Unconditional love is absolutely one of the biggest – if not the biggest – perk of being a pet parent. Having your best pal greet you when you come home from school or work, tail vigorously wagging – well, there’s nothing quite like it in the world.

However, if your four-legged best friend is a little too excited to see you at the end of the day, it might be time to consider regular dog daycare visits.

Not only will your dog benefit from daily socialization, physical activity, and mental stimulation during regular dog daycare visits with highly trained staff, they will also have a positive and productive outlet for all of that natural canine energy. Otherwise, they’re just sitting home staring at a door – waiting for it to open. (OR – for some pups, at least – poking around in the trash can and other forbidden zones.)

Here are just four signs your pup might benefit from regular doggie daycare visits.

1. They tend towards mischief: Chewing on furniture or shoes when left alone is a telltale sign of boredom. Your dog is saying, “I need more attention – and stimulation – in my life!” A professional dog daycare can be the perfect place for them to interact with other pups – and people – while enjoying some good, old-fashioned exercise and mental enrichment throughout the day.
2. They’re incredibly vocal: Constant episodes of barking – even when you’re home – might signify that a change is in order. Scheduling regular dog daycare visits ensures they have plenty of friends – and (awesome) distractions – to keep them occupied during the day instead of barking up a storm. This is better for you, your dog, and your neighbors.
3. They’ve got boundless energy: A chipper, raring-to-go attitude is great to experience in your pet. But if your pup is full of energy, yet not getting enough exercise – dog daycare can be a phenomenal solution. What better way to tucker out your pooch than plenty of outdoor playtime with the other dogs? This not only keeps them healthy and happy, but it also provides you with some peace of mind knowing they’re getting the physical activity they crave and need.
4. They seem kind of down: Is your pup sluggish or uninterested in playing lately? Maybe there’s been a change in their environment. Or they could be experiencing separation anxiety after you leave each morning for work. Dogs can get down in the dumps just like their people do from time to time. Taking them to a doggie daycare can help alleviate these emotions by providing some much-needed social interaction along with stimulating activities from 9 to 5 (or thereabouts).

Regular dog daycare visits offer several benefits for both pet parents and their pups, from boosting your pet’s confidence to reducing mischievous or bored behavior. Paws and Play Pet Resort aims to please with fun, mentally stimulating toys and puzzles, as well as plenty of opportunities to play, run, and explore.
