Instead of sitting at home alone bored & waiting for you, they are playing, getting exercise, being socialized, and having a great time! After a fun day of playing with fur~iends, you get to pick up a calm and relaxed pet.
Social skills will increase and your Fur~Baby will learn how to play & interact with other dogs in a safe, fun, and meaningful way. Boredom behaviors caused by lack of activity, inadequate mental & physical stimulation are virtually eliminated. Your Fur~Baby can play in a group, with a favorite toy, play ball, hang out with our humans or just lounge around.
At the end of the day you will have a Fur~Baby that is happy, relaxed & tired from playing all day. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog!
Baby PlaycareWe will place your fur~baby in our park based on their size & style.
We offer indoor and outdoor play yards! Dogs are placed in groups that they will enjoy & make the most fur~iends. Our dedicated team of pet professionals will supervise and interact with your fur~baby during their day with us!
You want a tired dog after a day of play with their buddies. We understand your goal and good dog play sessions will help you tire out your best friend while also monitoring the overall safety and health of your dog. It’s important that exhaustion is not the only measure of success when you bring your dog for a play session. Our approach to your dog’s day in off-leash play is to balance physical exercise, mental activities, and rest periods. All three are equally important components to keeping your dog safe and healthy when socializing with other dogs.
Your fur~baby will enjoy only the best, healthiest treats while they enjoy their day of fun. We offer a daily munchie menu created in house by our daycare chef. Our menus also includes some of our top favorites as found in our boutique. All of our treats are human grade and only made with the highest quality ingredients… no junk food here. If your fur~baby has a special treat or diet, please discuss with us and we’d be happy to accommodate them.
Fur Baby exclusively uses only filtered water.
While water plays many key roles in dog’s bodies, waters’ chief functions are to maintain a stable environment inside and around their cells, allowing them to acquire sufficient nutrition and aiding elimination of waste in cells. To provide an optimal environment for life, the water we allow our pets to consume through food and drink must be clean and should supply the body with needed electrolytes. Tap water can be some of the most toxic water available to your dog.
Research has shown that tap water contains chlorine, often fluoride, & toxic substance that overtime, can have very evil effects on yours & your dogs’ body. One other consideration in quality is temperature of the water. Much like us, your dog will prefer water that fits the seasons. If it’s hot, we serve water that is cooler. If it is winter, we serve room temperature water. So we have superior, clean, quality, filtered water for your Fur~Baby.
Because we ONLY provide the very best for your fur~baby we provide purified air in our resort. These air purifiers quickly and effectively reduce carbon-based contaminants, providing fresh, clean smelling air in only minutes. What are carbon-based contaminants? Some of the more familiar carbon-based contaminants include mold, bacteria, viruses, odors & volatile organic compounds.
We care about the safety of our fur~iends and therefore we clean our park several times everyday with Pet Safe products. We use powerful, concentrated, multi-purpose disinfectants & deodorizers that provide area control of staph, salmonella, E. coli, bordatella bronchiseptica, adenovirus, canine distemper, feline picornavirus, HIV-1, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, rabies, herpes, pseudorabies, respiratory syncytia, streptococcus—even canine parvovirus.
Rest assured that while your fur~baby is here enjoying their day of play, they are safe & secure. Only our team members have access to our playcare rooms, hotel, and spa. All exits remain locked at all times, everyone will enter/exit through our store area
All dogs will be escorted through a multi-gated entry and exit to the playcare and hotel. You will have a very the option to require a photo ID for non-parent pick-ups, and while in our care we also have “eye in the sky” cameras that help us monitor all areas at all times. So, when you leave your fur~baby here, relax and know that your pet is safe, secure and having fun.
Prior to conducting the daycare evaluation we ask that you complete your pet profile questionnaire, which includes the pet’s history, known issues, previous socialization & interactions with other animals. We want to know as much as possible about your fur~baby to make their transition into our care smooth & enjoyable. Please create your pets profile and your account prior to your 1st day of services. You can activate your account or update it at anytime by clicking the BOOK NOW button.
We can not accept aggressive dogs, or dogs with an inability to interact socially with other canines. In order to insure the happiness and well being of our guests, all dogs are required undergo a temperament test prior to being allowed to participate in daycare or boarding activities. This gives us the opportunity to ascertain the temperament and social skills of the dog & to ensure that your Fur Baby will enjoy participating in the services offered.
The Daycare Evaluation cost $45 and may take between 2 and 4 hours to complete and we provide the rest of that days daycare for FREE once they are accepted into the park.
The daycare evaluation begins with each staff member becoming personally acquainted with your dog, in a controlled environment away from the main pack. After which we will slowly introduce one of our control dogs known for their friendly nature and well-rounded socialization skills. We will carefully monitor your dog for body language, posturing & reactions during these critical first social interactions. At which point we will introduce your fur~baby to the play group and observe. Once a dog has successfully completed the evaluation, we contact the parent and inform them of the good news.
In the event that we feel a dog may need more training to interact safely with the pack, we contact the parent and allow them to stay in one of our pet suites until mom or dad can pick them up. There is a non-refundable $45.00 fee for the initial evaluation, and temperament evaluation.
This interview process is a very straight forward process designed to address the individual needs of your dog and determine their current level of socialization while ensuring that everyone in our care has a happy, safe & fun time..

In the event that dog cannot receive a required vaccination, we will accept a letter from that vet clearing the dog from receiving that vaccine and clearing that dog for services.
Titers for Distemper are accepted.
Please upload directly to your Fur Baby account or bring a copy of your pet’s vaccination records to give to us.

You want a tired dog after a day of play with their buddies. We understand your goal and good dog play sessions will help you tire out your best friend while also monitoring the overall safety and health of your dog. It’s important that exhaustion is not the only measure of success when you bring your dog for a play session. Our approach to your dog’s day in off-leash play is to balance physical exercise, mental activities, and rest periods. All three are equally important components to keeping your dog safe and healthy when socializing with other dogs.
Physical exercise is the most obvious benefit of off-leash play and it’s what most pet parents think about when they drop their dog off to play. But for your dog’s health, we also consider it important to provide mental stimulation, which allows your dog to think and use his brain during the day. Mental work is tiring for your dog while building their confidence and self-control. And naturally, after all this physical and mental work, dogs need rest. This is why we include formal rest periods as an important component of our health and safety program for your pet. Dogs that get overly tired are less tolerant and more grumpy (just like kids) which increases risk of injury.
Research studies report that dogs need 12-18 hours of sleep per day. Dogs that require amounts on the higher end of the scale include:
Sleep habits of dogs also differ from humans. Napping on and off during the day is a normal pattern for all dogs studied. Formal rest periods are offered during play visits to mirror this normal pattern and to allow dogs to reach deeper sleep levels. Providing a private, quiet area for rest periods allow dogs to reach the restful deep sleep levels they need to stay healthy and happy.
The varying dog sleep positions provide clues to the sleep level they have achieved.
