Benefits of Dog Daycare
Doggie daycare is a special place designed just for dogs to keep their minds and bodies busy in a safe place. While it’s incredibly fun and stimulating, daycare also offers special benefits that enrich your dog’s life (and yours)!
Healthy Body. Many pet parents today don’t have enough time to ensure their pet gets enough exercise every day. At our doggie daycare, you’ll know your pet’s will run and play (and have tons of fun), all while you’re at work or running errands. By the end of the day you’ll have a tuckered-out and satisfied dog ready for relaxing downtime with the family.
Healthy Mind. Just like humans, dogs can get bored when they have little to do. This can present challenging behaviors like barking or howling, chewing your belongings, or digging up the yard. Dog daycare gives pets a place to safely channel their energy in healthy, constructive ways.
Socialization. Many dogs are naturally social and instinctually want to play with other dogs. Dog daycare is the safest and most structured place for dogs to make friends with other friendly pups. Plus, dogs need to interact with other dogs to learn good doggie social skills, which can improve your pet’s confidence and sense of self.
Safer Than Other Options. Today’s pet parents have more options for pet care than ever, but dog daycare is the safest option available. Our daycare is specifically designed for dogs to play and have fun together under the supervision of highly trained professionals in a secure setting. We have invested in new ventilation systems, buildings and K9Grass®. All dogs in our daycare are fully vaccinated and screened for social compatibility. Plus, it’s outside of your house—so no need to worry about strangers in your home.
Free Puppy Socialization
Have you recently welcomed a puppy into your family? Join us for our complementary puppy socialization program where puppies play, interact with other puppies and our staff, and learn to navigate the world. Socialization is critical for good manners, social skills, and a foundation for success throughout life!
We love to celebrate in Wiggles daycare – Birthdays, holidays and just super-fun days!
Between bacon- flavored bubble parties, bobbing for apples on Halloween, ball pits and splash pools for dog days of summer, it’s always a great time here! Call us today to reserve your pup’s spot!

Dog Daycare FAQ
Why should I choose Wiggles for dog daycare?
The daycare program at Wiggles provides a fun, safe place for dogs to socialize, play and be enriched while their parents are away. Our daycare guests exercise their minds and bodies every day while under the care and supervision of our devoted staff. Daycare at Wiggles is not only a ton of fun, it also provides a healthy and constructive alternative to staying home alone.
What vaccinations are required for dog daycare?
To protect all the pets in our care, we REQUIRE proof of current vaccination for the following:
- Rabies
- Distemper combo with Leptospirosis
- Bordetella
We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
- Canine influenza vaccinations
We will be requiring the Canine Influenza Vaccine as of April 15, 2024.
My dog isn’t spayed/neutered, can they still come to Wiggles for daycare?
Most people think of daycare as a bunch of well-socialized dogs playing together. We strive to offer the best version of that. We’re also pleased to offer a fun-filled custom daycare program for dogs who are better suited to play with human friends than furry ones.
Dogs over the age of 8 months who aren’t spayed or neutered are welcome to join us for custom daycare!
For the safety of all our guests and staff, we’re not able to accept unspayed females who are in heat, approaching heat or have just come out of heat.
Do you require a daycare evaluation?
Our goal is for each new guest to join us and enjoy the safest and most fun daycare program possible. The first step is a “welcome day,” when a dog comes and plays with us to see which play option they like most.
What is the welcome day like?
Your dog will get a chance to meet our team and the other pups playing with us. We’ll observe their play habits and body language to determine the type of play environment they enjoy most. More socially inclined pups will gradually meet the “pack.” Dogs who prefer to play with a team member will have a blast with individual play.
What will my dog be doing at daycare?
We have multiple play options to meet the needs of most every pup personality! Our standard dog daycare is a group play program perfect for social dogs. We also have our custom and individual play options for dogs who prefer human company. No matter which program they prefer, they’ll enjoy lots of exercise in our play yards, interaction with staff, and comfy rest times in a climate-controlled suite.
What should I expect on my dog’s first day?
We believe your dog’s first experience with Wiggles will be wonderful. We want your pup to see Wiggles as a fun, fabulous extension of your love. Therefore, a fun and brief introduction is ideal. Please schedule your first day with our welcome team. Normal drop off times for this service are around 10am.
This gives your dog plenty of time to explore their surroundings and get comfortable with us. We’ll slowly introduce them to their new playmates. Then the playtime begins. At the end of your pup’s time (generally around 2pm), we’ll give you a report on how much they enjoyed their time with us and our recommendations.
Do you require reservations?
Safety is our number one priority. An essential key to this is ensuring the best level of staffing every day. For this reason, yes, we do require reservations
My dog doesn’t like to play with a lot of other dogs. Can they still join daycare?
Absolutely. We appreciate that each dog is unique, so we have multiple daycare programs to suit dogs of different social levels. Our individual play program features one-on-one playtime with a specially trained staff member to ensure your pet gets all the exercise, attention, and playtime they desire.
Can I add bathing to my pet’s daycare reservation?
Absolutely– we recommend it! We’ll be happy to set up a spa appointment for your pet to ensure they go home looking and feeling amazing.
Do you have daycare packages?
Yes! Dog daycare packages offer maximum savings. Call today to speak with a team member about your options.
Can my puppy join daycare?
Puppies are more than welcome to wiggle with the rest of us at daycare. Puppy groups focus on developing early social behaviors and good play manners.
How many days should my dog attend daycare?
We suggest bringing your dog to play at least one day every week. Why? Just like humans, dogs are more comfortable with new friends when they’ve had the chance to spend more time together! This way, your dog will get to form a relationship with the staff and other dogs who come on their day and have an even better time. We want our daycare guests to be as comfortable and excited to play as possible, so we encourage pet parents to make standing reservations for their preferred days of the week.
