Lucky Dogz Doggie Daycare

Life. Savers.
Seriously. Our rescue dog is high energy, high maintenance and can be prone to being high anxiety if we break her routine. Lucky Dogz has been incredible for us. We see them 2x a week, and our dog comes home happy, healthy, and tired. Unlike some other daycares, she doesn’t seem to come home overstimulated — just happily tired.
The dogs are monitored while they’re there, I think separated by temperment or size (not sure which). The pick up and dropoff processes are easy and secure — which can be one of the hardest parts to get right (sounds silly, but ever been to a daycare that just lets dogs out into the lobby when their owners pick them up, without a leash on, and with a door to the outside right there? yeah. it has the potential to get really ugly and unsafe).
Our dog is so particular that she’s never done well boarding anywhere — she’d always come back with GI upset from the stress, and it would take days to recover. We were limiting our travel/​vacations to when our dogsitter was available. We did a couple of test rounds of sleepovers @ Lucky Dogz — and it’s been amazing. Our pup comes home happy to see us, and tired, but otherwise 100% normal. No clinginess, no GI issues.
Lucky Dogz is seriously seriously awesome.

If I could give less stars than one I would. The complete disregard for animal safety & for their customers astounds me. My animal got bit 3 times while in their hands, never once was anything discussed with my husband or myself. Not only were they too cowardly to confront us about the situation, but when we told them that our dog could no longer attend (because we worried for our animal’s safety) the owners lied directly to our faces and said the issue was discussed previously. We have a very high energy animal, who loves to play & wrestle. This was always known & was never a problem. We take our very sweet & submissive dog to dog parks, socialization classes, & have received training. Every one that comes into contact (animal or human alike) make countless comments on what a friendly happy dog we have. I guess I should’ve known better when I showed up & it looked like a mini dog ghetto. You people are shameful!!!

Our pup really IS a lucky dog. It’s true she can’t report what she’s done all day at day care, or tell us what she learned, or with whom she played. But, it’s clear she is always excited to arrive at Lucky Dogz and reluctant to leave (in the early days especially.)
After a friend told us about Lucky Dogz it felt like we were hearing about them from lots of random folks we were meeting through our pup. We started her there when she was about eight months old and she’s been going two to three days a week for five months now. It’s been a totally positive experience for her (and us.)
Paul and Elizabeth are easy to work with and they run a professional and pleasant business. As you’d expect, they have a system for how they do things but if they can accommodate «special requests» they will. Our pup specially requests and receives her share of cuddles and attention from the staff, who are lovely to dogs and people alike.
Dogs play with age/​size appropriate companions for most of the day. Play is supervised but not regimented. There are toys, and ramps and runs (and pools in the summertime.) Who really knows what they do all day but our pup clearly has fun, feels comfortable, and comes home exhausted, ready to eat and crash.
Lucky Dogz also offers boarding and we left our pup for the first time over the holidays. It was comforting to take her to a place and people familiar to her. (Lucky Dogz, knowing we were worried, sent pictures each day without being asked, which we thought was a very thoughtful (and smart!) thing to do.) We know others who have had positive boarding experiences with them as well.
Cost is totally fair for the service and care provided.
While I am reluctant to share the joys of Lucky Dogz lest they get overrun with new clients… it seems only fair to bark their praises. (Couldn’t resist… sorry!) Elizabeth and Paul, along with their staff, provide a wonderful service to the canine community and their lucky people.

This facility is impressive. Very clean and ample space for the dogs as well as ample parking. I attended a pugs play group/​fundraiser for the Delaware Valley Pug Rescue. I purchased decorative collars for my three pugs, which were sewn by nice ladies, I also donated a bag full of harnesses, coats and leashes for the rescue. Then we paid for pictures with Santa. The guy who played Santa was fantastic, he even balanced all three of my pugs on his lap. Good work.
Unfortunately the person who was photographer is worst than a two year old with a camera. My husband and friend who came with us were horrified by who awful the pictures were, as they were all out out of frame and some were even out of focus. Surely there must be SOMEONE who is willing and able to operate a camera, who can volunteer next time. I addressed the issue with Marie Zollo, but she said that the «photographer» is a friend of hers and doesn’t want to replace her. Rumor has it that said «photographer» suffers from drug and alcohol problems and has a very bad temper, so apparently Marie is afraid of the lady with the camera.

One year later, I’m still VERY happy with Lucky Dogz for all of the reasons in my first review.
I’ve also used their boarding service quite a lot in the past year and am grateful for the ability to board somewhere safe and familiar to us and our dog.
I don’t have that guilty feeling I used to have whenever I boarded the dog… now I know it’s like she’s just getting an extended dog play camp.

Lucky Dogz takes care of our dogs as if they’re part of their family!
The staff genuinely love dogs and focus on being sure the dogs have a great time as well as learning great socialization skills. You can trust Lucky Dogs to keep your dogs safe, happy and tired!
Our dogs go several days a week — and they come home tired & happy each time.
Lucky Dogz also does boarding — and the dogs are able to play all day long with other boarders or day care dogs — so they’re out and active all day. We’ve also taken advantage of their training classes which are led by Elizabeth, owner and certified trainer — they’re wonderful.
Their location allows for good indoor play when the weather is inclement — and a mix of indoor and outdoor play most days. They’ve accommodated our special requests when necessary and genuinely care how our dogs are doing.
Can’t recommend these guys highly enough!
