Q: I have been hearing about doggie day care. Can you tell me what this is?
A: Good question. Doggie day care is taking the world by storm. For people who want to provide the optimum in pet care, and for those who simply do not want their home destroyed while they are at work, there are dog day cares springing up all over.
Cost ranges from 20-30 dollars a day, for an eight or 9 hour day. For that fee, your dog will be allowed to play with other friendly dogs, be fed and walked, and entertained. You can find them in the yellow pages or you can call us for more information.
