Why People Use Doggie Daycare

When I first told my friends a few years ago why I took my dog to doggie daycare at Wag Atlanta, they asked me, "why would you take your dog to daycare?!" Without Wag Atlanta, owning my pup would much more difficult, and less rewarding.

My dog is VERY energetic, which I love! I chose him because I was looking for a high energy dog that I could hike, run, kayak with etc. And i do these things with often! His high energy means he can keep up with all the things I love to do.

Unfortunately, I don't get to do all those fun things all the time. When I'm at work, it's not fair to leave Rudy home in his kennel or bored around the house when he wants to use his energy to run and play. That's the main reason I used Doggie daycare! I own a breed that requires a lot of exercise, and i'm not always able to keep up with him!

I chose Wag Atlanta because their daycare hours are 6a-10p, which is longer than any daycare I could find in Atlanta. More often than not i and not able to get out of the office at 5pm sharp, and not having to worry about picking Rudy up, and knowing he's getting cared for lets me focus on my work.

Another reason I use doggie daycare is because I know how much Rudy enjoys it. He loves being able to play with his friends (and I love seeing the photos on FaceBook). I know that it's good for him to get socialization, even though he's not a puppy anymore. Whenever we're a block away he perks up, tail starts wagging, and he gets ready to run into play group and see all his friends.

So when my friends ask why I use doggie daycare, for me the answer is simple.

Because it makes life so much more enjoyable and easy for both me and Rudy!
