How often should I take my Dog to day care?
Try day care 2-3 days per week (max) and a dog walker or other alternatives on the other days. If you work long hours and are thinking of getting a puppy – don’t! Adopt an adult dog who will not need the same time commitment and can handle some time alone.
When is day care is bad for your dog?
If your dog must go to day care for several days ask the day care to crate/kennel/separate your dog for breaks and naps during the day. Your dog should not be running around for 8-10 hours straight. A dog day care facility should have a separate space (kennels or crates) for dogs to relax.
What should I do if my dog is pregnant at Week 8?
Week 8 (days 50-57): by day 50 the skeleton of the fetuses is completely formed. You may notice that the pregnant dog spends more time in the whelping box or bed.
