Dog Daycare

Blue Water Pet Care offers upscale services including daily daycare for dogs. The clean, safe, and inviting daycare playrooms will delight you and your canine. With three very special rooms, separating puppies/small dogs and large dogs, your pet is sure to enjoy themselves. Not only will they have fun playing with other dogs, they will be getting a ton of exercise. This makes for a much calmer and happier dog while at home. 

For a safe and clean environment, high quality material specifically made for such facilities is used. A sealed, nonporous, slip resistant floor is installed over the 3,000 square-foot play area. We have strict cleaning and sanitizing systems, as well as hospital grade air purifying machines to maximize the cleanliness of  the facility. This, combined with the loving nature of the owner and staff members, will make your dog never want to leave.

The play rooms are equip with large play structures the dogs can run and play on. Each playroom has dog beds for relaxing and lounging. Animals are supervised by trained staff who are knowledgeable in animal behavior and care.

Dogs will play the majority of the day, with opportunities to rest mid-day in luxurious tempered glass suites. After resting, they will resume play in their designated area. Built into the day, are bathroom breaks and a chance for fresh air outside in our new outdoor play area.

Benefits of proper exercise and socialization include: 

• Better health

• Less excessive barking

• Less destructive behavior due to boredom

• Less separation anxiety
