Daycare FAQs

What are the benefits of Collar Club Dog Daycare?

Daycare is an important activity and can benefit your dog in many ways. It is a safe environment where your dog can exercise, socialize with other dogs, and gain confidence.

Do I need a reservation for Collar Club daycare?

We highly recommend making a reservation, it is the only way to 100% reserve your spot. However, you are more than welcome to walk in without a reservation and see if we have any availability. If you decide to drop-off without a reservation, please make sure we have up-to-date vaccination records on file.

I don't see my dog on camera, why is that?

We take great pride in offering a safe environment for all the dogs in the Collar Club family. Each dog is temperament tested before playing in daycare, but that doesn't guarantee disagreements or scuffles won't happen occasionally. Our staff are trained to read dog body language in order to safely manage our dayplay areas. Our staff may see a dog getting a little over-stimulated and determine they may need a short break. After the short break they return back to daycare to have more fun!

How do I access the cameras to watch my dog at Collar Club daycare?

Click the "Webcams" button or click "Make Your Reservation" on our website, then sign in to your customer profile. If you are on a mobile device, select the menu button (the 3 horizontal lines/hamburger menu), look for photo/video, select live webcams and pick which webcam you would like to view! Cameras are only available while your pup is checked in for daycare.

Does my dog need to be spayed/neutered to participate in Collar Club Daycare?

For the safety of all the dogs in the Collar Club Family, we do not allow dogs that are not spayed or neutered to play in daycare. However, our Waldo, KC location offers a daystay option where your dog can be loved on and pampered throughout the day.

Are there vaccinations required for my dog to play at the Collar Club?

We require rabies, DHPP, and bordetella (frequency per Veterinary requirement) for all services. We also accept titer testing if done by a licensed veterinarian.

I am not able to drop off and pickup during your normal business hours, what options do you have?

Not a problem at all! The Collar Club offers late pickup and early drop off for your convenience. Give us a call and we can give you more information on our 24/7 pickup and drop-off service.
