Benefits of Taking Your Dog to Daycare

If you, like many other dog parents, hate leaving your pooch alone at home, drop them off at a dog boarding in Petaluma. Professional staff at reputable dog daycare facilities are well equipped to ensure your pet has a fun and safe time at their home away from home.

Whether it is for the day, or for an extended stay, it is beneficial in many ways to enroll your dog in a certified boarding facility. A well-maintained kennel makes sure your pet is well cared for, and that the facilities are clean, ventilated, and comfy for your pet.

Bridewell Hilltop Boarding Kennels and Cattery is the leading dog and cat boarding facility in the Petaluma area. If you are looking for a place for your pet to spend the day, night, or week, give us a call. Our team of professional handlers has years of experience caring for pets. Our team is often asked if there are additional benefits of boarding your pets, and the answer is yes! Here is a list of some of the additional benefits of daycare for your pet.

Reduces Anxiety

Dogs love to be around their favorite people and can get anxious when left alone. Some dogs may chew on items to relieve stress and anxiety, while others may display aggressive behavior.

When left home alone, dogs tend to get bored and relieve their pent-up energy by destroying items. A tired dog is a happy dog. When you pick up your furry friend from the daycare center, you can be sure they are in for a sound night of sleep after all the playing they had during the day.

In addition, dropping your pooch off at a dog daycare center is a great way to ensure they are taken care of when you’re not around. Dog daycare centers provide lots of physical and mental stimulation for their guests and the perfect environment for them to socialize.

Provides Routine

Dogs are creatures of habit and need a daily routine. The uncertainty that arises when you leave your pooch alone at home can stress it out. When you use a daycare center, you can rest assured that the daycare staff will make sure that your pooch plays, eats, and naps at the same time every day. A consistent schedule helps reduce stress and anxiety by providing stability and predictability.

Provides Socialization Opportunities

Dogs are pack animals. Like wolves and other pack animals, they are designed to interact with each other. A dog daycare facility provides ample socialization opportunities for its guests.

Through socialization, dogs are exposed to different sights, sounds, and smells. They learn to distinguish between good and unacceptable behavior. When your dog is well socialized, you can enjoy long walks with it without worrying about it reacting adversely to new people and animals.
