offers the mental and physical stimulation dogs crave. It fills a niche between multi-day kennel boarding, home sitting and dog walking. Think of it as a children’s creche – it’s Monday to Friday care, from early morning to early evening. Simply drop off your dog on the way to work or a day out and collect on your way home.
There are varying types of Day Care currently being offered, so please do your homework! Reputable businesses are fully insured and licenced according to the Government’s new conditions for providing day care for dogs under The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. These new guidelines have your dog’s welfare at heart, ensuring Day Care businesses meet the required standards.
