Choosing the right dog daycare isn’t just about convenience—it’s about finding a place that treats your pup like family. In a city like Fort Lauderdale, where options for pet care are plentiful, knowing the right questions to ask can make all the difference.
At Social Pawz, we believe in full transparency and a personalized approach to daycare that prioritizes safety, play, and joy for your dog. Here are five essential questions every pet parent should ask before enrolling in a dog daycare—and how Social Pawz proudly answers each one.
1. How much playtime will my dog get during daycare?
Playtime is the heart of a quality daycare experience. At Social Pawz, dogs enjoy supervised play sessions throughout the day—both indoors and outdoors. We separate dogs by size and temperament to ensure safe and engaging play groups,and rotate between playtime, rest periods, and enrichment activities.
Your dog won’t be left in a kennel all day. Instead, they’ll run, chase, play, and explore under the watchful eye of our trained team members. Our playrooms are climate-controlled and spacious, and our outdoor play area includes a dog-friendly pool for splash time and cooling off on hot Florida days.
2. What is the criteria a dog needs to meet to be accepted into your dog daycare?
Not every dog is a fit for every daycare—and that’s a good thing. At Social Pawz, we accept dogs of any breed, size, or age. We hold the right to refuse a dog based on its temperament and behavior. This helps ensure a safe, positive, and balanced environment for all dogs.
To be accepted, your dog must:
- Be current on vaccinations
- Pass our temperament evaluation with our trained staff
- Be free of aggressive behavior
This screening process allows us to build compatible playgroups and maintain the highest standard of safety and fun.
3. What amenities are available during daycare for my dog?
We’re proud to offer top-tier amenities that elevate your dog’s daycare experience. Our facility in Fort Lauderdale includes:
- Indoor, climate-controlled playrooms
- Separate play areas for small and large dogs
- An outdoor turf yard for fresh air and sunshine
- A private dog pool for swimming and water games
- Enrichment toys, obstacle courses, and interactive play
- Private rest areas for nap time and downtime
Every aspect of our facility is designed with your dog’s comfort, safety, and mental stimulation in mind.
4. Do you provide status updates on my dog during daycare?
Yes, and our clients love this about us! At Social Pawz, communication is key. We provide report cards with photos so you can see how your dog is doing, who they played with, and what activities they enjoyed.
Whether you’re at work or on vacation, you’ll feel connected to your dog’s day.
5. Do you offer other services?
Absolutely. We’re more than just a dog daycare—we’re a full-service pet care facility. In addition to daycare, we offer:
- Overnight dog boarding in private, comfortable suites
