How a Doggy Daycare Works

At Tails of Manhattan, we offer doggy daycare and boarding services. Our team members make sure that your dog is cared for during their time with us. Here is what you can expect from daycare for dogs: 

Entrance Procedures

Upon arrival at doggy daycare, staff members complete a brief intake process for your dog. During this process, we assess your pet’s temperament. We do this to make sure that your pet’s personality blends well with the daycare’s current guests. During this initial interaction, staff members also confirm that your pet is fully immunized and spayed or neutered. These entrance procedures help create a safer experience for your dog and the daycare community.

Separation by Size and Temperament

To promote a stress-free environment for the dogs, most doggy daycares segregate the animals based on size and temperament. Small, shy dogs may share a more private space, while larger, energetic dogs share a separate play area. This division maximizes the safety of your pet and helps the dogs find compatible playmates. Inform the daycare staff if your dog is more comfortable around specific types or sizes of dogs. 

Structured Playtime

Daycares may implement structured playtime to provide mental and physical stimulation for the dogs. These activities might include group games, individual play, and supervised interactions. Trained staff members monitor the dogs closely, intervening when necessary to maintain a safe and positive atmosphere. This structured playtime approach can provide socialization opportunities and prevent conflicts within the group.

Rest and Nap Periods

Doggy daycares schedule nap and rest periods to prevent your pets from becoming overexerted. This promotes a balanced routine for dogs in the daycare. Staff members provide quiet, cozy spaces for dogs to get comfortable and recharge. This helps them return to playtime refreshed and ready for more positive interactions.

Mealtime Routines

Daycare services follow specific feeding routines that can be customized upon the pet owner’s request. Some daycares may ask owners to bring pre-portioned meals for their pets. This helps make sure each dog receives the right amount of food for each meal. This approach also accommodates dog’s dietary preferences and addresses potential allergies or sensitivities.

Health Monitoring

At our daycare, we implement strict health monitoring protocols to check for signs of illness or discomfort. Staff members promptly report potential health concerns to owners. Staff member are also trained to respond to emergency health situations. This proactive approach contributes to the overall well-being of your dog.

Safety Measures

Doggy daycares apply safety measures such as installing secure fencing, hiring trained staff, and establishing emergency response plans. These precautions help minimize risks and create a secure space where dogs can enjoy their time. At Tails of Manhattan, our staff members are trained in dog CPR and the Heimlich maneuver to keep your dog safe while at our daycare.
