At Pinnacle Pets, our daycare guests begin with a personalized Enrollment Evaluation to ensure every dog enters our groups safely and confidently. Our management team takes the time to introduce each new guest slowly—first with calm one-on-one dog meetings, then with a gradual introduction to the larger group. We observe body language, energy levels, and comfort with different personalities to determine the best fit for your dog’s social experience.

We’re looking for dogs who are comfortable around others, respond well to social cues, and show positive, respectful play behavior. Our priority is always safety—for your dog, for our team, and for every guest in our care. Some dogs may need more time to adjust or benefit from alternative services, and that’s okay too. We’re here to help each dog succeed in the environment that’s best for them.

Comfortable raised beds are provided for your pup’s comfort and orthopedic support.  You are welcome to bring additional items such as toys or blankets, but please be aware that we cannot be responsible for lost or destroyed items and do not recommend bringing anything sentimental or fragile.  We provide dishes and kongs and ask you do not bring your own. We do lots of cleaning and they can get mixed in with our own supplies easily. We always want to return what you bring!

We provide our guests with up to three meals a day per your instructions.  We recommend you bring the food your pup typically eats so we don’t change their diet. Please proportion your pup’s food. Due to storage limitations, please do not bring large bags of food or storage containers.

Providing a rich stimulating experience for your dog will allow you to work guilt-free knowing you are maintaining the quality of your dog’s life.  Doggy daycare can give your dog a safe combination of exercise, structure, and socialization.

Bored dogs can be destructive but regular daycare will give your dog the energy and socialization he needs to be a better, calmer and happier addition to your home.

Our daycare services are currently on a waitlist but boarding dogs can still be evaluated for and join group play during their overnight stays.

Human attendants are present 100% of the time during playgroup sessions and trained in dog body language, behavior, and playgroup safety. Our staff to dog ratio exceeds recommendations by the Pet Care Association and notable dog experts in the field.

Daycare:

Daycare participants will enjoy both structured and free play with rest breaks to rejuvenate and eat.  Structured play will vary but can include hide-and-seek, fetch, group training, playing with bubbles, tug-of-war matches, and more.  We also have wading pools and ball pits available!

Boarding:

If you choose, your pup can enjoy the benefits of daycare during their stay.  If not, don’t worry, you can add on one-on-one play time with a staff member (cuddle time, play time, walking adventures and more).  Each furry friend that spends the night will automatically enjoy multiple outdoor breaks for bathroom needs, running off some energy, and exploring.

Pinnacle Pets engage in several policies to help ensure the safety of our guests. In addition to a careful screening of all playgroup participants, our staff receives initial and ongoing in-depth training on understanding dog body language, recognizing stress signals, early identification and intervention techniques for aggressive behavior and strong leadership skills to refocus negative behavior without the use of intimidation, corrections, or physical manipulation of the animal.
The health and safety of our guests are our priority. Prior to accepting our guests into daycare, our trained staff provides an in-depth Enrollment Evaluation to better understand each guest’s personality and temperament. This process evaluates individual personality and temperament to determine appropriate playgroup placement. Guests without adequate social skills or the inability to play safely are not able to participate in play groups and will be offered one-on-one play time with our staff. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

For the health and safety of all pets in our care, we ask that all guests be on a monthly flea and tick preventative, though we do not require proof of administration.

• Daycare: We recommend a topical flea treatment, as flea collars must be removed before playtime to ensure group safety.
• Boarding: We reserve the right to remove a flea collar if it poses a risk to your pet but will generally allow it to remain on outside of group play.

If we discover fleas or ticks on your pet, appropriate treatment will be administered at your expense.
