Add-ons
Everything beyond the suite itself, and what it costs.
| Add-on | Charged | Rate | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| An extra play session | Per day | $12 | A second or third turn in the yard with a handler, on top of what the day already includes. |
| A one-to-one walk | Per day | $18 | Twenty minutes on the lead with one handler and no other dogs. The only thing here a nervous dog usually wants. |
| A bath before pick-up (up to 25 lb) | Per stay | $35 | Washed and dried the morning you collect, so the dog that comes home smells of nothing. |
| A bath before pick-up (26 lb and over) | Per stay | $45 | As above, and it takes two people and most of an hour. |
| Medication given as your vet directs | Per day | $4 | One charge a day whether it is one tablet or five. We give what your veterinarian has written down; we do not decide the dose and we do not change it. |
| A food puzzle at the evening feed | Per day | $6 | The evening meal in a puzzle rather than a bowl, which takes a dog about twenty minutes instead of forty seconds. |
Daycare and the ten-day package
Ten full days bought together, spent one at a time, good for twelve months. The days are yours and they do not expire on a Friday because the month ended.

|---|---|---|---|
| Small group | up to 25 lb | the front playroom and the small yard | sixteen |
| Large group | 26 lb and over | the back playroom and the long yard | twenty |
| Rate | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Full day | in by ten, out by six | $48 |
| Half day | five hours or less | $34 |
| Ten-day package | Full days, valid for twelve months | $430 |
