Four Paws Doggie Daycare

Our dog Timmy has been going to Four Paws for 4 years. It truly is wonderful. Timmy is always greeted with a smile and kind words. I call all the time to check up on him and my phone calls have always been received warmly. I appreciate the kindness to Tim. Timmy is our first family dog and the guidance and care we get from the Four Paws staff certainly ads to our «fun» of having him.
When I see a pic of of Tim up on their website smiling with all of his buddies I know all is good!

The response by Four Paws is complete bullshit! The fact that you would ever say my dog is matted or has red gunky eyes, sores or bugs in his fur is a complete lie!
There was no misunderstanding at all! My son and I clearly remember the conversation with the groomer!
Do not go here if you love your pet!

We have been bringing our dog (a bichon frise) to Four Paws for about two months. She absolutely loves it. When I take her out of the car, she pulls me to the door and can’t wait to get inside. We love that she has a wonderful place to expend her considerable puppy energy and an opportunity to socialize with other dogs. When I bring her home, she sleeps! Being at Four Paws is a day of activity for her. We appreciate the care and supervision provided by the staff.

We used to bring our dog Gilbert here, I eventually ended up working here as well.
They make play groups based on size/​activity level, and try and get your dog the best fit group. If they aren’t doing well in a group, they get moved to another one to get the best experience possible. There are outside and indoor play areas, and there is rotation through out the day (weather permitting). They have great hours. We miss having a place that has hours like this. Seriously the hours are amazing.
They give you a report card on your dogs first day of day care, (and you can always ask for an updated report card). It’s a really cute touch.
Every week they post new pictures (on their facebook) of the dogs out playing in playgroup, and sometimes video as well.
Gilbert was always exhausted after a full day. (Known as the Four Paws Effect!).
Christine is a great groomer and always worked well with Gilbert who is a very shy, scared and timid boy.
It is very clean. The inside areas are either brick or laminate rubber flooring get mopped and or scrubbed down multiple times a day. The AstroTurf gets scrubbed down multiple times a day. The play castles and ramps get disinfected at least once a day, and the toys all get disinfected at the end of each night.
Gilbert did get bit while boarding one weekend. I wouldn’t be upset/​annoyed; but it was a completely avoidable situation because Gilbert got put in a group with another dog (who I won’t name here), who is known to male aggressive. Those two dogs should have never been by each other. Luckily the bite wound wasn’t that bad (even tough it was on his neck!). This could have easily been avoided. When you chose to put your dog in a pack and have pack play you accept that incidents can and may happen, but this one was easily avoided.

I was referred to Four Paws by our neighbor who has a boxer named Tyson. I also have a boxer named Jake and I was told it was a great way to allow Jake to get some exercise if I would take him for day care. We took him for the first time yesterday and he simply loved it. He came home exhausted and happy. The owner and the young man who greeted us were very warm and interested in Jake. You could tell they love dogs. Jake is going back this Sunday for the day as I will be busy handling a busy Mothers Day at my restaurant and Jake would have to spend the day alone. Yay for Four Paws, only 7 miles from my home.

I boarded two dogs over a long holiday weekend. They came home exhausted thanks to playing with other dogs during the day, and they were boarded together at night. I’m assuming they followed my feeding instructions (feeding my lab separately from ALL other dogs, including the second dog I boarded due to food aggression) since I didn’t hear of any injuries. I shopped around, and felt their price was the best for what I wanted for my dogs (day time play and boarding in the same kennel at night).
I wish they had given me a «report card» of what the dogs did, how they behaved, etc. That’s my only complaint.

My dog goes here once a week, every week. When you first go, they will evaluate your dog to see his/​her behavior with other dogs, and activity level/​play style. They will then group him/​her with other dogs similar. They are moved throughout the day, inside/​outside to different rooms. My dog LOVES going here! He knows the day, and gets very excited!
The plus is that there is also boarding and grooming services. So if your dog is a regular daycare member, they are already used to being there, and having to stay away fro home isn’t such a big deal for them then. Everyone is very friendly, and I feel confident leaving my dog with them. Thanks guys!
