Daycare at Pawz N' Clawz
Is Your Dog Bored, Lonely or Restless During the Day While You're at Work?
Then he or she will love doggy daycare! Dogs are social animals who thrive on interaction and companionship with other animals as well as with people.
Most dogs would prefer to be around other dogs instead of being home alone all day. Our younger dogs play tirelessly for hours and hours while our older pooches have fun just hanging out and watching everyone play.
Even the shyest of dogs can learn social skills and make new friends at doggy daycare!

Enrollment Process
For Doggie Daycare We Require an Evaluation Day
Your dog's evaluation day gives us an opportunity to meet your dog, have your dog meet us, and allows him/her to check out our environment in a safe, calm, and relaxed way. They also get to meet our "pack" slowly and safely to make sure that they are comfortable and happy with the other dogs.
Evaluation day also helps us get a better feel for your dog to make sure he/she will fit in with one of our packs. We strive to learn each dog's specific needs and personality, ultimately creating a more close-knit pack.
Just because your dog has gone to another daycare does not mean they will be a good fit with our pack. Also, just because your dog has been kicked out of another daycare doesn't mean he or she will not fit into our daycare program here.
After the evaluation day, we will let you know how your dog did. We may suggest the dog come a few more times to really get a feel for how your dogs will do. It takes time for all dogs to adjust to a new environment and we want to give each dog a chance to adjust to us and our pack.
Is Your Four-Legged Friend Eligible for Daycare?
We accept puppies after they have been administered all their vaccinations. At that time, they will be ready to play in one of our packs. Older dogs that start Doggie Daycare are not required to be spayed or neutered, unless we notice behavioral issues, at which point we would require them to be fixed.
Females: Cannot come to daycare during their heat cycle. If we notice negative behavioral changes due to hormones:
- You will be informed and then asked to not come back until she is spayed
- Once she is spayed, she will be re-evaluated for Daycare
Males: Can stay in our daycare program until we see any negative behavioral changes, in which case.
- You will be informed and then asked to not come back until he is neutered
- Once he is neutered, he will be re-evaluated for daycare.
We DO NOT accept aggressive dogs. It is important that we maintain a safe environment for our staff and guests.
Play-Time Information:
The Daycare Packs will play on and off all day either inside or outside in one of our three play areas.
Our play times are always staff supervised however, dogs do play with their mouths and paws, so nicks and cuts can happen. While here, if your dog gets hurt or becomes sick and we determine a veterinarian is needed, we will call you first.
If we can't get in touch with you, we will contact your emergency contact. If they are unattainable as well, we will act in the best interest of your dog. All fees will be passed on to the owner at pick up time.
We try our very best but there are risks at any daycare. We are upfront about and require each client sign a waiver accepting our policies.
This service is offered Mon - Fri. Drop off times begin at 6:30am until 9:30am. Pick up is before 6:30pm. If you are unable to pick up by 6:30pm, you will be charged an additional $15 for overnight boarding.
