Daycare Rates, Hours, Policies

Daycare

FIRST TIME VISITORS:

• Your first step to getting your dog started with our Daycare program is to fill out a Daycare Application!
• From here, we will contact you to set up your dog’s first visit and let you know if you need to submit any additional materials (vaccination records and so forth).
• Your dog’s first day at Daycare is basically an interview to see how they do in the daycare environment, with other dogs and people.
• It is very low-keyed and should not be stressed over. We take our time integrating your dog into the group slowly at first.
• When you return to pick up your dog from their first day, we will let you know how your dog did and proceed from there!

  • The health and safety of your dog is YOUR responsibility.
  • Lucky Paws has made every effort to ensure the cleanliness of our facility, including a 24-hour circulation system that cleans the air. However, you need to have thorough discussions with your vet about what is best for your dog’s individual needs.
  • Your dog will be exposed to a large number of animals at Lucky Paws, and all the dogs attending daycare will be outside (in a rural setting) for the majority of their day.
  • We require the removal of all collars at check in – including flea and tick collars.
  • Your dog will be examined at check-in, and you will be charged for any vet visits or treatments required.

Any dogs that have received any vaccinations within 3 days of their scheduled daycare visit will not be admitted.
