Providing dogs with the space, structure, and environment they need to thrive? Yeah, we’d call that a superpower. ✨🐾
From working in the Back-40 👃 to structured rest time 💤 , every part of our day is designed with the dogs in mind. We balance movement with moments of calm, giving them the freedom to explore while maintaining a stable, low-stress environment.
Because a well-run daycare isn’t about sending home tired dogs—it’s about meeting their needs in a way that keeps them happy, fulfilled, and ready to come back for more!

Slow and steady, but still moving!
For our senior dogs, staying active isn’t just about exercise—it’s about confidence, coordination, and keeping their minds engaged. Navigating uneven terrain like our rock wall and carefully making their way down stairs helps with balance, proprioception (awareness of their body in space), and problem-solving.
These kinds of challenges can also support cognitive health as dogs age, just like how mental and physical enrichment in humans is linked to brain function as they get older. Keeping them moving—safely and at their own pace—can help them stay sharp and strong for years to come.

👻 There’s nothing spookier than the sound of long nails clicking on the floor! 👻
Did you know that regular nail trims are essential for your dog’s comfort and mobility? When nails get too long, it can affect how they walk, causing discomfort and even leading to joint issues. At The Farmstead PAC, we use a dremel to give your pup smooth, rounded nails—perfect for keeping their paws in tip-top shape! 🐾
🌟 Why regular trims?
Long nails can prevent dogs from walking properly on their pads, making it harder for them to run, play, and enjoy life to the fullest.
🔍 Your dog might need a nail trim if…
• You hear their nails clicking on the floor
• Their nails are starting to curl
• They’re showing signs of discomfort when walking or standing
💡 How often should they get a Pawdicure?
We recommend every 2-3 weeks, depending on your dog’s nail growth. Regular maintenance keeps those paws healthy and happy!
📝 Don’t let those claws get spooky-long!
Our Pawdicure service is an exclusive daycare add-on. Simply sign up at the kiosk when you drop your dog off for daycare, and we’ll make sure those nails stay boo-tifully trimmed. 🐕💅
