Why Dog Day Care Has Gone From Fad to Familiar Routine

Dog Day Care isn’t just the latest fad in the world of the loving pet owner. Doggie Day Care is actually a much needed commodity for pets. As dog owners are working more, taking business trips and going on family vacations, having someone take care of a pet with proper attention and care can be an issue.

Dog day care for your furry family member has many benefits for both you and your pet. Here are just a few of those benefits:

• Improving Socialization Skills: For dogs to learn to act politely around people and other pets, a dog needs to be around other dogs. Through consistent socialization, he or she learns how to play nicely and the proper way to introduce itself to other dogs. Interestingly, one dog can also teach another dog appropriate behaviors through social learning. This socialization can also lead to a more confident, self-assured pup.

• Eliminating Loneliness: Dogs are social animals, and most dogs don’t like being alone – especially for extended amounts of time. This is why your favorite shoes get chewed on and other destructive actions can occur beyond the puppy years. Your pet misses the having another creature around him or her. Dog Day Care allows your pet to interact with other dogs and to have companionship.

• An Energy Outlet: Keeping your dog exercised is critical for both health and happiness. Furthermore, having a neighbor stop by when you’re at work to take your pet for a walk or a potty break isn’t enough by itself. But when your pet is at a day care facility, running and playing with the other dogs, keeps your canine from becoming restless. It also allows your pup to be more relaxed in the later hours, after a day of play and interaction.

• A Change of Scenery: Everyone likes a change of scenery and a break from their daily routine. This logic also applies to pets – especially dogs! Spending a day or two at Dog Day Care each week will be like a little vacation for your pup. He or she visits friends, rests in a new environment, plays with new toys and experiences new treats. The experience overall is new and exciting every time.

• Peace of Mind: Although, on paper, it sounds great to have a neighbor child or friend peek in on your pet while you’re at work or running errands through the weekend. However, a Dog Day Care facility offers top trained, caring and experienced pet handlers to keep a watchful eye on your dog throughout the day. Your dog will experience interactions with humans, other dogs – and if they’re lucky pet TV Shows and/or Movies. They will experience music and pet handlers will always be aware of your pet’s safety and happiness.
