Socialization
Doggie daycare offers a structured and supervised setting where dogs engage in playful activities, fostering not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation. This dynamic environment encourages dogs to explore their instincts and natural behaviors, such as chasing, fetching, and interacting with various toys. The diverse range of activities provided helps keep dogs mentally sharp and physically fit, contributing to their overall well-being.
Moreover, the presence of experienced staff in doggie daycare facilities ensures a safe and controlled environment. Trained professionals can identify and address any potential conflicts or issues that may arise during playtime, preventing the development of negative behaviors. This level of oversight is particularly beneficial for young puppies who are still learning appropriate social cues and boundaries. In addition to the socialization benefits, doggie daycare can be a valuable resource for pet owners with busy schedules.
Dogs often thrive on routine, and consistent attendance at daycare provides a structured schedule for them. This can be especially beneficial for dogs with separation anxiety or those who struggle with being alone for extended periods. Furthermore, the exposure to a variety of people and environments in doggie daycare can help dogs become more adaptable and less prone to stress in new situations. This adaptability is crucial for dogs that may encounter different environments, such as travel, vet visits, or encounters with new people.
Physical Exercise
Regular play and activities at daycare play a pivotal role in ensuring your dog receives the essential physical exercise required to maintain optimal health. Engaging in interactive play not only helps your dog stay active but also aids in weight management, lowering the risk of obesity-related health problems. The cardiovascular benefits of such activities are noteworthy, promoting a healthy heart and overall well-being.
Beyond the physical advantages, daily exercise is a key factor in fostering a happy and contented pet. Dogs that regularly participate in stimulating play sessions tend to exhibit more positive behavior and are less likely to develop behavioral problems. This is especially beneficial for high-energy breeds that thrive on physical activity, as it provides an outlet for their energy and reduces the likelihood of boredom-induced mischief.
Moreover, the mental stimulation derived from regular exercise is instrumental in preventing boredom and destructive behaviors. Dogs, like humans, benefit from mental challenges, and engaging in playful activities at daycare helps keep their minds sharp and active. This mental stimulation is particularly important for intelligent breeds that require mental engagement to stay content and well-behaved. The holistic approach of incorporating both physical and mental exercise through daycare activities contributes to a well-rounded and fulfilled canine companion. Owners can witness the positive impact of regular play on their dog's demeanor, observing a more balanced and emotionally satisfied pet at home.
How daycare works
Doggy daycare at Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare kicks off bright and early at 7 am, as many of our beloved pet parents drop off their lively furballs on their way to work. Recognizing the unique paw-sonalities, preferences, and quirks of each dog, we initiate the morning by carefully curating playgroups that suit every pooch based on their size and play style.
The real excitement unfolds thereafter. Your furry companion engages in delightful games and forms new friendships, all under the watchful eye of our dedicated Amazing crew. They possess the expertise to discern precisely when it's playtime for a spirited game of fetch and when it's time for a well-deserved rest, complete with a dedicated nap period! Striking this balance in dog daycare is crucial for ensuring that each dog has a fantastic time and leaves our facility as a content and joyous canine.
What does a day at doggie daycare looks like?
Your pup's day at Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare is thoughtfully segmented into morning and afternoon play sessions. Interspersed between these lively activities is a designated quiet time (yes, quiet!) to allow them to recharge for more excitement. As a token of appreciation for good behavior, our team rewards them with delectable treats. Our ultimate objective is to ensure that every dog is not just content but genuinely happy.
We understand that you want to be part of the joyous moments, and we've got you covered! Each day, we eagerly share some of the most delightful amazing moments with you and on our social media pages. Be sure to follow us to catch glimpses of the fun-filled experiences your furry friend is enjoying!

Half day or full day? What's the difference?
At Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare, we also offer half-days of dog day care! A half-day visit is any visit up to 5 hours from the time you drop off your furry friend. If your dog will be staying over their scheduled half-day time, you'll be charged at the full day rate.
What vaccinations are required?
In order to keep all members of the Amazing Pet Groomning Daycare family safe, puppies can attend 10 days after their second set of shots.
Bordetella:
Mandatory and no later than 48 hours before check-in to guarantee optimal effectiveness and safeguard against Kennel Cough. It's important to be aware that some veterinarians only administer this vaccine upon specific request. Our facility will need to see proof of current vaccination from pet owners (vaccination certificate). We do not accept titre tests.
DPP (Distemper, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza) 1 or 3-yr. vaccine is required.
Rabies 1 or 3-yr. vaccine is required.
Is it okay if my dog isn't spayed or neutered? Can it still participate?
To ensure the well-being of other pups, Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare does not allow dogs over the age of 6 months that are not spayed/neutered, chemically castrated, or females in heat/in season. If intact males exhibit any undesirable behaviors, we may request you to keep them at home until they have been neutered.
How old does my dog need to be to come to daycare?
All dogs young and old are welcome at Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare! Puppies are permitted to attend 10 days post receiving the second set of shots.
What if my pet is shy or anxious?
Before your pooch joins us, they'll have completed a trial day to ensure the daycare environment is the right fit for them. Our trials are usually held on quieter days so as not to overwhelm your furball.
Once your dog starts, we make sure to place your dog with a group of similar paw-sonalities. That way, they'll be able to play safely, and get the right balance of fun and chill they need and have the best day, every day. Ongoing sessions under the right supervision with other dogs are perfect for dogs with anxiety as they are slowly introduced to social situations with other dogs in a controlled and safe environment. It's a great confidence booster!

What do I need to know about drop off and pick up?
Drop off
While our activities are absolutely off the leash, we require all dogs to arrive at Amazing Pet Grooming Daycare on leash and wearing a well-fitted collar and/or walking harness. For the safety of both your own pup and other customers, your dog is to remain under your control at all times.
On arrival, please wait until a staff member is ready to take your dog and do not allow them to roam the shop, jump on staff or approach other customers.
We also know accidents happen, but please ensure you toilet your pooch before entering the shop.
Pick up
While we'd love to spend all hours of the day with your precious pups, the fun time must eventually come to an end! All dogs are required to be collected before the centre closing time. Opening hours for Amazing Pet Grooming dog daycare vary from location to location.
All our centres have a late fee of $10 per 5 minutes after our closing time. If you're running late, we will attempt to contact both you and your secondary contact. If you are unable to arrange the collection of your pet after 60 minutes, we will care for pup at the nearest boarding facility in town, or one of our team members will take your puppy with them, and you will need to arrange pickup from such location. If overnight boarding is required an extra $200 will be payable and you are required to arrange collection of your pet at your own expense.
If someone other than you will be collecting your dog from our centres, please inform our staff and make sure we have their contact details too!
What if something happens to my pooch?
As pet parents ourselves, we understand the need for your pet to be looked after at all times and how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with pet sitters. In the event of an emergency, you will be notified immediately for collection. Our employees will make every attempt to continue care where it is safe to do so and will transport your dog to our preferred local vet if required.
