FAQ
DAYCARE
HOW LONG WILL MY DOG GET TO PLAY?
Except for a midday 'siesta', your dog will play from the time you drop them off at the Pooch until you pick them up later in the day. This rest time allows your dog to eat, relax and re-energize for a full afternoon of fun.
DO SMALL DOGS GET ATTENTION TOO?
Of Course! We have individual playgroups and segregate the little ones from the larger dogs. In most cases, your dog will choose their own playmates and have a great time. Each dog also receives plenty of TLC and individual attention from our friendly staff.
DO YOU PROVIDE TREATS FOR DAYCARE DOGS?
For your dog's daily 'siesta', we ask that you bring their favorite food or snack. With many dogs having allergies to certain types of food, this keeps your dog happy and healthy. However, if you prefer, we can provide Old Mother Hubbard's all natural biscuits.
WILL MY DOG BE PUT INTO A "CRATE"?
NO...We offer "Crate Free" Daycare and Boarding.
HOW SAFE IS MY DOG?
Safety is our #1 concern at Playful Pooch. It is so important that we have two ABKA Certified Pet Care Technicians on staff at all times so your dog receives the best care! We also have a 24 hour security monitoring service.
HOW BIG IS YOUR FACILITY?
Our facility has over 7,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor play areas. We have three indoor play areas totaling over 3,000 square feet and two separate outdoor play areas totaling 4,500 square feet.
DO YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW BUILDING?
In the spirit of Denver we have decided to renovate a really great building in a convenient location, to make it easy to drop off and pick up your dogs. We have spent the past year upgrading the building and services at The Pooch to provide the best service possible for your pals. Call us for a tour and we know you'll love the place almost as much as we do!
BOARDING
WILL MY DOG HAVE A SEPARATE KENNEL?
Each dog has a separate kennel for the noon siesta and during the night. Our kennels are spacious enough for two large siblings to stay together.
HOW WILL MY DOG BE FED?
We feed our dogs two times per day in their private kennels. It is not necessary to bring your own bowls. We suggest that you bring your dog food in plastic resealable bags or containers, and not dog food bags.
CAN I BRING A DOG BED AND TOYS?
We supply a PetCot for our non-chewing guests, so please let us know when you check in. We recommend that you bring a towel or blanket, so your pooch will feel right at home. Please limit the number of toys that you bring along.
WHAT IF MY DOG REQUIRES MEDICATION?
We are happy to administer medication at no additional charge. Please bring the medication in the original containers. Unfortunately, we are unable to perform injections.
