Pros and Cons of Dog Parks and Doggy Day Care

Marty and Laura debate dog parks and doggy day care, weighing the risk versus the reward of each.

Dog parks and doggy daycare are convenient solutions to busy schedules. But they do have downsides. We’re here to help walk you through some of the considerations.

“Some (doggy daycares) are run really well,” Marty noted, “so I don’t wanna say that they’re all negatively associated. But there are some that have really done well and some that are really not done well.

“I think the most important aspect of a daycare experience for the dog is that it’s regular, it’s scheduled, and you know the playgroup that your dog is going to be in, rather than having it just be, you know, some random situation that just lets everybody out together where there can be a real brouhaha and create some significant injuries, illnesses and other issues.”
