The socialization window for puppies closes faster than most owners realize — and what happens (or doesn't happen) in that window shapes your dog's temperament for life. Puppy daycare at Animal Friends Pet Care gives young dogs the controlled, positive social experiences they need during their most critical developmental months.
Our team understands puppy energy, puppy limits, and the difference between healthy play and overstimulation. Puppies are grouped with appropriately sized, gentle playmates — not thrown into an adult group where they can get overwhelmed. And we monitor closely for signs of stress, always giving puppies an option to rest.
Why Puppy Daycare Matters
- Builds confidence around other dogs during the socialization window
- Reduces fear-based behavior in adult life
- Provides structure and mental stimulation on days you can't exercise them enough
- Tires out the puppy energy — you get a calm evening at home
- Prepares your puppy for future boarding stays with familiar faces and environment
Daycare is $20 a day (or $70 for a 5-day weekly pass). Younger puppies get extra rest breaks through the day; puppies over 4 months usually have the stamina for full play days. Temperament evaluation required before first visit. Call (850) 257-5776.
