When choosing a doggie day care, take as much time and care as you would if you were choosing a day care center for your child.  Call and ask questions like “what services does the daycare provide.”  How much do they cost? Is there a certified dog trainer on hand at all times?  What kind of training do staff members have?  Your dog will be screened for behavior so be sure and ask about that process. Find out about the staff to dog ratio.  There should be no more than 10 to 15 dogs for each staff member.  How many people are on duty? In case of an emergency, there should be at least two at all times. Make sure that you pay the a visit before you sign up.  Is the facility clean? Do the dogs have ample room to play?  If you do the research ahead of time you’ll find the right daycare for your dog and also avoid lots of problems.

Remember, your pets count!
