Dog Daycare benefits both the dog and the owner

Dog Daycare benefits both the dog and you the owner, the benefit for the owner is that while your doing human stuff your furry child is having a great time doing dog stuff. No more guilt when you pick up your keys and have to watch their excitement turn to disappointment as you walk out the door and go to work. It benefits the dog in that instead of sitting at home alone waiting for you, they are playing, being socialized, and having a great time. After a fun day of playing you pick up a calm and relaxed pet.

Woof! Playcare is pleased to offer dog daycare, which is an excellent opportunity for you to meet your dogs’ needs for socialization and exercise (both mental and physical), in addition to group classes and private consultations 

Woof! Playcare staff are experienced handlers who encourage socialization and play for a ?dogs? dog?, or provide compassionate companionship for the more human-oriented dog. Woof! Playcare provides a loving environment for your dog in our unique facility – ample space in which to romp or rest with natural light, fresh air and friendly faces. Once a dog is well established in a regular dog daycare, owners will notice that their puppies and dogs develop favorite playmates and special friendships. Human friendships develop from dog daycare as well. Many of our clients make special arrangements in order for their dog?s special friends to come and play on the same days.

The professional dog lovers at Woof! Playcare are committed to providing the utmost in care and professionalism. Our business is taking care of your pet and we are pleased to offer a variety of services we are sure you will love. Our philosophy is simple: When you leave a dog with us, you’re leaving a child–and that’s a responsibility we take very seriously.

The difference between doggy daycares and dog parks is a controlled environment. Here at Woof! Playcare, the staff assumes the position of "alpha." The dogs in daycare quickly learn to recognize staff members as the leaders of the pack. We, as staff, are able to formulate the best playgroups, match dogs of similar sizes, similar play styles, etc. Staff also step in to help puppies appropriately interact with his/her adult peers. In addition, we help dogs understand when another dog is not in the mood to play, redirecting their attention and/or matching them with other equally playful dogs. Staff has the luxury of selecting only those dogs suited for doggy daycare.

Lastly, we keep all food out of the communal areas to curtail food aggression among the dogs. Woof! Playcare is a perfect place for dogs to get socialized, exercised and spoiled in a fun, safe friendly environment.   We let dogs act like dogs!!

Woof Play Care Dog Grooming

At Woof Play Care we believe bathing and grooming are essential to a healthy pet. Woof! is proud to be home to expert groomers Jennifer Vanderwarker and Pat Stoner! They’ll have your dog looking – and smelling – like a supermodel!

From shampoos, hair cuts and flea treatments – to exotic styling, pedicures, skin care, and moisturizing treatments, your pampered pet will go home looking great as well as feeling great! All of our dog grooming services are available by daily appointment, or can be scheduled with boarding.

Grooming is an important part of your dog’s health, with regular brushing and combing helping to remove dead hair and dirt and prevent matting. Dogs who are regularly groomed tend to have a healthier and shinier coat because it stimulates the blood supply to the skin.

Animals with long hair or hair that is non-shedding can get matted coats. “These mats not only are unsightly, they become unhygienic areas that can harbor bacteria. They form very tight constricting bundles of fur that will even cut off circulation,”

Grooming your dog can also be a good way to bond with your dog, and it’s important to get him used to it from an early age. Many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate petting, another source of affection and attention. A good quality brush and comb will help you with your dog’s coat, but also remember that your dog’s eyes, ears, and nails require attention as well.

Always bear in mind that our dog groomers are pleasant, professional, and caring — keeping you and your pet happy will always be their top priority!

Woof! has a full service beauty salon for dogs. We take time to meet with every client to be sure we understand exactly what look you want for your dog. Our pricing varies depending on breed, please call for details 321-255-9663

Should You Have Pet safety and CPR Training

If you’re concerned about your pet, you should never feel embarrassed about calling a veterinarian.

Veterinarians are used to emergencies and they prepare for them. Most veterinary hospitals have doctors on-call or provide referrals to emergency pet hospitals, so don’t worry about waking your veterinarian out of a sound sleep.

Emergencies happen every day. Being prepared can greatly increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.

As reported on MSNBC, most pet owners would leap into action for an injured pet, even if it meant risking dog breath by going mouth-to-snout.In fact a new poll says women are more likely to give pets CPR than men

Fifty-eight percent of pet owners — 63 percent of dog owners and 53 percent of cat owners — would be at least somewhat likely to perform CPR on their pet in the event of a medical emergency, according to an Associated Press-Petside.com poll.

Tammy Parks, 52, of Amherst, Massachusetts, has taken a pet first-aid class and wouldn’t hesitate to help her 15-year-old mixed breed terriers, Lucy and Julia, or her white fronted Amazon parrot Koko.

“It’s not rocket science. The mechanics are the same as humans,” said Parks, who was an American Red Cross first-aid trainer. “Size is the biggest difference.”

In general, though, the poll found few pet owners are prepared to handle pet emergencies. Just 20 percent of pet owners have a pet first-aid kit in their home, and 54 percent do not have a fire evacuation plan for their pets.

Still, most pet owners said they would go the extra mile to rescue their pets. Women were more likely to say they would perform CPR on their pets than men, 65 percent to 50 percent, the poll showed.

Nearly every decision made at the Parks house is made with the safety of the animals in mind.

“We don’t use pesticide on the lawn. We don’t buy food with pesticide on it. No sugar, no salt, just natural nuts and fruits. No Teflon in the house, no smoking, no air fresheners, no aerosol products,” she said, explaining that any one of those things could kill their 7-year-old bird.

Barbara Klingman of Houma, Louisiana, said she changed things after her Chihuahua, Honeychild, ate something that forced an emergency trip to the vet.

“I make sure she doesn’t have anything she shouldn’t have,” Klingman said of the 7-pound, 4-year-old dog.

Pet safety and CPR training is offered by the American Red Cross and many private companies. “Vets are the experts but they are rarely on scene when something happens to our pets,” said Denise Fleck, who runs

Sunny-Dog Ink in Burbank and has written pet safety textbooks, appeared on a number of TV shows and taught classes throughout Southern California.

Disaster plans are important, too, especially in areas like Southern California that are at the mercy of earthquakes and fires.

“If people value their pets like a family member, they should know how to do CPR, just like they would for their kids. In disasters, pets get hurt and run into debris and all kinds of things,” said Mark Solnick, director of emergency preparedness and response for the Red Cross Santa Monica.

The AP-Petside.com poll was conducted Oct. 1 to 5, 2009, by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media. It involved telephone interviews on landline and cell phones with 1,166 pet owners nationwide, and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points for all pet owners.
