What Does Dog Day Care Cost in Auckland?
The cost of putting your dog into a daycare centre in Auckland will vary. We found prices to be between $35 and $45 per night for a single night stay. Take this as a general cost, and you should have an idea of what you will need to pay. Most dog daycare providers will offer discounts for more than one day and be aware that overnight charges will be extra should a night stay be required.
What to Consider When Choosing a Doggy Day Care Provider in Auckland
Your dog’s welfare, and whether it is happy and content in daycare, is the most important factor, so here’s a brief guide to choosing the right Auckland dog daycare provider:
The above is by no means a comprehensive list, but it covers most of the questions you need to be answered.
- Pay a visit before you need to use the facility and ask to look beyond the reception area. You need to know where your dog will spend its time, and who with.
- Ask what the dog will be doing during the day: will it be taken for walks or able to play? What is the general schedule of actiivities?
- Are there many other dogs in the daycare centre, and if so, are they allowed to socialise? If so, are you happy with your dog associating with the different breeds you see on your visit?
- Talk to the staff and find out their background with dogs and assess whether you think they look as though they enjoy dogs and the job. Dogs feed on the happiness of those looking after them.
- How much space is there per dog? The more the better, especially for larger breeds.
- Look for a calm and quiet daycare centre, rather than a noisy and over-busy one.
- Make sure they do not take un-neutered male dogs - this is important for every dog, male or female.
- Do they take all breeds, or are they select?
- Are they fully insured? Only ever use a dog care provider with insurance.
The above is by no means a comprehensive list, but it covers most of the questions you need to be answered.
