FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I want my puppy socialized but I’m concerned that all day in the group might be too much for him.
A: Sometimes Shaggy Hound Daycare can be overstimulating or just overwhelming for a younger puppy. Our experienced handlers monitor all daycare members for signs of over-stimulation, overheating, getting too cold, getting cranky or just plain old wearing out.
Q: Can you administer medications in daycare?
A: Yes. Medications will be scheduled according to your instructions and you will be asked to sign a “Medication Sheet” on drop-off. We can administer both “scheduled” and “as needed” medications during the day. We do not stock or provide medications.
