On the fence about doggy daycare? Here’s why you should introduce doggy daycare
days into your dogs routine!
Doggy daycare can provide numerous benefits for dogs as well as their
owners…here’s why:
1. Socialisation: Dogs get to interact with other dogs and people, which is
crucial for their social development. This can prevent behavioural issues
stemming from isolation or lack of social exposure. Oodles and More provides
a safe environment for smaller breeds to interact with dogs similar in size
where dogs can enjoy their socialisation time without compromising on safety.
2. Exercise and Activity: Daycare facilities often provide ample space for dogs
to run, play, and exercise. This helps maintain their physical health and
energy levels.
3. Relief from Boredom: Dogs can get bored and anxious when left alone for
long periods. Daycare provides mental stimulation through activities, toys, and
social interactions. At Oodles, we pride ourselves on keeping your dog active
and enriched through an ever-changing flow of fun and engaging activities.
4. Supervision and Safety: Professional staff members supervise our dogs to
ensure they play safely and intervene if necessary. This reduces the risk of
injury or conflicts.
5. Routine and Structure: Dogs thrive on routine. Daycare can provide a
structured environment with regular play sessions, and rest periods. If you
would like to best enhance your dogs daily routine, we recommend daycare
drop offs and pickups at around the same time each visit. If this is
unachievable, that’s ok too! The best routine is the one that you can manage
with your schedule.
6. Training Opportunities: Daycares often offer basic training or reinforcement
of commands, which can improve obedience and behaviour.
7. Convenience for Owners: You can drop off your dog knowing they will be
cared for and entertained during the day, making it easier to manage your
busy life.
8. Peace of Mind: Knowing your dog is happy and well-cared for can relieve
your guilt or worry about leaving your pup home alone or not being able to
throw them that ball that they place on your lap when you’re on a zoom call on
a work from home day.
Doggy daycare can be a beneficial option for dogs of all ages, breeds, and
temperaments, offering dogs a safe, engaging environment to stimulate their brains,
ignite their senses and exert their energy while providing owners with convenience
and peace of mind. Doggy daycare isn’t just a luxury—it’s a way to ensure your furry
friend is happy, healthy, and well-adjusted!

Dogs absolutely thrive on routine. They are at ease when they know what time they’ll
be fed, walked, what time the kids come home from school, and when they’ll be
taken down to the local coffee shop on a Saturday morning for their weekly
puppuccino.
Working to establish a healthy and consistent routine for your dog is crucial to
reducing potential stress and anxiety so their cognitive functioning can be at its peak,
and they can be their happiest and healthiest versions of themselves.
However as life can be chaotic, and at best we can struggle managing our own
routines, it can be difficult to establish and stick to one for our beloved dogs.
So…here’s some simple steps to creating a fool-proof doggy daycare routine for
your dog.
1. Book in for regular daycare visits – we find that dogs who visit daycare on
a regular basis (at least one time per week) settle in faster during the day, are
calmer, are less stimulated and can better socialise as they are likely to get to
know the other dogs better with frequent playtime with their friends.
2. Try to visit the same days each week – try to pick a day or two each week
that works best for you and try to stick to that as much as you can. Dogs have
a great internal clock. They will quickly become aware of their designated
daycare days and will wake up excited and ready to go, instead of playing an
internal guessing game each morning of what their agenda will be for that day.
Most dogs who visit daycare do frequent on the same days each week, so it’ll
give your dog a really great chance to get to know the pups they’re sharing
their days with.
3. Feed your dog breakfast at least 1 hour before dropoff- dogs tummies
though fairly robust, can also be quite sensitive. If you usually feed your dog
breakfast, we recommend doing so at least an hour before drop off to ensure
that their meal has digested and wont cause digestive issues during play.
4. Try to pick up and drop off at similar times each day – this way, your dog
will know that today is a daycare day, and will conversely, in the afternoon,
know that at a certain time, you’ll be there to pick them up and they’ll have the
chance to continue their home routine of dinner and sleep.
Our daycare pricing options reflect the notion that dogs thrive with routine, which is
why we have heavily discounted packages available for frequent visits.
Our affordable pricing helps us to pursue our mission to make regular daycare visits
part of the routines of inner-city Brisbane pups to help them live their happiest lives.
Regular visits to doggy daycare aren’t just about fun—they’re a cornerstone of a
well-rounded routine for your beloved companion!
