Now with two locations - Strand and Firgrove - DogsDayOut is your friendly local doggy daycare, boarding and cattery service. Here you'll find everything you could possibly need (and much more): expansive indoor/outdoor play areas, professionally-trained handlers, a Dog Taxi, grooming service and goodies shop for starters!
Hold up! Basic Admission Requirements:
For daycare & boarding:
- Animals must be spayed/neutered to continue being eligible for doggy daycare and boarding (full details here).
- All vaccinations must be up to date (including for Kennel Cough!)
- Pets must be completely free of fleas & ticks.
- FOR BOARDING it is important to note that we require a minimum of 3 days of daycare to have been completed at Dogs Day Out before any dog may be booked in for sleepovers, to ensure we've had ample time for temperament assessment. This ensures the safety & happiness of ALL our guests.
- PLEASE NOTE that, regrettably, we cannot book in Pit Bulls or Bull Terriers.
If you have a Staffordshire Terrier under 6 months old, he/she may be booked in for an assessment day. If your Staffie passes our assessment, he/she will then be allowed to be booked in for doggy daycare indefinitely.
Admission Requirements for Dogs
- Rabies, every 3 years
- DHLPP vaccine (guards against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus), annually
- Bordetella (kennel cough), annually - please note that you should always check that your dog has been vaccinated against kennel cough, as not all vets give this vaccine with standard vaccinations!
Additional requirements:
- Ensure your pet regularly has flea and tick treatment as well as deworming treatment.
- Please note that any cats coming to the cattery must be brought in a secure cat cage or carrier and all dogs on a leash at all times unless otherwise instructed by one of our qualified staff.
Assessment & temperament requirements:
- All pets who will be staying with us will need to have been with us for 3 days of daycare to determine their temperament and social behaviours. This is simply to ensure the safety and basic enjoyment of ALL our four-legged guests.
- PLEASE NOTE that, regrettably, we cannot book in most "bull" breeds (Pitbulls, Bull Terriers, or Boerboels, etc). Feel free to WhatsApp us if you need to inquire about your dog, however please be advised that we will most likely stand by our general assessment for the safety of the other dogs in our care.
Staffordshire Terriers under 6 months old may be booked in AFTER they have passed an "assessment day" at Dogs Day Out.
Sterilization requirements:
- Your doggy is welcome as soon as their third vaccination has been completed; We will, however, require that all male dogs be neutered by 8 months and females spayed by 6 months if they wish to continue participating in daycare and boarding here at DogsDayOut.
