FAQ About Dog Day Care in Grand Rapids

Is Dog Day Care Suitable for All Dogs?

While dog day care can benefit many dogs by providing socialization and exercise, it is important to consider each pet’s individual temperament and health. Some dogs thrive in the day care environment, enjoying the opportunity to play and interact with other dogs, while others may prefer more solitude or require special accommodations due to health concerns. At Camp Bow Wow, we conduct a Camper Interview for each new dog to ensure they are well-suited for the day care setting. This initial screening helps us ensure that all Campers get along and feel comfortable in the group setting.

What Should I Bring for My Dog’s First Day?

When bringing your dog to Camp Bow Wow for the first day, it’s helpful to pack a few familiar items to make their transition smoother. Items such as a beloved toy or a blanket can help your dog feel more at home. It’s also crucial to provide any medications or special dietary food they may need during their stay. Our staff will work closely with you to understand your dog’s unique requirements and ensure they receive the best care possible while attending dog day care near you in Grand Rapids.

How Does Camp Bow Wow Support My Dog’s Socialization?
