What a chilly day today but it didn’t stop the pups from playing hard and having a great time.

Also in the post today are some pics from the grooming department with groomer Julia working on a rare Monday with a willing assistant - handler Jailene who wants to learn to bathe.

IMPORTANT REMINDER -
Just please remember to take them home if they get taken off…..

As cooler temps become the norm this is a question we get asked all the time.......

DOES MY DOG NEED TO WEAR A COAT AT DAYCARE?

Doggy winter coats are adorable and, for the most part, they can keep your pup dry and warm. What’s not to love? As the saying goes, “If you’re cold, they’re cold,” right?

While there are breeds that can be more susceptible to discomfort during snow days than others, there are also dogs who have their own built-in winter coats that can keep them cozy during chilly days.
If you have a dog with a thick, double coat, it is best to leave their jackets at home as double coated dogs can easily become overheated if they wear sweaters inside.

COMMON BREEDS THAT DON’T NEED A WINTER COAT:
• Siberian Huskies
• Newfoundlands
• Golden Retrievers
• Bernese Mountain Dogs
• Australian Shepherds

There are also a few small breeds that, if not shaved down, can keep warm on their own, too!
• Pomeranians
• Shih Tzus
• Havanese
• Shiba Inu
• Shetland Sheepdogs

If your dog naturally has short hair, or recently received a short haircut, you may be in the market for a cute winter coat!

COMMON BREEDS THAT COULD USE A WINTER COAT:
• French Bulldogs
• Chihuahuas
• Greyhounds
• Pit Bulls
• Weimaraners
• Great Danes

You are encouraged to bring your pup in a coat or sweater but here are some guidelines when it comes to gearing up your pup for the snowy season.

Label your dog’s coat with their first name and last initial. If our handlers think your dog may be too warm, they will remove their coat to make them more comfortable, and we don’t want to mix up your pup’s coat with another’s!

• When getting ready to go, put your pup’s harness on over the sweater. This will help speed up drop off times in the morning.

• Be aware of wear and tear! Since your dog will be playing with others all day, it is very possible their cute sweater may become ripped by another enthusiastic playmate. It’s best to leave expensive winter coats at home and have a designated daycare sweater.

• Remind our desk team that your pup has a sweater at pick up time. In the event your dog’s coat does get removed, it may be left behind when it’s time to gear them up to go home. Letting our desk team know your dog had a coat with them will allow us to alert our staff and bring everything up to you at once.

Not to worry - our handlers are trained to understand doggy body language. If our team believes your dog may be uncomfortable due to the weather, they will bring them in to warm up . If you know your dog is sensitive to this chilly weather, let us know! We will be sure to keep an extra eye on them for you.

There are SOO many wonderful things about Dog Days (and no I'm not biased because I work here - my pup was a client looooong before I started here!) and one of the most wonderful things is we are open 365 days a year. Dogs don't take holidays so we don't!

Over the next couple weeks it will be very busy around here. Pups are staying over for their own vacations while their families are away, but we still have plenty of room on the holidays themselves for daycare. Instead of leaving your pup home for the day you can drop them here and they can play with their friends instead of being home alone or having to share their homes with lots of people interrupting their sleep.

As always, daycare reservations can be made via the portal and drop off is between 7AM-10AM and pick up is by 7PM. **For those boarding customers please keep in mind that those times don't change for boarding**

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday no matter where you spend it. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you in the upcoming year. Enjoy a joyful holiday season!
