  • Can dogs with separation anxiety Board or join Daycare?
    We go above and beyond to make your pet happy and comfortable. Usually they end up loving their holiday! We do a trial night or two before a longer stay to allow us to assess them and this will help them to settle. However if they are very unsettled we unfortunately won't be able to have them stay, as in a home from home environment this would keep everyone including the dogs awake! They may cause damage to doors also furniture and create a stressful environment. We recommend talking to your vet as there may be medication they can prescribe that should help calm your dog while staying away from home.
