Do you worry about your pet being bored all day? Crossing their legs 3 hours before you can get home? Destructive behavior? Too much energy?
We are available for daytime care on a regular or intermittent basis. We offer a temperature controlled building connected to a series of play yards where your pet can decide to lounge on the couch or go outside to swim in the baby pool or romp w/ a friend. Our play yard substrate is artificial turf and natural grass to give a clean sanitary place to play. We provide, toys, plenty of fresh drinking water, and plenty of staff interaction and direction.
We will observe your pet with other neutral tempered dogs to determine if your pet’s behaviors are appropriate and safe for play time. We diligently create different play groups to accommodate individual personalities, energy levels, and size. Our staff play ball, play tug, walk the perimeter, sit on the couch to give rubs, and play with dogs that are in the energetic play group. We also have a geriatric/calm group for those that just want to mingle and sniff around.
We include and remove pets from playtime throughout the day based on each pets individual energy level, play tolerance, health conditions, behavior, weather, etc. We exhaustively try to ensure that each pet gets the right amount of exercise and rest. If we ever error, it is more likely in that your pet receives too much exercise because they were so stimulated by the environment that they did not give us signs of fatigue. Please keep in mind that all pets are likely to go home tired and snooze away hours. Just like us, if they are not used to exercising their muscles, joints, and energy level will feel the difference after using them so much – but trust me – they would tell you it is worth it! If only we all felt that way about exercise ;) Be sure to contact us after taking your pet home if you feel their exercise time should be adjusted during their next stay –sometimes their enthusiasm to party with their friends masks symptoms of over-exercise that you may be able to witness once they are home and calm. Thank you for your help in making your pets stay the best it can be. We always rely on owner feedback to improve our individualized plan for your pet.
Please be aware that pets must not be aggressively toy possessive or aggressively dominant to participate in social play. We have a very low tolerance of any dominant or inappropriate behavior. Although, it should be known that despite careful screening of pets in the play group, just as with kids, sometimes they play hard and get hurt. Scratches, sprains, and “arguments” can happen. Please understand that allowing your pet to play at Beechnut is a decision you make at your own risk. All owners are responsible for any medical needs of their own pet and should not expect Beechnut or another pet owner to be responsible. So just like there are risks when you go and participate in activities like waterskiing or basketball – there are also risks to let your pet play. We promise to make the best judgements we can to keep your pet safe so they can enjoy their pals at Beechnut without any incidents. Thank you for your understanding and careful thought. Please ask us any questions you may have before consenting to participate.
All pets in social settings must be responsive to staff and respectful of the rest of the “pack”. Sorry, we cannot allow pets that show aggression, dominance, or possessiveness to participate in play groups. If your pet is not social with other pets, we will ensure your pet gets plenty of solo exercise sessions in an adjacent yard where he/she can enjoy the outdoors and play with our staff. This private daycare service is available by reservation only.
