What is Dog PlayCare?
At Paws ‘n Claws PlayCare, we specialize in caring for your dog while you are at work or when you have other commitments that would require your dog to be left home alone. We are dedicated to giving the pets in our care a day of fun and exercise by participating in games and activities, socializing with other dogs and getting lots of emotional and mental stimulation.
The end result will be the happiness, satisfaction and peace of mind you will get from knowing that you are providing your pet with the utmost in personal care and affection by bringing them to dog PlayCare. Of course, your dog will love it too!

Safety First!
We take safety seriously. While your dog is in our facility, it is our baby and we treat it as such. We have a limiit as to how many dogs are allowed in our groups at any given time. Like people, dogs need personal space. Our space is large enough to allow your dog to play without entering the personal space of another dog. We ensure that there is at least one Coach (handler) per ten dogs. It is not natural for your pup to play all day long. Most pups know when they need to take a break. If your pup is unable to know when to take a break from playing, we help your pup by removing it from the group and introducing some sort of personal enrichment activity.
In order to ensure that our guests are safe at all times, we clean all day long. We do not have shared/communal bowls. Instead, we have constant flowing water for our daycare guests.
Just as importantly, we are in constant communication with you as the pet parent. We make sure to communicate any changes we may see in your baby - inluding, but not limited to, behavioral changes.
