Good Evening Dog Parents!
To offer a bit more insight into how we approach the weather and how we decide to structure their time outside, so everyone is safe and happy, here are some of our guidelines and thoughts processes!

Weather Advisory Guidelines
The Ground
Moisture (snow, ice, rain, etc)
Temperature
State of frozen precipitation (Fresh snow, hard crunchy snow, jagged ice, etc).

The Air
How windy is it? Is there a wind chill?
Humidity.

The Temperature
What is the temp?
What is the Feels Like temp?

The Dogs
Coat length and thickness.
Actively playing vs standing or sitting around.
Lifting paws like they are uncomfortable.
Ice/snow/rocks freezing to their feets.
Any shivering or obvious signs of being cold.

Some blanket statements for weather conditions.
Feels Like 20 + Sunny + Dry = Dogs go out.
Feels Like 20 + Cloudy + Wet = Short Let-out's.
Feels like 30 + Sunny + Crunchy Ice/Snow = Full let out but watch dogs for lifting paws and cracked pads letting those in that need to come in.
Feels like 25 or less + Dark out + wet/sharp ground = Short Let-Outs.

If you have any questions or concerns please let us know!

Good evening Daycare Parents new and old!
❄️❄️

Just a reminder as cold season is picking up!
During times of winter weather, including if it is just really cold! We will be doing short let outs for the dogs during these times, meaning your pups will be checked in for daycare and given a short bit outside to potty, but then will be inside warm cozy kennels until the weather is safer to be out in the long term. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email!

Our dogs’ Thanksgiving plan: Eat all the snacks, nap through the football game, and pretend they didn't steal the turkey. 🦃 Same as every year, really.
Happy Thanksgiving from our goofy pack to yours!

Wishing you a heart full of gratitude this season 🐾❤️

However you choose to celebrate, we can all be thankful for at least one thing—dogs.

They teach us so much: unconditional love, joy in the little things, living in the moment, loyalty, and how to find happiness even on the hardest days.

Their simple wisdom reminds us what truly matters.
