Every dog is different, and that’s why we offer both Doggie Daycare and Day Stay!

🎾 DOGGIE DAYCARE

For the social butterfly! 🦋

Daycare may be a great fit for dogs who:

✓ Love playing with other dogs
✓ Have plenty of energy to burn
✓ Enjoy social interaction
✓ Thrive in a group setting
✓ Love an active day of play & enrichment

Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by size and play style and supervised by Red Dog’s Pet Care Specialists.

🛏️ DAY STAY

For pups who prefer a little more “me time.” ❤️

Day Stay may be a great fit for dogs who:

✓ Prefer their own space
✓ Are shy or uncomfortable in groups
✓ Are dog-reactive
✓ Are older or have decreased mobility
✓ Would rather relax than join group play
✓ Aren’t eligible for Daycare due to spay/neuter requirements

They’ll have their own comfortable space, outdoor potty breaks and plenty of love and attention from the Red Dog team. Upgrade to Premium Day Stay and your pup gets 2 Personal Playtimes!

Not sure which one is the best fit for your dog? Ask our Red Dog team. We’re happy to help! ❤️
