Dogs especially struggle with separation anxiety and a lack of positive stimulation while we’re away from home. That’s where Doggy Daycare comes in.
Even if you’re still working from home but you’re just hoping to offer your pup some more excitement throughout the day, Doggy Daycare can be a great option. Whether you’re looking for one or two afternoons a week, or you are on the hunt for everyday care for your dog, Columbus has some great options for dogs of all shapes and sizes.
No matter which of these options you choose, you’ll need to make sure that your dog meets the requirements. In general, daycare facilities require that dogs be up to date on all of their shots and vaccines, as well as being fixed. You can view each individual daycare’s requirements on their websites, which are listed below.
Good luck finding the perfect spot for your dog! Give them a belly scratch from me.
