Doggie Day Care Centre

Doggie Day Care Centre - Bunbury

Is your dog feeling lonely and bored?  Then Fido needs us!  We offer a safe, fun environment for dogs to socialise with other dogs and humans. 

Our Doggie Day Care is located at 1 Zaknic Place, Bunbury (the old Indoor Cricket Centre).  

We have large areas for the doggies to play, as well as a separate area for the doggies that need some rest.  Dogs are placed together based on personality and energy levels.

The Doggie Day Care Centre is designed to focus on your doggies having fun and interacting with other dogs, as well as interacting with us humans. Our staff will ensure that your doggie is engaged and happy.

We offer half day bookings and full day bookings.

Half day bookings are up to 5 hours. The price of a half day booking is $45 for one dog, $80 for two dogs from the same home.

Full day bookings are between 5 and 10 hours. The price of a full day booking is $70 for one dog, $120 for two dogs from the same home. 

A Team Member can at times transport your doggie to and from Doggie Day Care for a fee of between $15 and $20 inc GST each way (depending on your location).

**All new dogs will require a meet n greet assessment prior to the date of their first booking.  (Eg, a week or so before you intend to book your dog in for actual Day Care).   Please book your dog in for a meet n greet via this website’s booking form. 

*If at any time whilst attending Day Care your dog hasn’t settled within an hour or so of arriving (eg nuisance barking), we might be calling you to pick your doggie up.  We need to be respectful of our neighbours and the noise levels need to be kept at a reasonable level, as well as being respectful of the comfort of your dog and the other dogs attending.   We do use bark collars when needed and have found them to be very effective with dogs that like to nuisance bark.  The Collars do not stay on all day – short periods of time with the collar on are generally enough to snap your doggie out of the barking frenzy.  You will see a tick box option on the booking form with regards to giving permission to use a bark collar.

**Male dogs over the age of 6 months need to be desexed before they can attend our Doggie Day Care.  If your male dog starts Day Care at a young age (eg 4 months), he is welcome to come until the age of 6 months.  We also allow chemically castrated male dogs to attend Day Care.

**Female dogs that aren’t desexed are allowd to attend Day Care, however they are absolutely not permitted to attend when in heat, and for a week or so after finishing their heat (roughly 4 weeks in total).  

**We require your dog to be vaccinated if they are attending Doggie Day Care.  We understand it is your choice whether you vaccinate your dog or not, but it is our choice not to have unvaccinated dogs at Doggie Day Care.  Unvaccinated dogs are at more risk of having severe symptoms if they contract an illness than dogs that are vaccinated. Whether it be at Day Care or out in the big wide world, the risk is there.  We know of dogs that are never socialised that contract kennel cough or bronchitis – both of these illnesses can travel through the air, so if a dog walks past your house and coughs/sneezes, your dog can get kennel cough from that dog – even without face to face contact.  Vaccinations may not stop your dog from getting sick (just like humans that are vaccinated against the flu – they can still get the flu), but it might reduce the severity of the illness.  If your dog is coughing/sneezing or showing signs of illness PLEASE take them to the Vet immediately and do not allow them to attend Day Care or to be out in public.

**We do not take Rottweilers, Sharpei’s, Dobermans, Staffy’s, German Shepherds and Bully Breeds over the age of 6 months. There are valid reasons for this, and it’s all about the happiness and well-being of your dog! Please see our FAQ tab for further information.

We also do Doggie Washing and Blow Dry at the Doggie Day Care Centre – you can book a Hydrobath via this website.

Please note – all bookings for the coming week need to be made online by 6am every Friday. That will allow us to plan every Friday for the entire next week. If your dog is going to attend weekly or fortnightly, there is an option when booking to choose weekly or fortnightly.  Once you’ve chosen that option, you do not need to put a booking form in every week.

FAQ

We have Eftpos facilities on site. Please pay on the day.

We prefer 24 hours notice if you wish to cancel your Doggie Day Care booking.  50% of the Day Care fee MIGHT be applied if your dog fails to show up. 

We are closed on Public Holidays.

Please take note of the conditions below. They are non-negotiable and we’re sure you can understand why!

  • We will decide if your dog is suitable to attend Doggie Day Care.  We absolutely reserve the right to make the decision and while we do not wish to upset you, if your dog is not considered suitable for a Doggie Day Care environment, we will advise you. The safety and happiness of all of the dogs attending Doggie Day Care is essential.  You could have the friendliest, happiest boy in the world – but he might not like Doggie Day Care – and that’s ok!  We do not want dogs to be forced to come to Day Care – their happiness is paramount.
  • We do have Bark Collars (citronella or electric) onsite and have found them to be very effective with dogs that are constantly barking.  Often short periods of time with the collar on are enough to show a change in behaviour. You can agree or disagree the use of a bark collar when making your booking – but please understand if you disagree and your dog is constantly barking or causing an issue, he/she will not be able to attend in future.
  • We prefer that all dogs are fully vaccinated. 
  • We require all male dogs to be desexed at the age of 6 months, or they will need to stop attending Doggie Day Care. 
  • We will not be feeding dogs any treats unless you provide their treats or give us permission to give them treats from our collection.  Your dog will be taken out of the area to be fed alone.  
  • Please note, you will need to make all bookings by 11am, two days before your dog attends.  You do have the option of choosing a once off or weekly booking.  If you choose a weekly booking, you do not need to book your dog in again for the same day/time the next week – we will do that for you.
  • Please note the website will save your info if you create yourself a free account – that way in future, you will only need to log in and THEN make the booking.  All of the doggie info will be there.  This information is only available to the Business Owner, you and our web guy (who is a friend of the Business Owner and subject to privacy rules/laws).
