Boarding/Doggie Day Play

Home » All Services » Boarding/Doggie Day Play

Our dogs are extraordinary members of our family, and it is essential to keep their minds exploring!!! When your travel plans don't include your furry friends, send them on a vacation of their own! TOAH's veterinary supervised boarding and doggie day play is fun and engaging! Don't need to board, but want the playtime?! We developed group day play sessions to offer this experience to all dogs and not just our overnight boarders. Therefore, there is an option to choose only day play on specific days. Bring them once daily, weekly, monthly, or as often as you please. The idea behind TOAH's veterinary supervised boarding and doggie day play is for dogs to have an engaging and interactive experience in a group or private sessions. Day Play actively captivates your pup's attention and promotes positive social skills, good manners, and provides plenty of exercises!!! This helps with behavior issues, separation anxiety, sleep patterns and supports overall healthy wellbeing! Group Day play is not all day long but rather separated into interactive, veterinary monitored sessions. There are times that they will be in their runs for water breaks and rest time; however, they are still receiving lots of love and interaction, and of course, they get to bark at each other. See below for details.

Veterinary Supervised Boarding Accommodations and Interactive Doggie Day-Play

By

Thank you for your interest in TOAH Boarding and Doggie Day-Play!

 

Care You Can Count On—for Our TOAH Family
Our boarding and day-play services are available to established TOAH patients. This helps us make sure your pet is in the best hands, with a team who already knows them and their healthcare needs.

 

New around here?
If you’re interested in joining the TOAH family, we’d love to meet you! Reach out to learn more about becoming a client.

 

Our Facility: We have a large, indoor, climate-controlled facility. We also have a spacious, fully fenced outdoor play area for walks, exercise, and day-play fun!

Walks and Outside Time: All boarders are walked outside up to four times daily in a fenced area, weather permitting.

Group Day-Play: All participants of Group Day-Play will enjoy interactive group playtime in either our indoor or outdoor play area multiple times daily.

Private Day Play: Arrangements may be made in special circumstances. Please contact to speak with one of Pack Leaders for more information.

Veterinary Supervision: All pets are under the supervision of our Veterinarians and Technicians.  Our Pack Leaders monitor all boarders and day-play participants’ appetites, urinary habits, bowel movements, etc., very carefully.  If there are any issues or concerns, our Pack Leaders will bring this to the attention of the veterinary staff.  You will be apprised of any concerns that arise during your pet’s stay with us. Keep in mind your pet’s health and comfort are our first priority, and if an issue arises, it will be addressed.

Food and Treats: We offer the option for you to bring your pet’s food and treats from home, or you may choose our house food. We feed Purina Pro Plan. Feeding times are according to your instructions. Food is included with boarding rates.

Personal Belongings: We do not permit any personal belongings other than food, treats, and/or medication from your home. Please don’t forget to bring leashes and collars with you when you are dropping off your pets.

  • We provide bedding, which is changed daily.
  • We provide bowls for food and water.
  • We have plenty of clean pet cots and comfy blankets which are included in the cost of boarding.
    • There are three main reasons we do not allow belongings from home:
      1. We will not risk any of your pet’s personal belongings being destroyed or lost.
      2. Our facility is flea and tick free and we cannot risk any of those little pests coming in.
      3. Sometimes a boarding/group day-play situation can be stressful for your pet. There are times that they may try to chew or eat their bedding or toys from home. We monitor this closely, but again, we do not want any of your pet’s belongings to be destroyed or put your pet’s health at risk.

Medications: If any medications are needed, they will be administered exactly per the written instructions. No medications will be given without actual prescription label instructions on the original bottle. Keep in mind that there is a medication administration fee that is applied daily for any medications, supplements, or vitamins.

Meet & Greet Protocol: New to TOAH boarding or day-play? No problem! We want to get to know you and your pet before any stay with us. So, let’s set up an appointment for a Meet and Greet! This is a time to meet each other and address any of your questions or concerns. We will also administer a temperament assessment for all group play participants to ensure your pet will be a good candidate. Safety is always our priority!

Dropping off your pet: When you arrive, please use your phone to scan the QR code on the parking sign in front of you to let the team know that you’re here. We ask that you allot about 10-15 minutes for the check-in process. Keep in mind we are obligated to go over all information in detail at every boarding/day play check-in, regardless of how often your pet boards/day plays. If your pet will be seeing one of our veterinarians or technicians during their stay you will need to meet with the technician at drop-off. Please allow an additional 10-15 mins for this.

Picking up your pet: When you arrive to pick up your pet, park and once again scan the QR code on the parking sign to let our Pack Leaders know that you’ve arrived.  We will review all charges and communicate any important information to you before collecting payment. The Pack Leader will then reunite your pet with you!. You will also receive a little “report card” from their stay via the TOAH APP!  If your pet was examined by a veterinarian or technician or had any medical issue during their stay, you will need to meet with the technician at pick-up. Please allow extra time for this.

Bathing: Baths are performed by our pack leaders!!!. It consists of shampooing and thoroughly rinsing your pet and performing a nail trim and ear cleaning. We offer different shampoos to choose from:  Aloe & Oatmeal, Flea & Tick, Medicated, or you may bring your own pet shampoo for us to use. If you pay for seven nights of boarding, the bath will be included in the boarding costs. This service is available to dogs only.

  • If you want a bath to be completed on the day you pick up your pet, you will need to pick up your pet during the afternoon hours on Monday-Friday to ensure that they are fresh and dry prior to going home.
  • If you pick up your pet during morning hours Monday-Saturday, they will be bathed the evening prior.

Missing your pet while you are away? We’ll send pictures! This is a complimentary service and by request only.
