Home/FAQ

PricingHow much does dog daycare cost in Dallas?

Doggy daycare in Dallas usually runs $25 to $45 per day, and a multi-day package brings the per-day cost lower for weekday regulars. Overnight boarding usually runs $45 to $80 per night with daytime play included, and cage-free suites usually run $55 to $90 per night. We post real ranges so you can compare before you ever drop your dog off.

ProcessHow does cage-free dog daycare work?

Dogs play in supervised group yards instead of being crated for the day. We group them by size and temperament so the play stays safe, build rest periods into the schedule, and keep trained staff watching the whole time. Our play yards are climate-controlled, which matters in a Dallas summer, and most dogs go home tired and happy at pickup.

TrustIs your facility insured, and is the staff trained?

Yes. We run a bonded and insured Dallas facility, our staff are trained in pet first aid and CPR, and the play yards and boarding suites are climate-controlled and supervised throughout the day. We will share proof of insurance on request and walk you through the facility before your dog’s first day, which is worth asking any daycare for.

RequirementsWhat vaccines does my dog need to join daycare?

Dogs joining group play need to be current on their core vaccinations, which usually means rabies, distemper or DHPP, and Bordetella for kennel cough, and many owners add the canine influenza vaccine. We confirm records at intake. Puppies can join our gentler puppy track once they have their core series, and we will tell you exactly what we need before the first visit.

RequirementsDo you require a temperament test or trial day?

Yes. Before a dog joins regular group play we do an evaluation to make sure group daycare is a good fit and to place them in the right play group by size and energy. It protects every dog in the yard. If a dog does better one-on-one or in a smaller group, we will tell you honestly rather than push them into a setting that stresses them.

ProcessCan you handle feeding and medication during boarding?

Yes. We feed to your dog’s normal routine, including food you send along, and our trained staff administer oral and topical medications on schedule at no surprise upcharge. Tell us about diet, medication, and any anxiety or routine your dog relies on when you book, and we will follow it. We keep notes on each dog so the care is consistent across staff.

SchedulingHow far in advance should I book overnight boarding?

For ordinary weeks, a few days is usually fine. For major travel holidays, spring break, and long weekends, book well ahead because the suites fill - and cage-free spots, which are limited by group size, go first. We will tell you honestly when a date is filling so you are not left scrambling the week before a trip.

ProcessMy dog has a lot of energy. Will daycare actually tire them out?

For a social, healthy dog, yes - a full day of supervised group play does far more than a backyard or a walk, which is exactly why apartment and condo dogs in Uptown, Deep Ellum, and Las Colinas do so well with us. We build in rest periods so it is play and recovery, not eight hours of chaos, and most dogs go home calm and ready to sleep.

ProcessDo you offer daycare packages, and can I cancel?

Yes. Multi-day daycare packages bring the per-day cost below the single-day rate, which is the better deal for dogs that come in several days a week. Packages do not lock you into a long contract, and you can stop or pause one when it suits you. We will walk you through the per-day savings before you buy.

Service AreaWhere exactly is your facility, and which areas do you serve?

Our facility is in Dallas, and we welcome dogs from across the metro - Dallas, Plano, Irving, Garland, Richardson, and Frisco. We are a brick-and-mortar location with climate-controlled play yards, not a mobile service, so dogs come to us. Most owners drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening; boarding pickups are by appointment.
