Canine to 5

29/08/2024

I have openings for smaller dogs (under 40lbs) For Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and have a negative f***l from your vet in the last 6 months. They need to already have experience playing with other dogs outside of the home they are in (unless they are under 6ish months old) and having done a socialization puppy class will be considered first. They have to be good with people and other dogs and have no barrier frustration/reactivity at the doors/fences. I also to ease them into being kenneled during lunchtime here, so they need to be used to a crate or kennel. All of these things will help your dog be successful here. If you are interested please use the link and e-mail me the forms. E-mails preferred over phone calls - it is loud here. If you have any questions please reach me at [email protected]

We offer daycare services 5 days a week, Mon-Fri. While your dog is spending the day with us, we will place your dogs into appropriately sized play groups and allow for proper breaks. Each dog must come for an initial trial so that we can observe their play style and assess which group of dogs might...

Wednesday trough Friday will be planned full days. Wednesdays heat index is still in the 90’s so if you’d prefer a half day tomorrow please just let me know when you plan to pick up. 🐕💜 Thursday and Friday so far look to be in the 80’s

I was really hoping we were out of the woods for strong heat indexes, but summers not quite done with us. I will likely be closed Monday. I will keep an eye on Tuesday and Wednesday and keep everyone updated as we get closer.

Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be dangerously hot, with Tuesday looking the worst. Now is the time to prepare, including considering altering outdoor plans. This will be the hottest air to impact our area so far this summer!

Given we are coming out of a prolonged period of relatively cool and less humid weather, the heat next week will feel noticeably oppressive. Don't let this sneak up on you! Prepare now! https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat

I have had such a sudden influx of daycare inquiries I thought I would explain some things.
I am pretty full prior to everyone currently reaching out, but I do have room for smaller dogs here and there.
This sudden increase in interest came right at the transition of school getting back in, so existing clients schedules are changing and I need to give it a week or two before we are settled and I know which days everyone is staying on.
Not all dogs that get a trial will make it at daycare even if they've gone to another daycare. We play in smaller play groups here and as much as I would love to accommodate everyone I will let you know if your dog seems stressed and this might not be the environment for them. I do my best to make sure each dog is happy while here and that they actually want to be here.
I am the only one here. This means my numbers per day are capped once I hit it and it also means when I am returning phone calls and emails that it might take me a little longer ESPECIALLY on trial days. I know it is frustrating, but I am making sure that I am watching the play groups and picking up as many cues as possible early on so we can adjust or I can thoroughly give you an update.

Email initially is preferred. If you leave me a voicemail you are welcome to call back within 12 hours, but I cannot guarantee I can get to the phone faster the more you call. I am doing my best to answer everyone and I know another local daycare closed which is sending people to find a new place, but if I threw everyone in at once this daycare would not operate the way it has for 14 years and that is my #1 priority. I will do my best to get back to you as quickly as I can with a date for a trial :)

Thank you for joining me for the Paint Your Pet night! It was my first time doing something like that, and I always have fun with pets and paint, so I hope you did too. The materials were donated, so we raised $300 for Kibble Korner Pet Food Pantry and those in the community that they serve. I am hopeful I’ll be able to host more of these 🐕💜

This Saturday is the Paint Your Pet event for Kibble Korner. I have 3 spots left so far! I would need payment and images sent to me by Thursday to make sure I can get them on canvases for you. If anyone wishes to make monetary donation throughout the week I can take that and add it to the envelope for Kibble Korner Pet Food Pantry. I can also take food donation and get that to them as well.
