Doggie Daycare at Creature Comforts
Does your pup have energy to burn, or could they use some extra socialization? At Creature Comforts at Runaway Farm, our Doggie Daycare program offers a safe, structured, and incredibly fun environment where your dog can play the day away under expert supervision.
🌟 Why Choose Doggie Daycare?
Dogs are naturally social animals, and a structured daycare environment provides incredible benefits for their physical health and emotional well-being:
- All-Day Socialization: Your pup gets to run, tumble, and play with their furry friends all day long. Because a trained, human supervisor is always monitoring the pack, play stays completely safe and fun.
- The Ultimate Workout: Running and playing with pals is a high-energy workout that keeps your dog physically fit and healthy.
- Say Goodbye to Boredom & Bad Habits: Destructive behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, and digging are usually born out of pure boredom. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog! After a full day of play, your pup will be ready to relax quietly with you at home.
- Support for Anxiety & Confidence: Daycare provides an excellent outlet for dogs suffering from separation anxiety, and it helps naturally shy or nervous dogs build lasting social confidence.
🚀 How to Get Started: The Step-by-Step Process
Before the fun can officially begin, we ensure every dog is healthy, happy, and a good fit for group play. Here is how to enroll your pup:
Step 1: Health & Vaccination Check
To protect the pack, we require proof of the following current health metrics prior to scheduling your dog's temperament evaluation:
- Required Vaccines: Rabies, Distemper (must include Leptospirosis), Bordetella, and Canine Influenza.
- Note: Initial (first-time) vaccines must be administered at least two weeks prior to the evaluation. All routine booster vaccines must be fully current.
- Annual Parasite Screen: Proof of a negative fecal (intestinal parasite) exam completed within the past 12 months.
- Spay/Neuter Policy: All dogs over 7 months of age must be spayed or neutered to participate in group play.
Step 2: Complete the Application
Fill out our enrollment application form so we can learn all about your dog's history, personality, and medical background.
Step 3: Schedule the Play Evaluation
Once we have your vaccine records and application, we will schedule a personalized temperament assessment. We observe your dog’s play style and ensure they are controllable in a group setting.
- Please Note: If a dog is clearly friendly and social but lacks basic boundary control, they will need to complete basic obedience classes before joining the daycare roster.
🎉 Ready for Fun: What a Day Looks Like
Once your dog passes their evaluation, they gain access to a premier daycare experience tailored to their personality:
- Indoor & Outdoor Play Zones: Rain or shine, the fun never stops! We feature spacious indoor and outdoor play areas so your dog is comfortable no matter what the weather is doing.
- Matched Playgroups: We carefully group dogs by their specific play style. This ensures high-energy wrestlers can roughhouse safely together, while gentle or older pups can take it easy in a low-key group.
- Expert Supervision: Your dog is supervised all day by dedicated dog lovers trained to read and understand canine body language and pack behavior.
-
Enrichment Activities: Enrichment is a series of activities designed to stimulate your dog’s mind, body, and senses. It’s much more than just fun and games- it’s about engaging their natural instincts, encouraging problem-solving, and helps prevent boredom. Whether it’s through interactive toys, scent work, puzzle games, or social interactions, enrichment provides a meaningful outlet for your dog’s energy and curiosity.
- Sneak Peeks & Photo Updates: Because your dog will likely be tuckered out by pick-up time, you won't always see them in action. That’s why we capture photos of the fun throughout the day! Photo updates are uploaded to our Facebook page so you can see your happy pup's adventures.
