Overview
Our transparent, spacious and cage-free environments are perfect for providing dogs with the physical and mental stimulation they need. By spending the day at our dog day care centre, K9 clients enjoy:
At Happy Paws Fitness, we get to know each one of our dogs (and their parents) personally. We know their names, their habits, their dispositions, and who their best friends are. In fact, we make it our mission, to get to know your dog just as well as you do! And as proud members of both the Pet Industry Association of Australia and Pets Australia, you can feel rest assured that your K9 will be looked after by a team that adheres to industry best practices and standards.
Enrolment requirements
In order to enrol in the Happy Paws Fitness doggy day care program, all dogs must:
The assessment
It is mandatory for all dogs to undertake a behavioural assessment before they can be enrolled in doggy day care at Happy Paws Fitness. Our number one priority is the safety of our staff and canines and we therefore need to ensure that any new dogs are free from aggressive and anti-social behaviours. The assessment involves you bringing your dog to us for 20 minutes while we monitor his or her behaviour. While all this happens, we will get you to fill out some brief paper work with some important information about you and your pup. Provided the assessment is passed, you will be welcome to leave your K9 with us for the day or otherwise you will be free to book in whenever you desire!
Walking Safety
All Dog daycare group walks are on lead only, and in groups of up to 4 dogs at a time.
In extreme weather conditions, daycare walks will either be postponed or modified to account for the conditions. This includes temperatures of over 34C , storms and heavy rain showers.
