Pat,
I am starting a pet day care when I move my business. I have done lots of checking on how to run a good pet day care. Here are some of the things I think are important.
1. Are the dogs out with simular size and temperment dogs?
2. Are the dog supervised at ALL times and is that person knowledgeable on dogs knowing how to fore see trouble before it begins?
3. Is the play area fences with a HIGH fence and no holes to escape?
4. Is the play area large enough for the amount of dogs they have out at one time?
5. Is there an alternate play area in case of adverse weather conditions?
6. Does the establishment require vaccinations on all dogs?
7. Do they offer any one on one time with each dog or is it just out and play with all the dogs?
Hope this helps
