The Benefits of Doggy Daycare for your dog!
Thinking of putting your dog into a daycare? Maybe you think it isn’t necessary as you either work from home, or you have a nanny there during the day. Some dog parents feel that their dog gets enough stimulation from other dogs and pets in your home. Is your company and a 45 minute daily walk in the park enough? Let’s investigate! Here are 5 proven benefits of putting your pup into a doggy daycare in Cape Town.
Let's get social!
All dogs have different temperaments and personalities. It’s super important for your beloved doggo to learn how to interact with other dogs in a safe environment with experienced dog handlers. Dogs are really social and learn so much from one another. They need a calm, safe and caring environment to interact with other dogs while having enough down time to not get over stimulated or stressed, allowing them to grow and explore with confidence.
You always need a backup
A sudden change in your routine can trigger separation anxiety or changes of behavior in your dog. What if you need to get out of town, or have a work or family emergency? You can’t rely on pet or house-sitters all the time as they might not be available. Having a trusted, secure and familiar environment for your dog to go play while you’re away is exactly what you need. Especially handy when the doggy daycare in Cape Town offers dog boarding or dog sleepovers. You’ll have so much more fun on your holiday knowing that your dog is on vacation, too!
It makes your dog happy
A fun day out with other happy dogs will get your pup’s tail wagging in no time! Good doggy Daycares provide stimulation, routine, balance, interaction and builds confidence in your dog. Constant, supervised interaction with other dogs will leave your dog feeling calmer and less prone to barking or developing aggressive behavior. It’s so important to find a doggy daycare in the Cape Town Southern Suburbs, Tokai or Kirstenhof that has certified dog handlers on staff!
