Dog daycare is a place where dogs come to interact and play with other dogs. This allows your dog to get needed exercise and learn to socialize with other dogs.
Just a collar, leash, and of course your dog! Please do not bring your dog in on a retractable leash (Flexileads). Also, no toys or treats are allowed in daycare (treats are ok for boarding).
Not for daycare. Because our staff are needed to watch the daycare it is unsafe to have a staff member leave the daycare to feed a dog. Also, healthy dogs do not require multiple meals daily. We recommend feeding before and after daycare. If your dog is boarding with us please bring enough food to feed them for their stay.
Please refrain from bringing them in for any services if they are showing any signs of illness. We use the Guardian Clean K9 system to mitigate the occurance of kennel cough.
3 steps:
Temperament test must be scheduled in advance.
Early/Late pick ups or drop offs will be assessed on a case by case basis for extreme circumstances only. Please contact us directly for more information. There are no drop offs or pick ups outside of our regular business hours.
We do not offer after hours pick up or drop off for multiple reasons: We have minimal staffing after hours and have enough staff to tend to the dogs but not customers; this represents a security issue for staff and the dogs. We have found that no matter how long we are open we would always have a customer whose drop off or pick up time would be outside our operating hours. For this reason we recommend that customers who find their drop off or pick up times outside our operating hours plan on dropping their dogs off the evening before or pick up the next day.
6:30am – 6:00pm Monday through Friday. We are closed Saturday and Sunday except for boarding drop offs and pick ups at 9:00am sharp and 5:00pm sharp. Please call the facility at (508)210-2704 when you arrive to be let in on weekends
We do not give tours during the week because strange people in the daycare area create a disruption jeopardizing staff and dog safety and there are a lot more dogs in our pack during the week.Video tours provided upon request.
We require the Rabies, Distemper, and Bordatella vaccines. Dogs without these vaccines may not attend daycare, board, or come into the building for grooming.
To ensure the health and safety of all dogs under our care, all dogs entering the building must be up to date on the vaccines that we require.
We do not engage in breed prejudice and find problem dogs are not isolated to only certain breeds. A dog should be deemed vicious when they engage in vicious behavior not because they look a certain way. Every dog has their own personality regardless of their breed.
Every dog who visits Waggerz has access to water at all times of the day. This includes when they are out in daycare, or spending the night. Many times when you reunite with your dog after being away they can get very excited, bouncy, and overstimulated causing them to be extra thirsty when they get home. Also, if your dog is active in daycare it can be a very physical workout. Just like people, they need more water the more active they are.
We have a zero tolerance policy for aggression, and they will no longer be approved to attend daycare or boarding.
It’s not uncommon for a pet to lose some weight while staying in the hotel. Most of the weight loss is due to the excitement of being with other guests and the exercise they receive while playing in our large play areas. Dogs in our care get constant activity which doesn’t always happen at home. In short, dogs will typically burn significantly more calories during their boarding visit than they normally do. Stress may take a toll on a dog’s appetite. A new environment can play a major role. It is common for a dog to not eat for several days because they are in a new place or their owners are gone. It is not possible to force a dog to eat or drink in a boarding environment.
