Doggy Day Camp

For just $ 18 per day, your dog can go have a blast at Day Camp while you’re off running in the ol’ rat race. But wait– don’t just show up with Mugsy the day of your big meeting– you’ll need to call and schedule a free screening first. Doggy Day Camp requires all campers to be people and dog friendly, so staffers will do a meet and greet with you and your dog to ensure that all requirements are met– dogs must weigh over 12 pounds, provide proof of vaccination, and display no aggression towards people or dogs in the interview.
While at Day Camp, Pickles will enjoy supervised play with groups of dogs sorted by personality type. When he’s tired, comfy beds are provided for naps– or if he prefers privacy, he can retreat into crates with the doors left open. Staff will feed treats (with your permission– make sure to mention if your dog has food allergies!) and give snuggles and affection to your dog throughout the day. The aim is to return to you a smiling, exhausted dog at the end of the day, who’s glad to see you but also sorry to leave!
This is also a full service boarding kennel, and offers training and grooming, even selling a few pet supplies. This is also my only issue with Doggy Day Camp– the owners are spreading themselves too thin, and may be unable to excel in all areas. The selection of foods available to purchase is limited to three brands, none of which are very bad, but none of which I’d feed my dog, either. I can’t speak for the grooming, boarding, or training, but the day camp is always full of happy participants.
