Doggy Day Care

Often when our dogs are left home alone they are bored, frustrated, anxious and more often than not become destructive.

Why not bring them to Pooch Play Care?.... Proudly supporting Adelaide dog owners!

Pooch Play Care can provide both half day and full day, dog day care sessions depending on what you and your Pooch requires. The schedule of these sessions vary depending on your dog’s character and play style. Some dogs may require a group that has a more rambunctious, physical play style with minimal rest, while others may require a slower group style with a lot more rest times. During your dog’s first visit to dog day care, we are able to ascertain which play area and group they are best suited to and we continue that evaluation throughout their visits with us. We like to see our guests return to you tired, but not so tired they feel overwhelmed and stressed.

Often when our dogs are left home alone they are bored, frustrated, anxious and more often than not become destructive while you're away. A brief walk when you arrive home is nice but its not enough for most dogs. Often they are missing out on hours of real exercise, playtime and the social interaction they sorely need and benefit from.

To join us for doggy day care, owners must complete the online registration information prior to their first visit. With the information you have provided, we introduce our new member gradually depending on their behaviour and response when in a separate play pen. Many dogs who have been socializing from a young age will be able to join a group quickly whilst others may take longer.
