Dog Daycare 101: Your Pup’s First Day

Dropping your furry friend off at daycare can feel like a big moment. It’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness – after all, you want everything to be perfect for your four-legged family member. Playday Pups dog daycare is designed to make this transition smooth and fun for both you and your pup.

First things first, let’s talk about identification. Your dog needs to be wearing a comfortable collar with a clear ID tag that has your current contact information. This is your pup’s ticket to safety, ensuring they can be quickly reunited with you if needed. A sturdy leash and or a well-fitted harness are must-haves for your arrival and departure.

The success of your dog’s first day depends on thorough preparation. Consider your dog’s specific needs – some pups require medications, special feeding instructions, or have unique care requirements. Pack a lunch in a container. Any medications should come in their original bottles with clear, detailed instructions. The more information you provide, the better care your pup will receive.

Weather can be unpredictable in Burlington, so consider bringing a light jacket or sweater for your dog. Choose something that allows for easy movement and doesn’t restrict play.

We know the first day can feel a bit nerve-wracking for both you and your pup. At Playday Pups, rest assured that most dogs quickly settle in and start enjoying our carefully curated group of playful friends. To keep you connected and worry-free, we’ve developed a user-friendly mobile app that provides real-time updates throughout the day. You’ll receive instant notifications with adorable pictures and videos, along with detailed tracking of your dog’s activities – from bathroom breaks and water intake to meal times and medication administration.

When you pick up your furry friend, either Tara or Dave will personally provide you with a comprehensive update on how your pup enjoyed their day. We’re committed to making your dog’s daycare experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible!
