There are many reasons why a really good dog day care facility is needed.
These include:
- Dog day care frees owners up to explore without the issue of their dog restricting access to areas of interest.
- Dogs are often left unattended in cars during the summer. This issue may never arise if more facilities for dog owners were available.
- As a family we try and take Bandit everywhere it is possible to go. However, he is getting on a bit now and I am sure he would appreciate long slumbers during the day and not to be on his feet so much. A good dog day care facility should be able to provide places for dogs to rest and sleep.
I feel passionately about this issue. For me the problem is two fold.
- Why is access so limited for dog owners in this county?
- Which day care facility would you trust and how do you know if they were any good?
There is a wide variety of places to visit in the beautiful county of Staffordshire, from stately homes such as Shugborough Hall to fun parks such as Alton Towers. These places are wonderful to visit but they are not especially dog friendly.
I would welcome your doggy day care suggestions. You can add your ideas to the comments section below. I propose that places of interest should be able to provide temporary on site dog care. This would free owners up and create a new revenue stream for the venue. They could restrict the numbers of dogs that would make use of the provision and could charge an hourly fee.
Another proposal would be for more dog day care facilities to be created. Sharon and I have often talked about taking on dogs when their owners have been on holiday. This would ensure they get a more 'real life experience' instead being locked up in a boarding kennel. Moreover, if we had all the money in the world buy a massive field and give dogs the time of their lives. While we gave them first rate care.
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
