Question 1

What is a typical day like for my dog at your facility?

Accepted Answer

Mental and physical enrichment is our top priority along with structured downtime for proper rest. Our daycare dogs have plenty of wide open space to have fun running around the paddock, go on daily Sniffari's, play with their friends in the beach area, splash in the pool and even have kangaroos and sheep sometimes walking by. We have structured downtime and naps throughout the day to ensure everyone is getting adequate rest and not becoming over-stimulated.

Question 2

How is rest and nap time managed at daycare?

Accepted Answer

Rest is as important as playtime at our daycare as its essential for healthy bodies and minds. We schedule dedicated downtime and have group nap and rest times throughout the day to ensure every dog gets a chance to recharge those batteries and not become over-stimulated.

Question 3

Is your outdoor space securely fenced?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our entire outdoor paddock and play area are secured with 1.8m high chain link fencing. Maximum safety and owners peace of mind are top priority.

Question 4

What is the free Meet & Greet?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Why should I choose an outdoor dog daycare?

Accepted Answer

Being outdoors is a stimulating and engaging environment that dogs love! It allows dogs to engage in natural behaviours like sniffing, exploring & running. The openness can help dogs to feel calm and relaxed as there's space to move and be comfortable.

Our Sniffari is an excellent activity as scent enrichment is mentally very beneficial to your dog. There are many health benefits to your beloved pet by spending the day outside including meeting their daily physical needs and mental enrichment.

Question 6

Does my dog need to be fully vaccinated?

Does my dog need to be desexed to go to daycare?

Accepted Answer

We require our daycare dogs to be desexed, or that they are planned to be desexed once age appropriate.

Question 8

Do you accept dogs from the same household?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we love accommodating dog siblings! You will receive a discounted rate on your second dog. Our daycare is $70 per dog and additional dogs from the same household are $45.

Question 9

How often should I book my dog into daycare?

Accepted Answer

This depends on owners and dogs' needs. Currently we have dogs that come anywhere from once to four times per week.

We do however prefer to have dogs coming to daycare on recurring days each week for consistent socialisation with the same group of dogs. We find the dogs settle in quicker with more consistency.
