Smarter than your Dog! Day Care emphasizes the development of stable canine packs. For your dog’s well-being, your dog must be brought to day care on the same day each week. Your dog will become familiar with the dogs in attendance on their day and will learn/ practice appropriate canine-canine social skills because they will be under full supervision. They will enjoy a rich, stimulating day, play and go home tired.
If this sounds like a good fit for your needs, please follow these steps:
  1. Schedule a Handling/Evaluation Appointment by calling, (360) 293-2155, or emailing a request to . (The Evaluation will assure us that your dog is safe for our staff to approach and handle while on the day care floor.)
  2. Please complete this application and bring it with you to the Handling/Evaluation Appointment.
  3. Bring a copy of your dog’s current immunization records or fax in advance to (866) 850-7557.
