WHY DAYCARE BEFORE BOARDING CAN HELP?

Every dog has their own personality, routines, and preferences, and attending daycare before boarding gives our team an opportunity to get to know them better. Your dog can become familiar with the facility, including the sights, sounds, smells, and people they will encounter during their boarding stay, without the added adjustment of spending the night away from home. Our team can observe how they interact with other dogs, which activities they enjoy, and how they respond to different situations. This familiarity helps us better understand your dog’s individual needs and how to make their first boarding experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible

WHAT IF MY DOG HAS NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM HOME?

If your dog has never stayed away from home, a first boarding experience may come with a few adjustments. Spending time at daycare beforehand can help introduce them to being away from their normal routine while allowing them to return home at the end of the day. You can also talk with our team about your dog’s personality, sleeping habits, feeding schedule, and any concerns you may have. The more we know about your pup, the better we can prepare for their stay.

GIVE YOUR PUP A HEAD START BEFORE BOARDING

A little preparation can go a long way when it comes to your dog’s first boarding experience. Introducing them to daycare beforehand can help them become familiar with their surroundings, meet our team, and get comfortable with their new routine. If you’re planning an upcoming trip and looking for dog boarding in St. Joseph, Platte City, or Maryville, Missouri, we’d love to help your pup get started with daycare before their stay!
