New here?
Your dog's first day
Every new dog starts the same way: a free meet and greet, a free first day of daycare, and a report card home. Here is exactly how it goes, so drop-off day holds zero surprises.
Booking runs through Goose and takes about two minutes. Prefer to talk first? Call (479) 323-1206.
How a first visit goes
A free meet and greet
You and your dog come say hi. We meet your dog, hear about their quirks, and figure out which playgroup fits their size and temperament. It costs nothing and takes the pressure off everyone.
A first day free, in the right group
Your dog spends their first daycare day free, placed in a playgroup matched to them and supervised the whole time. Dogs who are happier solo get solo yard time instead.
A report card home with photos
You pick up a tired, happy dog and a report card with photos on your phone: how the day went, who they played with, and how they settled in.
After the free first day, you can try 3 more days for $49.95.
What to bring
- Current vaccine records from your vet, or upload them when you book through Goose
- For boarding stays: your dog's regular food portioned per meal
- Any medications, with dosing notes
- One comfort item that smells like home, like a blanket or a toy
We supply bowls, bedding, treats, and the entertainment.
Leave the leash at home
For safety, we do not allow leashes or collars in the building or play yards. If one comes with your dog, we will send it back home with you at drop-off.
Vaccination requirements
Every guest needs current vaccinations before their first visit:
- Rabies
- DHLPP
- Bordetella
Flea and tick prevention is required for every guest, no exceptions, to keep the whole building pest-free. We also recommend year-round heartworm and intestinal parasite prevention.
Bring your vet records to your first visit or upload them when you book through Goose.
First-visit questions
Does my dog need a trial day before daycare or boarding?
We ask new daycare dogs to start with a free meet and greet so we can match them to the right playgroup. It keeps every dog in the yard safe and comfortable.
What vaccinations does my dog need?
Dogs need current rabies, DHLPP, and bordetella vaccinations. Bring your vet records to your first visit or upload them when you book through Goose.
What parasite prevention do you require?
Flea and tick prevention is required for every guest, no exceptions, to keep the whole building pest-free. We also recommend keeping your dog on heartworm and intestinal parasite prevention year-round.
What should I pack for boarding?
Your dog's regular food portioned per meal, any medications, and one comfort item like a blanket or toy. We supply bowls, bedding, and everything else. Keeping your dog on their own food avoids upset stomachs.
Should I bring a leash or collar?
Leave them at home. For safety, we do not allow leashes or collars in the building or play yards; if one comes with your dog, we will send it back home with you at drop-off.
