Dog Daycare

Our dog daycare is separated by age, play style, energy level and size, so your pup will enjoy a playgroup that feels custom made! Our dogs are provided with structured activities, such as games, puzzle time, and one-on-one time if requested. Pups also have the option to lay down and relax for a lunch break at parents’ request. We offer a full Dog Stop Delights menu for treats, toys, and activities to enjoy during their downtime. It’s our goal to ensure that all of our guests are stimulated both mentally and physically while in our care.

Introducing The Dog Stop’s VIP program!

1

Is your dog a VIP?

A very independent player, or VIP, cannot participate in group interaction for any number of reasons.  Maybe you know your pup won’t excel in a group setting, and want to keep him or her separate. Maybe the staff recognizes your pup prefers solo activities to group play. Either way, VIPs are pups that cannot participate in group interaction. Perhaps they have been involved in altercations or display antagonistic behavior, or maybe your pup is physically compromised or are too stressed in a group setting and enjoy one-on-one attention far more.

2

How Does the VIP Program Work?

VIP activities are geared towards addressing both physical and mental stimulation.  Each dog gets a Lickimat, Kong or Puzzle during the day for additional mental stimulation and rotated into our VIP area throughout the day to stretch their legs and have potty breaks.

Ask a staff member to see a full menu of activities during your next visit or visit here for a sample menu.

What Does the Program Cost and What is Included?

Boarding for VIP dogs will now be $65 and $59 per additional dog per night for a standard kennel or Camper Cabin.

In addition to their normal personalized breaks, your pup will receive two specialized enrichment activities per day (excluding the day of pick up); one geared for physical stimulation and one geared towards mental enrichment. You can either choose these yourself or have staff make recommendations! Here’s a sample menu. Additional activities can always be added a la carte to your pups program for an additional charge.

VIP Daycare Rates

First Dog Per Add’l Dog
Full Day $50 +$43
Half Day $40 +$34

VIP Boarding Rates

First Dog Per Add’l Dog
VIP Standard $65 +$59
VIP Camper Cabin $65 +$59

More about our VIP program…

What does my VIP pup do all day?   

A better question is “what don’t they do?” VIP activities are geared towards addressing both physical and mental stimulation. Ask your TDS location for a full menu of enrichment activities.  

In addition to their normal personalized breaks, your pup will receive two specialized enrichment activities per day (excluding the day of pick up); one geared for physical stimulation and one geared towards mental enrichment. You can either choose these yourself or have staff make recommendations! Additional activities can always be added a la carte to your pups program for an additional charge.

What’s the best time to drop off my VIP pup?

We highly encourage you to drop off your VIP off during our 10am – 4pm Red Carpet Hours to avoid high traffic in store and to ensure that your pup gets ample time to participate in that days activities. Please make sure to schedule their pickup and dropoff times with staff directly.

What’s the difference between VIP and enrichment?  

Sometimes daycare dogs benefit from a day of one-on-one activity. On those days, they may switch to the enrichment program for the day, and back to daycare on their next visit. While VIP pups participate in the same enrichment activities, they do not have the option to participate in group play.  

How can I sign my dog up for the VIP program? 

Schedule a VIP assessment! We want to make sure you pup is set up for success with our VIP program, so we ask that you schedule a day ahead of time to drop of your dog for us to assess. If the assessment goes well, you can then make VIP daycare and boarding reservations. There are a limited number of VIP spots each day, so RESERVATIONS ARE ALWAYS REQUIRED! Remember, staff retains the right to deny a dog access to the program if there is a concern for staff or the dog’s safety and wellbeing.  

 In addition to the assessment, we’ll also need to see the same vaccinations required of our other daycare and boarding pups: rabies, distemper, and Bordetella.
