Dog - Daycare!

In Canada, dogs go to school so they don’t have to be home alone during long work days. Some dogs start their mornings the same way schoolkids do. A van pulls up, the door opens, and off they go for the day. Dog-daycare transport services now run in places like Calgary, Toronto, and Kitchener-Waterloo. Companies such as Ruff and Puff and PawTrips send small buses directly to owners’ homes, where dogs hop aboard with enthusiasm. The structure mirrors a school routine with morning pickup, full-day care, play sessions, rest periods, and afternoon drop-off. Once dogs arrive at the daycare facility, the day unfolds with group play, supervised socialization, enrichment games, and outdoor walks. For dogs prone to boredom, separation anxiety, or pent-up energy, a day surrounded by other dogs can make a notable difference.
