Dog Daycare

The Best Doggie Daycare

Does your dog experience loneliness and boredom, or get into mischief while you are away? Not at Bow Wow Bungalow’s doggie daycare! Our enriching dog daycare program keeps pets having fun and spending their energy in constructive ways while you’re at work or out for the day. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is making new friends (human and canine alike), playing to their hearts’ content, and getting plenty of attention in our fully supervised, indoor/outdoor daycare facility. Find out why Yelp! named us the Best Doggie Daycare in the area.

We take the safety of the pets in our care very seriously, so each dog must first complete a Meet and Greet to ensure that they are a good fit for daycare.

What about Safety? 

Safety is our specialty at Bow Wow Bungalow. Doggie daycare is such a fabulous option for social pups because it’s a safe, controlled environment for safe play with other friendly pets under watchful human care. Here’s how we keep our daycare safe and comfortable for all our furry guests:

  • Our two yards are split into two separate play groups. They are both a careful mix of dogs based on size, energy level, and temperament.

  • Playgroups are always supervised by our highly trained staff

  • Every dog must pass their First Day of Daycare to ensure they are a good match for our doggie daycare.

  • Pets can enjoy scheduled rest periods or breaks from over-stimulation inside our climate-controlled accommodations

  • Plenty of shaded areas including canopies and trees

  • Water park area for keeping cool on hot days

  • Strict vaccination standards 

  • Fencing and gates around the facility

  • Temperature-controlled indoor play yard

  • Facility is monitored by cameras throughout

Bow Wow Bungalow Three Strike Policy

At Bow Wow Bungalow, we welcome between 75-100+ dogs a day. The pups play in groups, split across our three spacious indoor and outdoor yards.

At a facility this large, our safety protocol is of the utmost importance. Before admittance, every dog must complete a first day of daycare evaluation.

We always prioritize safeguarding your dogs. Our Three Strike Behavioral System ensures your dog's experience is safe, fair, and fun. Dogs can receive a strike for displaying repetitive unwanted behaviors while under our watch. If your dog receives three strikes, they will no longer be allowed into the play yards.

It's important to keep in mind that your dog may behave differently in a large group of dogs. We may inform you of behaviors being displayed that you as an owner have never experienced before.

Benefits of daycare

Benefits of Dog Daycare

Doggie daycare is tons of fun, but it’s also highly beneficial to your pet’s physical and mental well-being. Here’s how:

  • Physical Enrichment for Dogs of All Shapes and Sizes. Though it varies, all dogs deserve physical enrichment. Dog Daycare allows them to not only run and play, but to also sniff and explore their vast surroundings - our Play Yards are impressively large. It can also teach them how to relax and calm themselves down as the group of dogs is winding down for the day. We understand how busy pet parents can be. You may wish you had more time for your pet to socialize and explore - that’s where we come in.

  • Mental Stimulation and Social Exposure Reduces Problem Behaviors. All dogs have breed characteristics that make certain activities essential to their overall happiness. If they’re home alone with nothing to do, they will create scenarios to entertain themselves. Often that involves undesirable behaviors like barking, howling, and destruction inside your home. Dog Daycare is the perfect place for your pet to channel their attention and energy in healthy ways that are fun and rewarding. 

  • Socialization is Key. Dogs are social by nature. For whatever reason, some dogs miss out on the correct amount of exposure they need to become confident adults. A supervised environment like ours is a great place for dogs to learn (or even sharpen) their doggy social skills and play moves. It will also help them learn proper etiquette for behavior around dogs and new people. Understanding the social hierarchy in a large group of dogs will aid in your dog’s communication skills with their own kind. Any rough play or inappropriate behaviors will be quickly addressed by our staff, as well as by our experienced dog guests. We do allow appropriate dog-to-dog corrections to take place in the yard, but only when a senior staff member or dog trainer is present, and we always interfere if it’s headed toward any type of combative scenario.

  • A Step Above a Pet Sitter. Doggy Daycare remains the ideal play environment for pets compared to pet sitting. At daycare, your pet enjoys a stimulating social experience in a facility built especially for their care and safety. It also avoids the uncomfortable scenario of strangers entering your home, surprise interactions with questionable dogs or people, and it gives you some peace of mind to know your pet is inside of our facility playing safely.

The Importance Of Resting

Routine rest time during daycare is not only important to the health of your pet, but also for the safety of the entire pack. Resting refers to the downtime in between playtimes during daycare. This gives your pet a chance to recuperate so they do not exhaust themselves before their visit comes to an end, which is especially important for our full day guests. Additionally, resting significantly decreases the chances of injuries within the pack. Just like with humans, rest allows for both mental and physical recovery, for their overall health and wellbeing.
