Our Dog Daycare Programs
Group Play Daycare
In Group Play daycare, your dog spends the day enjoying off-leash, open play alongside other friendly pups. To be eligible, dogs must meet the following requirements:
- Spayed or neutered if 9 months or older
- Up to date on Bordetella, DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvo, parainfluenza), and Rabies vaccines
To keep your dog's evaluation current and help them thrive socially, we recommend visiting at least once a week.
Not sure if Group Play is the right fit? Pawsitive Enrichment may be a great alternative.
Benefits of Group Play Daycare
- Your dog will get to receive socialization, companionship, and exercise throughout their whole day with other four-legged friends
- With Puppy Preschool at our Ferndale location, your new friend doesn't need to be crated all day, enroll them into our innovative program to receive structured socialization, confidence building, and obedience practice while you're at work
- Doggy daycare allows pet parents to relax at the end of the day by bringing home a tired dog
- Daycare is fun! It decreases boredom that can lead to destructive behaviors such as barking and chewing at home

Pawsitive Enrichment Daycare
Looking for a dog daycare that caters to your furry friend's individual needs? While Group Play may not suit every dog, we believe all dogs deserve the perks of socialization, companionship, and a secure environment while their pet parents are away. That's why Canine To Five offers a tailored service, providing personalized attention for dogs who thrive on one-on-one interaction.
To participate in Pawsitive Enrichment, all dogs must:
- Be friendly with strangers, and non-reactive towards other dogs
- Be up to date on Bordetella, DHPP, and Rabies vaccines
- Have passed a Pawsitive Enrichment evaluation day
We recommend visiting at least once per week to stay active and establish a good routine for your dog. While we do accept unaltered dogs, for safety reasons, we cannot lodge dogs while they are in heat or pregnant.
