We have four large yards for our furry friends to burn every ounce of energy they have before they come inside to rest comfortably in our climate controlled runs and kennel banks. Sometimes, when they play hard, they get dirty. We offer all-natural baths and coat conditioning.   Our services are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Give us a call!

WE SUPPORT THE NATIONAL DISASTER SEARCH DOG FOUNDATION

Charlie is a canine recruiter for the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. The NDSDF produces the majority of the FEMA certified Live Recovery Rapid Response Disaster K9s. These are the most highly trained and specialized search and rescue dogs in the world. Every time there is a tsunami, an earthquake, a Katrina or 9/11-type event, these are the dogs and handlers that get deployed. Charlie helps by scouring the shelters in the region for that one in a million canine recruit. All of the dogs at the NDSDF come from shelters. It’s an amazing process. If you are interested in learning more, go to Search Dog Foundation’s website. You too can “Join the Search”.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Dog Daze, we provide the best possible care for your four-legged family member. Our goal for the dogs in our care is to create an environment that closely mirrors their existance in the natural world. Exercise, stimulation, socialization and the freedom to play are paramount to making dogs happy. The canine brain is ill-equipped for two states of being: being alone and being confined. Leaving your dog at home in a crate all day is hard for them. Many unwanted behavior issues can spring from an overall lack of stimulation and exercise. Nothing benefits a dog more than the opportunity to play and socialize freely with other balanced, well-behaved dogs. Our dogs are allowed to be as active as they want to be. At night, they sleep like babies.
