Why Take Your Dog To Dog Daycare?
Why Dog Daycare? Let Canine To Five help your dog out socially, physically, and emotionally!
When I first told friends and family that I was going to open a dog daycare in the Cass Corridor in 2005, they thought I was crazy. I tried to explain the many benefits of dog daycare, but I don't think they got it. Fast forward 8 years - our first location serves over 75 dogs per day, and we're opened a new place in Ferndale, right on Hilton Road north of 9 Mile. I still get the question all the time though - why would someone take their dog to daycare? And my answer is - lots of reasons.....
- Daycare will benefit your dog socially, physically, and emotionally.
- Your dog will learn social skills, with other dogs and humans.
- Your dog will be exercised, which aids weight control.
- Daycare will allow you and your dog to relax at the end of the day.
- Daycare decreases boredom that can lead to destructive behavior such as barking and chewing.
- Dogs are pack animals. Daycare gives your dog the opportunity to interact with others.
- Your dog’s special needs, such as medicine administration, will be met.
- You will gain peace of mind in knowing that your dog is being taken care of.
- Your dog’s simple manners, such as “sit, down and no bark” will be reinforced.
