Running a rescue as our sister company, we understand that not every dog is set up for the daycare setting. If your pup does not do well in group play or gets overwhelmed, this program would be for you. We have the experience and knowledge to accommodate this program.
We believe every dog deserves to have a fun time while mom and/or dad are at work.
Each dog will be assigned their own cubby with enrichment toys. This will include brain puzzles and treat balls to keep your pup moving! Each dog will have walks on our property. They will have their own play area inside and outside separate from other dogs. Our staff members will play and care for your dog as their own.
(We do not take dogs with dog aggression. An evaluation will need to be done before booking).

Doggy daycare is a facility to drop off your pet to play with other dogs and our trained staff in a fun, safe, clean, and well-supervised environment. When you choose Very Important Paws, we ensure a safe, healthy, and happy environment for the well-being of your puppy.
Dogs are social animals and require interaction with other dogs to stay healthy and happy. Dog daycare provides socialization opportunities for your dog. We offer spacious play areas that allow playing and running with other dogs. It is an excellent way for your dog to burn energy and develop social skills.
Doggy daycare is more than a play date for a pet. Besides the peace of mind and convenience it provides to pet parents, there are amazing things for pets. Dogs attending doggy day care are not as anxious as other dogs, which means fewer destructive behaviors, such as soiling in the home or chewing on furniture.
There is less suffering from separation anxiety. Because the daycare staff members repeat commands throughout the day, dogs are more inclined to follow them. The dogs are less fearful in unfamiliar surroundings and are more social.
Dogs who go to daycare regularly are generally happier. Due to the number of activities dogs enjoy, they are more fit. The mental and physical stimulation of belonging to a pack is something dogs crave. They enjoy seeing members of the pack, playing games, getting a dopamine rush, and coming home tired and happy.
To summarize the benefits
For their protection, pets are required to have up-to-date vaccinations. At the very least, dogs should have vaccinations against kennel cough (non-core Bordetella), canine distemper, infectious hepatitis, canine parvovirus, and rabies. The canine flu vaccine is recommended but not required. Your veterinarian can supply the documentation of the pets’ most recent records.
Puppies have to be at least 12 weeks old. with a current rabies vaccination.
We have specialized puppy play groups.
Senior dogs are welcome. They are matched with a group compatible with their energy level. We do not discriminate against certain breeds. If there are limitations, disclose them to the daycare staff to ensure the dog has an enjoyable and safe time at daycare.
Our dog-to-staff ratio is kept low to ensure the safety of all dogs in our care. It helps provide individual attention to every dog. The answer to the question depends on the dogs’ level of energy. The Pet Care Services Association recommends one staff member per 15 dogs. If dogs need a little more attention, they are placed in smaller groups, giving the staff more opportunities to play with them or work on behaviors.
Dogs are as different from humans. Some dogs’ idea of play can injure or scare less active or smaller dogs. Our separation policy is based on:
Mellow dogs are separated from territorial or more aggressive dogs to avoid being annoyed by more active dogs. Dogs who want to spend time relaxing in the sun are separated from those who like to dash and play to prevent them from being run over constantly. The group chosen for the pets is the one that is a good fit for their size and temperament
Some dogs can run all day; others burn out a bit sooner. The staff watches for cues that tell when a down has had enough. We gladly separate dogs from the pack for a few minutes or hours to ensure they get the needed rest and enjoy their time with the group.
It is recommended that canines be fed a minimum of 90 minutes before joining our activities to prevent bloating. Bloating may result from engaging in play too soon after eating. It can be harmful to dogs.
Our daycare staff is always in the yard or room with the dogs. A group of dogs is never left unattended. The staff interacts with the group by moving through the pack. They watch for verbal or physical cues that tell how the dogs are doing. You can also check in on your fur kid anytime via camera when they are in our building!
Your dog may be sleepier than usual after daycare or boarding. Do not worry, the sleepiness is normal. Dogs play all day and are probably hungry and ready to rest for a while with a nap. Sometimes, dogs have a little more energy when they get home.
High energy is not due to a lack of playtime. Reasons for an increased activity level could be not being in the mood for group activities while at daycare or a buildup of endurance similar to that of an athlete in training.
