Play Care

Just like us homo sapiens (humans), our canis lupus familiaris (dog) kids and companions often do better by expressing energy and interacting with others.  But life gives you a schedule and things to do, so you can't be home with them every day all day.  When you're away, the available research indicates that separation anxiety can be especially pronounced in dogs and could develop into troubling behavior issues that leave dog parents rightly concerned.  It can also be quite costly in terms of damage to your household, disrupted schedules, even vet appointments and medications as many dog parents turn to veterinarians for help with dog behavior modification.  Not surprisingly, a significant number of annual vet visits in the United States are related to problematic dog behavior.  If we left our human kids at home alone all day, what would we expect their behavior to be when we returned?

Let us help with the very real problem of separation anxiety in your dog.  Bring your dog to The Doggie Depot for a full day of play!  They'll get much needed exercise and socialization in our huge play yard, all in a clean, safe, caring environment.  No reservation required!  Call us at 217.234.1226!  All dogs must be screened and have a complete vaccination record prior to their first play care visit.
