We have been w/Country Canine for almost a year now. Sending our dog Casey to daycare was more for socialization purposes. We have had only one prior daycare experience to compare w/ CC. It was a day & night comparison. The CC staff truly cares for our dog's physical & emotional well being. Their daily fees are competitive & well worth every penny. The first couple of days at CC staff evaluates who can be integrated w/ who. From day one the CC staff has welcomed us with opened arms. We feel like we are part of an extended family. If there are special instructions (special food, meds, etc.) they are more than willing to help and listen. You will find the office walls covered w/ pictures of all the dogs. This was a sign we were in a CARING & SAFE place. There are plenty of in/outside play areas. Staff actively plays with & engages all of the dogs. At noontime, dogs are crated for a well needed nap. At first we were very concerned because Casey had been abused in a crate before we got him. CC assured us they would watch him closely and make sure he would be ok. After a couple of times the crate it became a non-issue. After nap active play time resumes with the staff. When it's time to pick up your dog someone will bring the dog to you and they will report how their day was. When we get Casey in the car he is already fast asleep before we exit the parking lot-- a sign of a very busy and successful play day! My husband and I cannot imagine going anywhere else for daycare.
