A week of day care can be priced three ways, and the cheapest one depends on how often you come.
Paying by the day
The daily rate for one dog is $38. A Monday through Friday work week is 5 x $38 = $190. A dog who comes seven days in a row would be 7 x $38 = $266. A second dog sharing a kennel is $32 a day.
Paying by the hour
Hourly day care is $7 an hour, capped at $38. Five hours is 5 x $7 = $35, and from the sixth hour on, the cap applies, so no day costs more than $38. Hourly care suits a short appointment, not a full workday.
The buy-10-get-12 package
The package is $380 for one dog per kennel, which is 10 days at $38 for 12 days of day care. Two dogs per kennel is $700. Two weeks of Monday-to-Friday day care uses 10 of the 12 days, and the extra two can wait for next time. See the packages page.
Which is best for your week
If your dog comes once or twice a week, the daily rate is simple. If you plan on a steady schedule through the month, the package is built for it. The day care cost guide compares them side by side, and the frequency guide helps with the schedule.
Vaccines and drop-off
Day care dogs need the same four vaccines as boarders, and pick-up follows the posted windows: 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM.
