Doggie Daycare
Catch me if you can, wrestle-mania, tug-of-war, howl-fest….just a few of the games dogs play during doggie daycare at The Canine Connection. They’ll spend a few hours playing, take a nap, and then they’re back at it again full tilt.
There are a great many benefits to doggie daycare. Your dog gets the exercise, socialization, and stimulation he not only craves, but truly needs to make him happy and well-adjusted. Puppies and young dogs learn invaluable doggie social skills they will use throughout their lives.
The benefit to you is a dog who, at the end of the day, is just as tired and happy to lie on the couch as you are.
The Canine Connection's doggie daycare offers safe, secure play areas which are separated by size and play style. All playtime is supervised, of course.
Our ample, climate-controlled play space gives dogs the opportunity to play comfortably regardless of what the weather is doing outside. When the weather is nice, we also have great outdoor play areas for both big and small dogs.
Pet Boarding
Say goodbye to traditional dog boarding and hello to Doggie Day Camp. While you're away, your dog will have full access to doggie daycare, giving her the exercise, stimulation, and fun she needs and deserves.
Dogs who have not stayed with us before will need to come in for a day of daycare prior to their stay with us, so that we can evaluate them for compatibility with other dogs.
We require all dogs to be flea- and tick-free upon intake. Dogs found to be harboring such unwelcome stow-aways will be treated at the direction of The Canine Connection, at the owner's expense. Proof of vaccinations including Bordetella is required at check-in. Male dogs age 6 months or older must be neutered. Female dogs who are currently in season or have been in season within the last 3 weeks are not allowed.
Advance reservations are required . A credit card guarantee is required for major holidays including: New Year's Day, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Holiday reservations which are canceled less than seven days prior to check-in will incur a one-night cancellation fee. Holiday reservations which are made and not canceled, but fail to check in, will be charged the full stay.
