Activity Packages

SCHEDULE A MEET AND GREET
Because safety is our #1 priority, all dogs are required to undergo a Meet & Greet before attending daycare, boarding, or day camp. A Meet & Greet is a chance for us to get to know you and your dog and to simulate what it will be like for them while they are in our care for daycare, boarding, or day camp. To keep interactions safe, dogs that attend group play must have adequate social skills, respect each other’s boundaries, and know how to read social cues. If we notice your dog is persistent and not responding to cues from other dogs or verbal cues from the staff, they may be required to practice socializing on a smaller scale prior to attending daycare. Meet & Greets are 60 minutes in duration, and cost $35.00. Upon passing, your dog will receive a free day of dog daycare.
Give us a call at (586) 991-5370 to schedule a Meet & Greet!
We look forward to meeting you and your dog!
