DGS DAY-Care is PLAY-Care!

 

Reservations are required for all daycare dogs, however evaluations are required only for dogs age 6 months and older.  If your dog is under 6 months you may call (203) 838-7729 or email info@doggonesmart.com to make a reservation!

Dog Gone Smart understands dogs and their need to exercise and socialize with other dogs. Boredom leads to destructive behaviors such as chewing, licking, digging or barking. Play keeps a dog’s body and mind active and builds a healthier, happier, better-behaving pet. Day care at DGS is filled with stimulation, interaction and play with other dogs. There are also appropriate rest times and naps. We offer a clean, healthy and nurturing environment for your canine companion. Our expert staff is dedicated to ensuring that your dog is well cared for, happy and safe at all times.

Early Drop Off / Late Pick Up    

If your dog needs to be dropped off before our normal opening or after our normal closing, special arrangements may be possible if made in advance at an additional charge.

No dog can be picked up after 11:00 pm. If you can't pick him up by then we will gladly take care of him overnight for the boarding fee.
