Doggie Daycare at Whiskers and Paws Pet Resort

Whiskers and Paws Pet Resort at Murphy Road Animal Hospital offers a fun, safe, and affordable opportunity to give you and your dog what you both truly need and deserve: A day off!   Our doggie daycare service provides dogs with the perfect atmosphere to run, jump, play, and interact with one another in a secure, clean, and controlled atmosphere. This social interaction with other dogs and people is necessary on a regular basis for optimal emotional and physical health (and to help keep them out of trouble at home).

Doggie daycare helps dogs learn how to interact with unfamiliar dogs and people appropriately.  Dogs need socialization throughout their lives; lack of continued social experience can result in undesired behaviors. As little as one day a week at doggie daycare can develop a calmer, happier dog at home. Dogs enjoy spending time in social packs.  Being left home alone for long periods of time is unhealthy and can lead to several behavior problems such as: destructive chewing, digging, excessive barking, house training accidents, obsessive behavior, extreme attention seeking, frustration, anxiety, and even aggression. On-leash walks alone are insufficient to satisfy the needs of many active young dogs.

While dog parks can be a fun experience and an excellent way to expend some of your dog’s incessant exuberance, they may also be very stressful and may even result in gruesome dog fights.  Remember, it simply takes one irresponsible owner and one unbalanced, under-socialized dog to start a dog scuffle.

Our well-managed daycare center is a great place for socializing your dog. Unlike dog parks, daycare play sessions are supervised by experienced, trained staff that is capable of identifying subtle signals that would alert them to a potentially dangerous situation.  Playgroups are limited in number, and dogs are grouped together by similar size and energy levels. Owners are interviewed and dogs “temperament-tested” to help ensure a safer pack dynamic in the daycare setting.

Whiskers & Paws mission is to provide your dog with a safe and healthy engaging play environment to enrich their spirit, enhance their social skills, and give hours of activity to stimulate their mind and body. Basic obedience and manners are incorporated into our daily activities and a webcam is available for you to view your dog having a great time throughout the day.

Our program offers play on playground equipment and an agility tunnel, snack time, splashing in our cool outdoor pool and sprinklers during the summer, chewing on bones and toys, or just having fun running around our 800 square foot indoor or 9,000 square foot outdoor area. When dogs are tired, they are welcome to enjoy a nice nap before starting all over again! At the end of the day you will find your much-loved pet just as ready to retire to a quiet, relaxing evening at home as you are. Aside from a happy, healthy dog, we offer the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your dog is under the care and supervision of our trustworthy and experienced resort family 100% of the time.
