What To Expect

Just like the first day of school, your dog’s first day of doggie daycare or overnight boarding is fun and exciting, but also requires some getting

used to. Your dog will be able to acclimate to their new surroundings easier and faster if they are allowed to concentrate and take stock of their surroundings while in the care of our experienced staff and without the distraction of Mom and Dad nearby.

On their first day, your dog will be slowly introduced to new friends in a group of other dogs their own size and temperament. They will be rotated through the various play areas, taking their time to get used to all the new sights and smells. Daycare is fully interactive, meaning dogs play ALL DAY LONG!

If your dog needs a rest or a nap mid-day, they will be welcomed to take a rest in one of our Townhomes or on a kuranda bed in a playroom. We do not feed dogs during the day, so please have your dog on a feeding schedule that allows them to go all day without being hungry; an a.m. and p.m. feeding works for most of our townies. Of course, our overnight guests get fed as per their normal routine at home.

Before You Arrive

First, if you are coming for daycare no reservation is required. Drop off and pickup anytime.

If your dog is boarding with us, don’t forget your reservation! In order to expedite the check in and out process, we require a few things:

• Please make sure your dog’s rabies, bordetella (kennel cough), and distemper shots are up to date, and you can provide copies of the vaccinations.

• We strongly encourage you to bring your dog’s own food for their stay. A sudden change in diet can cause upset tummies. To prevent possible discomfort and diarrhea, keeping your dog on the same meal plan really helps!

• We can provide our house food if you forget or if your food runs out.

• If your dog is sick, kindly call us to let us know and please don’t bring them to daycare until they’re back on their paws.

• Please be sure to bring your dog to doggie daycare on a leash.

• You are welcome to bring your dog’s bed, blanket, or anything else you’d

like them to have but please leave anything sentimental at home in the event it gets chewed on, lost, or peed on!

Your First Day

Just like the first day of school, your dog's first day of dog daycare or pet boarding is fun and exciting, but also requires some getting used to.

Watch this so you not what to expect on your first day!

After you get home

• Fully interactive pet daycare is designed to be challenging both physically and psychologically for the dogs. Don't be alarmed if your dog comes home and sleeps for hours on end and appears lethargic. They aren't sick; they're worn out from all the playing! They might just have a Hounds Town Hangover!

• The excitement of being home may make your pet pant and appear very thirsty. We provide fresh water at all times, but they may need to drink more water when they arrive home and throughout the night, especially if they aren’t used to all the activity that comes along with fully interactive doggie daycare.

• You may notice your dog has minor scratches. Again, don't be alarmed. They were just interacting and playing with their new friends the best way they can—with their paws and their mouth.

• By the end of a busy week at daycare or after an overnight visit, your dog may smell a little “doggier” than usual. If your dog comes home tired, smelly, and dirty, it just means they had a great day at Hounds Town! We offer a full-service day spa designed to send your pup home smelling like roses, so please inquire about a bath upon check-in.
