What's in a day

Everything they need. Nothing they don't.

A day at daycare means your dog comes home happy, tired and ready for the couch.

  • Indoor & outdoor play yards

    Turf inside, fresh air outside, whatever the Iowa weather's doing.

  • Supervised group play

    Trained staff on the floor with the pack all day. Never just a camera.

  • Playgroups that fit

    Sorted by size, age and play style after a temperament screening.

  • Midday nap

    A real reset between play sessions, so they come home happy-tired, not wired.

  • Plenty of potty breaks

    Scheduled breaks all day, plus fresh water and shade at every turn.

  • Enrichment

    Games and brain work that challenge their minds as well as their legs.

Word on the street

Daycare regulars say it best

I was very nervous about taking our new puppy to daycare, especially after he seemed scared to meet other dogs. He warmed up and was so happy to go back. We'll be regulars!

Good questions

Daycare, answered

Still wondering? Call (515) 969-2275 and the front desk will help.

What does my dog need before their first day?

A profile in the app, current rabies, distemper, parvo and Bordetella vaccines, and signed agreements. Then a quick temperament screening to find their playgroup.

How are playgroups sorted?

By size, age and play style, based on the temperament screening. Dogs who'd rather skip the crowd can book a Day Stay.

Does my dog need to be fixed?

Dogs over six months who aren't spayed or neutered join Day Stays instead of group play.

Do you have breed restrictions?

Never. Every dog is welcome to try, and every dog passes the same temperament screening.

Can I drop off early or pick up late?

Daycare runs Mon–Sat 6 AM–6 PM and Sun 9 AM–5 PM. Half days are 6 AM–12 PM or 12–6 PM.

Do packages expire or get refunded?

Package sales are non-refundable. [Owner to confirm: do packages expire?]
