HOW TO GET STARTED
Ready to try doggy daycare and see what all the fuss is about? Here's how it works:
-
Complete the online enrolment & email your dog's C5 vaccination certificate to info@dogshq.com.au (just a pic on your phone is fine!).
-
We'll be in touch to chat further about your pooch & answer any questions you might have, and then arrange a meet-and-greet if necessary or book in your first day.
-
On your dog's first day, arrive at 7.30am so your dog can meet our team and their new friends one-by-one and be assigned to a play group. We’ll get them settled in and assess their behaviour closely.
-
If all goes well with the assessment and your pooch is a good fit for doggy daycare, you relax and enjoy the rest of your day knowing they're having an awesome time!
-
Collect your tired, happy pup by 6.30pm and take them home for cuddles and a quiet night!
