What is dog daycare???
Dog daycare is a new concept in the Lancaster area however it has been in existence in the urban areas for quite some time. Dog daycare differs significantly from day boarding, in which a dog is crated or kenneled during the daytime hours. Dog daycare refers to a facility that allows dogs to play together off-leash and is an alternative to boarding a dog in a crate, kennel or run. Although dog daycare may crate dogs during short periods of time, the dogs spend most of the day playing and interfacing with other dogs. |
| The benefits of a dog daycare are numerous. First of all, the dogs learn how to play with other dogs and increase their social skills. Second, dogs use up a great deal of energy during their time at daycare, which makes for a well-rested pet in the evening. Rather than coming home to a hyper dog who has been alone all day, owners will pick up an exhausted dog whose low energy level matches the owners. Third, dog daycare helps alleviate behavior problems (for example chewing and digging) – particularly in puppies – results from lack of exercise. Dog daycare centers address this by giving dogs the opportunity to play. Finally, owners have a peace of mind knowing their dog will be well cared for and well-exercised through out the day; it allows for guilt-free dog ownership. |
