The Factors To Consider When Selecting A Suitable Dog Daycare Longmont CO Facility

By Ann Schmidt


Doggy daycare is the best way to manage your pet when you are busy with other activities. There are many establishments which offer these services, and sometimes, it can be difficult to pick the ideal facility. However, just like you do with your child, you want to make sure that the doggy day care service you get not only fits into your work schedule, but also caters for the needs and the safety of your dog. Here, are the factors that you need to consider when looking for dog daycare Longmont CO service.

The first thing that you need to do is to set aside time on your schedule and go have a look at the premises. Most dog owners make the mistake of leaving the decision about the best daycare facility to the last minute. They therefore end up with the only available option and not the most appropriate. When you tour the facilities, you are able to figure out if it is well ventilated; the floors are clean and whether it is properly fenced, all which impact on your pets safety.

After you have made sure that the physical conditions of the pet care center are up to your desired standards, the second thing to do should be asking all the right questions. First, ask whether the pets play together or there is a separation policy. Good quality pet daycares insist on separation according to size and temperament. This will increase the safety of your dog while at play.

The next question that you must ask is the ratio between the dogs and the staff. It is recommended that the ratio between the humans and the dogs should never exceed 1:15. If the dogs are large and active, responsible pet care centers bring the ratio down to one human for every ten dogs. The smaller the ratio, the easier it is to avoid injuries.

Next, you need to ask whether the doggy care center has guided activities. Most leave the dogs to their own devices when it comes to play. However, there is a huge benefit which comes with guided activities, the fact that your dog will not be in any danger of getting harmed when the caretakers are not watching. Dogs that experience guided play also end up improving their behavior.

Then, think about the toy policy at the care center. Dogs get aggressive with others, especially when trying to protect what belongs to them. If your dog has possessive issues, make sure the manager knows so they will know how to handle them.

Another crucial consideration that you need to think about is the treat policy put in place by the care center. Some pet daycare centers reward positive behavior while others do not. Make sure that you tell the management if your dog displays aggressive behavior when given treats, let the manager know so that they can be prepared or to avoid giving the pet treats altogether.

Another consideration to make is the centers emergency policy. Ask if the care center has the ability to handle injuries and trauma or contact a reliable vet for the same. When you consider all these factors, you will land a pet care center which not only protects your pet when you are away, but teaches them to be better behaved in the long-run.
