Daycare

IMPORTANT UPDATE – Due to an outbreak of canine influenza in Michigan in 2018 (not at Lucky Dog). We require that all dogs have completed the series of 2 flu vaccines. We have required the flu vaccine since June of 2015 and will continue to update our requirements as needed.

Your dog will enjoy fun, safe, social play with constant supervision from experienced staff members. We have nearly 10,000 sq feet of playrooms. Each room inside and outside has play equipment and active friends waiting for your high-energy pup to join them. Don’t have a high-energy pooch? Sedentary and overweight dogs can get healthier just by coming to daycare.

Before starting daycare every dog is required to pass a temperament test.  Temperament tests are done every day 7 days a week between the hours of 10:30 am-12:00noon and 1:30 pm-3:30 pm. No appointment is needed. dogs are allowed to play in daycare any day of the week. Which playroom your dog will play in depends on their breed, size, personality, and activity level. At Lucky Dog, all dogs receive ALL DAY daycare. Dogs are welcome to play all day from open to close.

Unlike other daycares, unless requested by owners or due to aggressive behavior, no pets receive a “break time” or are required to spend time in a kennel. Here at Lucky Dog, we have fun all day long! “Of course the play areas all have quiet corners and comfy beds for those canine cuties that need a little snooze time”. With holiday parties and social events throughout the year Lucky Dog can be your Best Friends home away from home, so get ready for some fun!

  • Pups must have at least a series of two DHPP vaccines. These vaccines are usually given every 3 weeks until puppies reach 16-18 weeks.
  • Bordetella Vaccine for Kennel cough. Bordetella can be given like nose drops as an intranasal vaccine, as an oral vaccine squirted in the mouth, or as a regular injectable vaccine. If receiving the injectable vaccine, puppies are required to complete the series of 2 prior to starting at Lucky Dog. All Bordetella vaccines are required every 6 months.

  • The most veterinarian recommended optimal time to socialize a puppy is between 8-12 weeks. It becomes more difficult with each week after that. Daycare helps shy & submissive dogs by building their confidence. Daycare also helps rambunctious puppies get tired by releasing pent-up energy. At Lucky Dog puppies may start to attend daycare or boarding as early as 10 weeks of age as long as they have had 2 DHPP vaccines, 2 Lepto vaccines, 2 Flu vaccines, a Bordetella vaccine to help prevent Kennel Cough, and a negative fecal check. Our other vaccine requirements for Rabies is dependent upon the age and size of each puppy. Start your puppy early, help them grow up to become a confident and friendly canine companion.
