DOGGY DAYCARE

Doggy daycare is similar to a child's daycare. Your beloved dog or puppy is dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening. Each day is filled with social time with other dogs of all sizes and ages. Our focus is to make sure that your dog is adequately socialized and exercised so that they are tired when they get home.

WHY WE ARE THE BEST

Here at Christopher Robin’s, we know how important it is to make sure we maximize the opportunities for your dog to have positive experiences. After all, this is what creates a properly socialized dog who has generalized that all dogs and people are good.

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY

First, we separate dogs into groups that are designed to help your dog build positive experiences. For example, your dog might not really enjoy playing with other dogs (yes, this does happen). So, we would put them with other dogs with similar personalities; dogs who are indifferent to one another. This way, your dog can build confidence being around other dogs and generalize that "dogs are good", or at the very least "I'm okay to be around other dogs because I don't feel threatened". The same applies to high-energy dogs as well. The dogs learn how to play with one another in an appropriate manner and generalize these skills as a way of befriending other dogs. Chances are your dog is going to find a perfectly matched friend while here at daycare.

HOW WE SOCIALIZE YOUR DOG

We keep our groups small, between 3-15 dogs and match dogs based on personality and energy level. We are a pretty small operation and therefore get to know your pup pretty well. After a visit or two, we can determine which group your dog belongs with. We give lots of treats as a way of conditioning your dog that other dogs and people are good.

If your dog is new to the family (purchased, adopted or rescued) they must be in the household for at least two weeks before coming into the facility for daycare or boarding.

Vaccination Documentation:

All vaccination records must be emailed, customer uploaded or faxed to Christopher Robin’s Pet Care prior to drop off.

All vaccination requirements must be up to date:

• Rabies

• DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo)

• Bordetella (“kennel cough” vaccination) note we require this to be done every 6 months. We allow for an additional two month grace period, meaning we would allow reservations if the bordetella is within 8 months. If it has been longer than 8 months, please update this at least two weeks before your reservation.

Note: Know your dog will always have some level of risk of picking up an upper respiratory infection if he/she is in contact with other dogs in boarding or grooming facilities, even without direct contact, and even with being up to date on the bordetella vaccine.
