Why is an introduction day required?

An introduction day helps our team get to know your dog, evaluate their comfort level in a group setting, and ensure they're a good fit for our daycare and boarding environment. It also allows your dog to become familiar with our staff and facility before longer visits. This approach is commonly used by leading pet care facilities to promote a positive first experience.

How do I schedule my dog's first daycare or boarding visit?

Simply complete the New Client Form and contact Playful Pets by phone or email to arrange your dog's first introduction day. Our team will guide you through the registration process and answer any questions before your visit.

Why are vaccination requirements important?

Vaccination requirements help protect every dog that visits Playful Pets by reducing the risk of contagious illnesses and creating a healthier environment for daycare, boarding, and grooming services. Keeping vaccination records up to date is an important part of responsible pet care and is a standard practice across reputable boarding and daycare facilities.
