Day Care FAQ’s

When can I drop-off or pick-up?
There are no limitations on drop-off or pick-up within the business hours. When you drop off, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’d like your dog to do that day. You may want to add on a bath, nails, or a busy bone.

What is the group play like?
We maintain a low dog-to-staff ratio and separate into groups by size and temperament. At Carden Kennels , we use expert judgment and an abundance of caution when placing dogs into play groups.

What if my dog isn’t good with other dogs?
One of the things that makes us unique is individual play yards at our facility. We can offer your pup time on his own to explore and get some fresh air! Weather your dog likes playing fetch, or cuddling up for belly rubs, your dog can have a fun day spending time with our day care attendants and getting exposure to new people and environments.

My dog is shy. Should I bring her for day camp?
Whether your pet is shy, active or outgoing, they all have a place. Some dogs may prefer to get attention from the day camp attendant, while more active dogs usually gravitate toward each other. They will all find it to be an engaging environment! And as time progresses, he/she will become more socialized which makes it easier boarding while you’re away. A great way to start the socialization process is day care. We introduce slowly with one playmate at a time. We don’t rush or force your pet into a play group.

What is the play yard like?
Pea stone, with a secure buried fence. We provide shade and wading pools for those who like to cool off with a dip. The play yard is sanitized on a regular schedule. All pets have constant access to clean water. Toys are provided under supervision.

Can my dog be fed or administered medication during the day?
We do not charge to administer medicine to your pet. We’re happy to care for your pet. Food and biscuits are inclusive in the day camp. We serve a tasty, highly nutritious premium brand food. You may choose to add on our Busy Bone (small fee) to make nap time especially enjoyable. Oral medications may also be administered at this time if applicable. If your pet eats a lunch, we will serve lunch and treats at an appropriate time to allow for digestion before going out for more fun!
Please let us know about any allergies, sensitivities, or if your pet is on a weight management plan, so we are feeding and treating accordingly.

What about extreme weather conditions?
We have 4 covered areas so the dogs can still play the day away rain or shine. Our knowledgable staff take the pups in for warm - up breaks when the snow falls.
