How Doggy Daycare Makes Every Workday Better

What does your dog do while you’re at work all day? If you’re like many dog owners, you struggle with the decision to leave your dog alone. Your dog might struggle with being left alone. Some dog owners use cameras to keep an eye on their furry family members while others hire dog walkers or dog sitters to check in on their pups throughout the day. Meanwhile, dogs cope with their alone time in various ways. Some happily entertain themselves at home by sleeping, watching passers-by, or engaging in solitary play with interactive toys. Many others suffer from separation anxiety and loneliness and their accompanying destructive behaviors.
You don’t need to choose between work and your dog. At Playful Pack, simply drop your furry friend off, and we’ll take care of the rest.
1. Appropriate Supervision
Dog owners have a few options to keep their pups safe, engaged, and entertained while at work, but only offer so much interest before the dog becomes bored and ready for the next activity. Supervision is critical, and doggy daycare can provide that along with a full range of interactive activities.
You can focus on your job, and Playful Pack will focus on your pup. It’s a win-win situation!
2. Ample Activity
Have you ever come home from a hard, exhausting work day to an overly excited pup full of wiggles and zoomies ready for a rousing game of fetch or a long walk? You’re ready to curl up on the couch for Olympic-level cuddling, but your pup is ready to go.
Dogs need lots of mental and physical activity for good health. When you’re working eight to 10 hours a day, you might not have the energy when you get home to ensure they’re getting that exercise. A sedentary dog is at an increased risk of excess weight, boredom, anxiety, and destructive behavior. At Playful Pack, we can help your dog stay active and healthy with exercise, social activities, and plenty of fun.
At daycare, your dog will also have regular bathroom breaks, and you won’t need to worry about coming home to messy accidents or arranging for dog walkers or dog sitters.
3. Worry-free Friends
Dogs are social animals, and they don’t necessarily enjoy long hours alone. Lonely dogs can develop nervous behaviors, including excessive vocalizations, problem chewing, digging, paw-licking, or reactivity.
At Playful Pack, we have mastered the art of doggy socialization. We start with temperament testing to ensure dogs are placed into the proper pack with other dogs based on temperament and size. All interactions are supervised for fun and safety, and each pack enjoys a rotating calendar of events provided by our dog-loving staff. If your dog gets tired, they can rest or nap on one of our comfy cots or blanket-covered couches.
Your dog will be having the time of their life with both dog and human friends, giving you a chance to get your work done without worrying about their wellbeing.
4. Peace of Mind
Leaving your dog at home alone can be worrisome for any pet “pawrent.” You might worry that they’ll have an accident or get into something dangerous. You may worry about their loneliness, stress, or emotional health. Some dogs have such severe separation anxiety that they must be crated to avoid injury or dangerously destructive behavior. Dog daycare can help you keep your dog safe and enjoy peace of mind.
At dog daycare, your dog will be cared for just as you’d care for them, and they can take part in various activities designed to stimulate their bodies and minds, keeping them active and engaged on every level. They can socialize with furry friends and people and play on equipment designed just for them in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. They can even use the bathroom as needed rather than needing to hold it for hours, uncomfortably waiting for you to get back home or risking an accident. Your workday will be calm, relaxed, and worry-free, and when you get home, you and your dog will both be ready to kick back and relax on terms you both enjoy.
