FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before Your Dog's First Visit
What vaccinations are required?
All dogs must have current Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper/DAPP vaccinations. Rabies must be provided as an official rabies certificate. Vaccination records must be uploaded through our online registration form before your dog's Trial Play Day.
What is a Trial Play Day?
A Trial Play Day is your dog's first visit to The Paws Gurus. It gives your dog time to become familiar with our team, our environment, and the other dogs while we evaluate whether our communal daycare is a good fit.
Why is a Trial Play Day required?
Because all dogs interact in a fully supervised communal environment, every new dog must complete a Trial Play Day before joining daycare or overnight boarding. This helps us provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog.
Can my dog book services without a Trial Play Day?
No. Every new dog must first complete and pass a weekday Trial Play Day before booking daycare or overnight boarding hotel.
Do you accept dogs of all sizes?
Yes. We welcome dogs of all sizes. Acceptance is based on temperament and compatibility with our daycare environment—not size.
What time can I drop off my dog for the Trial Play Day?
Trial Play Days are available on weekdays only. Drop-off is between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Can I stay with my dog during the Trial Play Day?
No. Dogs typically adjust more quickly and confidently when they enter the daycare environment independently.
How long is the Trial Play Day?
The evaluation lasts approximately five hours. If your dog stays longer than five hours, the visit is charged as a full daycare day.
How will I know if my dog passes the Trial Play Day?
We will contact you after your dog's evaluation to let you know the results and discuss the next steps.
What happens if my dog is not a good fit?
If we determine that our communal environment is not the right fit for your dog, we will discuss our observations with you. Our priority is the safety and well-being of all dogs in our care.
