Dog care guide

Preparing a puppy for their first daycare visit

A first daycare day should be an introduction, not an endurance test. Preparation, rest and appropriate company matter.

Before the visit

Confirm vaccination guidance with your vet and share the puppy’s feeding, toilet and sleep schedule.

A familiar-smelling item and accurately measured food can make the new setting easier to understand.

Expect a puppy to be tired after a new experience. Keep the evening quiet and share useful observations with the carer.

A gradual introduction can build confidence more successfully than immediately starting with long, frequent days.
