Daycare Questions
At Barks & Bones, we welcome dogs of all ages and abilities! Whether your furry friend is a senior or has unique care requirements, our team is ready to provide individualized attention and expertise to ensure they have a wonderful time.
To guarantee a spot for your dog on their preferred days, it's best to book ahead. Our daycare has limited capacity, so scheduling ahead ensures your pup can join the fun!
While it's not required, maintaining a consistent schedule helps us provide the best experience for your dog. If you have set days, consider a standing reservation for added convenience.
Life happens, and we understand. Just give us a heads up if your plans change, and we'll adjust accordingly. You won't be charged for last-minute cancellations, and we'll eagerly await your pup's next visit!
During your dog's initial visit, we'll ensure they feel comfortable and safe. Our caregivers will conduct an assessment tailored to your dog's needs, allowing them to ease into their daycare experience gradually.
To prevent any tummy troubles, it's best if your dog eats at least 1.5 hours before daycare. If that timing doesn't work, just let us know, and we'll adjust accordingly.
Our daycare provides plenty of exercise and stimulation, leaving dogs happily exhausted. We carefully structure their day to ensure they receive the perfect balance of activity and rest.
