In order to ensure the health and safety of animals in the care of Happy Dog Spot, a strict enrollment procedure must be followed. Each dog participating in daycare or overnight boarding must meet the following requirements:
- at least 16 weeks of age
- spayed or neutered if over 9 months of age
- pass a full day temperament evaluation
- current proof of vaccinations including rabies, DHLPP, and Bordatella
- deemed in general good health by a veterinarian
- free of fleas (It is recommended that dogs are kept on a flea preventative such as Frontline, Advantix, or Inceptor year round.)
The temperament evaluation will examine how suitable each dog is to the daycare environment. Temperament, personality, behavior, and social skills, along with food or toy aggression are some of the screened characteristics. Happy Dog Spot would like to welcome every dog that goes through the evaluation process, however it is important to keep in mind that safety and the well-being of all animals in our care is of utmost importance.
