Doggie Day Care in
The Pampered Pooch Palace and The Barker Lounge

Doggie Daycare is a trend that is sweeping across North America. Thousands of pet owners work all day, and this requires leaving your dog(s) home while you work. Often these owners come home to a stressed out dog, destruction either of the house or the yard, and neighbors who complain of barking and howling, due to separation anxiety.

One of the top reasons given at an animal shelter for owner turn-ins is "he destroys my things when I'm not home".

Take our Doggie Day Care Challenge: Do you have to leave your pooch home alone for hours at a time or all day? Do you want a well rounded socialized dog? Do you want to come home at night to a tired dog, instead of a dog waiting for that special walk? Are you too busy for your dog sometimes and feel guilty? Do you want a dog that behaves better in certain situations? Is your dog chewing things or acting out at home when left alone? If you answered YES to one or more of these questions then you've come to the right place! A Diamond in the Ruff Doggie Day Care is what you need! You don't have to feel guilty for leaving your pup home too long or for getting upset when they are destructive when you are not at home! In our professional doggie day care environment your dog will get lots of exercise, socialization and love! Our Pet Care Specialists will supervise your pooch at all times!

Dogs are social animals and enjoy being part of a pack (group), interacting and playing together A Diamond in the Ruff is an ideal environment for this instinctual behavior. For many people, dogs are their children. Leaving them cooped up in the house or apartment all day makes them feel lonely and bored so the dog becomes destructive. Doggie daycare provides a much welcome alternative. Many dogs experience separation anxiety when left alone during the day. They may destroy home furnishings, have accidents in the house, bark non-stop, and become stressed out. Doggie daycare can be a tremendous help to these dogs and their owners. Daycare provides the ideal outlet for even the most active dog's pent-up energy. After a day at A Diamond in the Ruff 'canine 'kids' will be as tired as their 'parents' and will relish an evening cuddling on the couch instead of that anticipated long walk! Regular attendance at daycare will help a dog firm up muscles and lose weight. Daycare is a wonderful solution when a maintenance person pays a visit, an allergic visitor arrives, or an extended appointment schedule necessitates temporary safe and comfortable quarters for a dog. Daycare even makes grooming fun by combining it with a day of play!

Dawn's hand picked day care staff will oversee the day care and insure your dog's welfare and happiness while they are here with us. A Diamond in the Ruff's one of a kind state-of-the-art facility includes a fenced-in outdoor area for play, potty breaks and fresh air. Inside our modern climate controlled building is where the dogs have fun and are separated by size and who makes friends with whom! The areas are separated by walls and all surfaces are impervious for easy clean up and disinfecting! Your dog will enjoy every minute of its time with us and come home feeling healthy, happy and most of all tired!

Our rubber floors in the daycare areas provide anti-fatigue qualities that reduce the amount of stress on your dog’s joints, back and muscles.
