Daycare

Need a safe and fun place for your dog to spend the day while you’re at work or running errands? Our veterinary-supervised doggie daycare offers a structured, engaging environment where your pup can play, socialize, and receive loving care from our team who treats them like family. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or just needs a little extra stimulation during the day, daycare at our hospital gives them the opportunity to stay active, burn off energy, and receive the attention they crave—all while you enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in expert hands.

Structured Care for Happy, Healthy PUPS

Why Choose Veterinary-Supervised Daycare?

Unlike traditional pet daycare centers, our facility is staffed by trained veterinary professionals who understand animal behavior, health, and safety. This means we’re not just watching your dog—we’re actively monitoring their well-being throughout the day.

Benefits of our doggie daycare include:

  • Supervised socialization with other friendly, vaccinated dogs
  • Physical and mental stimulation through play, enrichment, & downtime
  • A safe, clean, climate-controlled environment
  • Ongoing monitoring by trained animal care staff
  • Immediate access to medical care if needed
  • Relief from loneliness, boredom, and destructive behaviors at home

Whether your pup is bouncing with energy or needs a slow introduction to group play, we tailor their experience based on their temperament, age, and activity level. Our team takes the time to get to know your dog and make their day as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

What to Expect During Your Dog’s Daycare Stay

When your dog arrives for daycare, they’ll be greeted by familiar faces and quickly settled into their daily routine. Our schedule includes:

  • Group Play Sessions: Supervised indoor or outdoor play with well-matched companions
  • Nap/Quiet Time: Rest breaks to keep dogs from becoming overstimulated
  • Enrichment Activities: Toys, games, and puzzle feeders to stimulate their mind
  • Personal Attention: One-on-one interaction with staff for pets who prefer human companionship

We maintain small group sizes to ensure every dog receives the attention and supervision they need to stay safe and happy.

Safety First – What You Need to Know

To protect all dogs in our care, we follow strict health and safety protocols. Prior to participating in daycare, your pup must:

  • Be up to date on their annual exam
  • Have current core vaccinations (including rabies, distemper/parvo, and Bordetella)
  • Be on a year-round parasite prevention plan
  • Pass a behavioral assessment (if required) to ensure compatibility with group play

We may adjust playgroups or provide individual activities for pets with special needs, anxiety, or health concerns.

Daycare Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours

Whether your pup is staying with us for play, socialization, or a little extra attention during your workday, we make drop-off and pick-up easy and stress-free. Our goal is to provide a safe, engaging environment with flexible hours that work for your schedule.

Call the Template team to confirm hours and availability.

We recommend morning drop-offs so your dog can get the most out of their playtime and daily enrichment activities. Our team will be there to greet them with tail wags, treats, and a safe, supervised space to thrive.

Please note, daycare hours may vary during holidays or special events. To avoid scheduling surprises, please check with our team ahead of your dog’s visit
