Requirements for new dogs

Read this before you text. We want the right fit, not a surprise on day one.

  • Up to date on all vaccines: DHPP (distemper), rabies and Bordetella at minimum
  • Spayed or neutered if over 7 months old
  • Friendly with dogs and people, and comfortable in a large pack. We're not trainers and can't fix a dog that doesn't like other dogs
  • First day only: arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 AM, and pick up by 1:00 PM
  • Bring vaccine records; sign our safety contract and emergency packet on the first visit

How getting started works

Step 1: Text us about your dog

Tell us your dog's name, age and breed. We'll answer price, vaccine and scheduling questions.

Step 2: Check the requirements

Make sure vaccines are current and your dog is spayed or neutered if over 7 months old.

Step 3: Come in for day one

Arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with vaccine records. Sign our safety contract and emergency packet.

Step 4: Pick up by 1:00 PM

The first day is a shorter visit. Once you're set up, getting you scheduled usually takes about 30 seconds.

Dogs are never alone.

We have anywhere from 2 to 4 people in the room with the dogs, depending on how many dogs are here that day.

What a daycare day includes

  • Supervised group play in the yard and indoor space
  • Rest breaks and quiet spots when dogs need downtime (L97-98)

What we do not do

  • Dog training or teaching unsocial dogs to like other dogs (L79-80)

Daycare FAQ

Honest answers about price, supervision, and what pack daycare is really like.

How much does daycare cost?

Full day $36, half day $25, with 10/15/20-day packages at lower per-day rates (see pricing table). Cory confirmed these match the pinned Facebook post (2026-11-02).

What do we need before our dog's first day?

DHPP/Distemper, Rabies, and Bordetella; spay/neuter if over 7 months; a social, pack-ready dog; first day arrive 6:30–7:00 AM and pickup by 1:00 PM; vaccine records and signed safety paperwork on the first visit.

How many staff supervise the dogs?

Usually 2–4 people in the room with the dogs, depending on how many dogs we have that day. Dogs are never alone.

Are the dogs supervised the whole time?

Yes. Staff are with the dogs during play and breaks. We usually have 2–4 people in the room depending on headcount that day, and dogs are never alone.

What if my dog gets sick at daycare?

Illnesses like coughs and stomach bugs can spread in a group of dogs, similar to kids at school (L93-94, L97-99). Cory educates owners on normal risks.

What happens if there is a fight or injury?

Scuffles and punctures can happen in a pack; Cory is transparent and will call owners when something matters (L93-94, L132-133). Vet bill responsibility: confirm policy wording with Cory (L93-94).

Is daycare the same as training?

No. Dogs must already be social. Cory is not a trainer and cannot fix a dog that does not like other dogs (L79-80).

Why does my dog have to come in early on the first day only?

First-day window is 6:30–7:00 AM (L87-88). Cory may explain why on the requirements page; not detailed on the call.

What honest pack daycare looks like

Daycare is a pack of dogs: illnesses and minor scuffles are normal, like kids at school
A dog in a crate during the day usually chose a quiet spot to rest, not punishment
A dog that struggles in daycare is not a bad dog; not every dog wants a full day with a large group
