Looking for a place to give your pup the love, care, and attention they deserve during the day when you can’t be with them or are having a busy day? Look no further than Dogtopia of Eau Claire. Our professional dog-loving team will treat your pup to fun-filled days of safe socialization with other dogs and humans. They’ll get plenty of exercise, as well as basic education through mind-stimulating brain games and training activities to help improve behavior in and outside your home.
We offer full-day daycare and weekly wellness plans to maximize the benefits of daycare.
DOG DAYCARE FACILITY IN WISCONSIN
Our 7,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility boasts four spacious playrooms, including an outdoor play area. Each playroom comes fully equipped with non-slip rubberized flooring that is designed to be gentle on your pup’s paws and joints during play. Our flooring is also anti-bacterial and easy to clean.
Our indoor facility is climate-controlled thanks to our advanced HVAC systems, so your pup can enjoy comfortable 70-degree days all year round, no matter what the Wisconsin weather brings! UV filters constantly circulate fresh air, and there is a far reduced risk of illness from bugs, critters, and parasites compared to outdoor play. Our facility is cleaned and sanitized at least twice daily with pet-safe cleaning products, which aligns with the guidelines established by Dogtopia’s very own Environmental Biologist and Veterinary Scientist.
WHY CHOOSE DOGTOPIA OF EAU CLAIRE?
We strive to create a safe environment where your pup can experience valuable socialization, education and exercise. Our pups are sorted into our supervised playrooms based on size, personality, and play style to help ensure all dogs are safe and comfortable. As your pup gets older, matures, and develops, they may switch to a playroom that better matches their confidence and play preferences.
Exercise in our playrooms is not only fun and exciting, but it also comes with numerous benefits for your pup, including:
- Becoming more comfortable around other dogs and people
- Learning positive behaviour, which can lead to less doggie mischief at home
- Keeping active and physically fit
- Finding their BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever)
- Greater cardiovascular health and weight management
- More steps in their day (Dogtopia dogs average up to 60,000 steps compared to 8,00 from pups at home)
Socialization through training is a significant benefit of Dogtopia of Eau Claire’s daycare. Rather than simply keeping dogs together in a playroom, we incorporate proper socialization training techniques for pups to benefit from. Our Canine Coaches are experienced in working with large groups of dogs and have the necessary skills to help pups learn how to effectively communicate with one another, which is reinforced through praise and positive reinforcement. Thanks to the ongoing feedback and training from our Coaches, your furry family member can become better behaved and approach new situations with confidence.
Every team member at our facility has completed rigorous training on dog body language and behavior, which has been designed by a Canine Behaviorist. Their extensive four-part training process equips them with tools to pick up on doggy body language and can “read the room” to tell which pups need a break or help meeting new friends. Our team knows how to recognize even the most subtle cues and can handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments.
Best of all, we will even send your dog home with periodic report cards to keep you aware of their behaviour, who their friends are, and how well they interact with the team and other dogs.
We have several health and safety requirements that help Dogtopia stand out as a top doggy daycare facility. All dogs in our care must be:
- At least 12 weeks old
- Spayed/neutered if seven months and older
- Up-to-date vaccination record, including Rabies, Bordetella, and DHLPP/DHPP (also known as “distemper/parvo”). We will inform you whether the Canine influenza is a requirement prior to daycare
- Free of any communicable illness for the past 30 days and any conditions that could spread to others (i.e., fleas, ticks, etc.)
- Non-aggressive or food- and toy-protective
WEBCAMS
Missing your furry family member? Check in on them throughout the day with our live webcams that can easily be accessed using your computer or smartphone via our website or free mobile app. It’s a great way to see all the tail-wagging fun pups have and offer you a “fly on the wall” perspective to see how your dog acts when you’re not with them. Our HD livestreams are available during playtime hours with a break between 12-2 p.m., so pups can enjoy lunch and naptime in their home-style crate while our team deep cleans the playrooms.
DAYCARE EVENTS & ACTIVITIES AT DOGTOPIA OF EAU CLAIRE
Our events and frequently updated social media channels set us apart from our competitors. Every month, a new event calendar is created for pups and pet parents to enjoy. From themed photoshoots to special treat days to movie nights for our boarding guests, we want to treat our dogs to The Most Exciting Day Ever!
During daycare, pups can participate in occasional arts and crafts, indoor obstacle courses, playroom bubble parties with flavored bubbles, themed photoshoots with backdrops and props, and more. We also have a bark bar where we serve healthy, dog-friendly treats like protein bowls, fruit parfaits, and pupsicles!
We start the day with our morning crowd, who wake up ready to expend their energy with their furry friends. We break for lunch and chill time at noon so pups can recharge their playtime batteries. By 2 p.m., they’re back at it and ready to play, learn, exercise, and socialize until it’s time to head home. By then, your furry family member will be ready to drift off to dreamland thanks to a full day of fun.
While your pup enjoys daycare, why not add some pampering into the mix? We offer spa treatments ranging from baths to ear cleaning and more. Our expert team knows how to interact with all dog breeds, sizes, and comfort levels and strives to provide a relaxing experience. We also offer grooming services—Katy, our groomer, can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them look and feel like a million bones!
BOOK YOUR DOG’S DAYCARE VISIT NOW
To ensure the safety of all our daycare dogs, we require you to bring your pup in for a Meet & Greet before their first visit. This will give our team the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and select the playroom best suited for them. We start this assessment with a health history overview and nose-to-tail assessment to make sure your pup is feeling their best and make note of any touch sensitivities they may have. From there, we will set up a mini play space with like-minded dogs to observe how your dog responds to others. We’ll also test their comfort in our home-style crates, which we use for midday naps. By the end of the day, our team will inform you whether your pup is a good fit for daycare. If so, they can start right away!
We are conveniently located on the way to Pine Meadow Golf Course, the Fairfax Baseball Field, Chaos Water Park, Oakwood Mall, and more. Our facility offers parking out front, making drop-off and pick-up a breeze (it also means a shorter distance for your pup to excitedly run to the door). Contact our knowledgeable team today to determine a schedule and daycare package that works best for you.
To find out more about our daycare services or to book your pup’s Meet & Greet, please call (715) 861-6303 or fill out our contact form. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog!
