Paws in the Paddock

To ensure the safety and happiness of all dogs in our care, we require the following:

· Dogs must be at least 4 months old

· Must be spayed or neutered if over 8 months or have written permission from vet

· Up to date on all vaccinations

· Free of fleas, ticks, and contagious illnesses

· Must passbehavioural exam required 

· Owners must complete forms and sign our liability waiver

We kindly ask you do not stay to watch the trial, as some dogs’ behaviour can vary drastically when with their owner. Some are reliant on their owner(s), whilst others are protective. They can smell and sense you near, your emotions and will replicate or be affected. You are giving your dog the highest chance of being accepted, by not staying. We understand this can be quite daunting, but it is in the best interest of your pooch. 

Dogs are not washed unless rolled in wildlife faeces. In which case they will be rinsed off and lightly washed with oatmeal shampoo.  

For daycare - please bring a leash, collar or harness and lunch for puppies 8 months and under.
When boarding - please bring their daily food, a blanket or shirt that smells like home and their collar/leash set. The rest we have covered! 

Dogs are pack animals and prefer to stay with their group rather than explore alone. They look for guidance from the pack leader and typically won't leave without permission. We also use high reward treats and consistent recall. 

Daycare will be cancelled when forecast predicts 38 degrees or higher. Dangerous conditions with intense storm/wind/rain. Owners will be contacted via text and socials by 9pm latest the day prior, for weather conformation. Minimal spots will remain available for dogs who cannot be let home alone, who will be in the care of DJ at her home.

We give chicken free treats, due to this being the most common dog allergy. Fish, lamb, beef and kangaroo are our go to treats. If your dog has an allergy, please ensure you let us know when filling out your information form.

Yes, we are muzzle friendly and highly supportive.
