Puppy Day Care

Thoroughly socializing your puppy is vital to raising a well-adjusted adult dog. What skills he or she learns to live with at this stage of life will follow through to adulthood.

Play/Rest Sessions

Your pet will have a minimum of three play sessions per day (one and a half hours each). Depending on your pet's size, he or she will be socialized with other pets in our reception area's enclosed holding area or in the fenced yard at the rear of the building.

While these areas are being cleaned and overnight observation guests are being exercised, your pet will be placed in a kennel run or "suite" for relaxation and quiet time. We will also take this opportunity to feed your puppy, as instructed.

Requirements for VRPC Puppy Day Care

Vaccinations

For your pet's protection and that of other students, puppies must have received at least two sets of booster vaccinations (DH2PPV-CV) and fecal tests from a licensed veterinarian. Your pet must also be vaccinated against Bordatella, commonly referred to as Kennel Cough.

VRPC Puppy Daycare Release

We will do our very best to ensure that your student puppy's visit is a safe and happy one. However, you must be aware that there is always the possibility that an injury could occur from rough play. A release form must be signed and kept in your client file prior to participation in VRPC Puppy Daycare.

Spay/Neuter

At six months of age, your puppy must be spayed or neutered to remain in VRPC Puppy Daycare.
