At Petite Paws, we strive to provide the best possible care for your dog in a safe, structured environment. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all pups, we have the following requirements and policies in place:
1. Small Dogs Only
We specialise in caring for small dogs. All dogs attending our daycare must be under 15kg. This helps ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.
2. Up-to-Date Vaccinations
All dogs must be fully vaccinated, including:
• Parvovirus
• Distemper
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Proof of vaccinations must be provided before your dog’s first visit.
3. Spayed or Neutered
All dogs over the age of 1 must be spayed or neutered to ensure a peaceful and balanced environment.
4. Socialisation
Dogs must be friendly, well-socialised, and comfortable with other dogs. We conduct an initial evaluation to ensure your dog is a good fit for group play.
5. Health & Wellness
Dogs should be in good health and free from contagious illnesses. If your dog is unwell or shows signs of illness, we may ask you to reschedule until they’re feeling better.
1. Booking & Attendance
• We require all dogs to be booked for the same days each week to maintain routine and consistency.
• Payment is due in advance at the beginning of each month to secure your dog’s spot.
• No half-day options are available. All daycare sessions are full-day care.
2. Pick-Up & Drop-Off Times
• We offer a doggy school bus pick up and drop off to those who are local
• Pick up and Drop off times will depend on location and place on list, we cannot grantee a time but will give you a rough timeframe.
• To enable us to collect and take dogs home we might require a key, which will be kept in a key-safe. We will arrange with you where is best to put your dog when dropping home.
• We may be able to allow some clients to drop dogs off and pick up themselves, please contact us to discuss requirements.
Late pick-ups may incur a late fee, as our staff’s time is scheduled accordingly.
3. Cancellation & Refund Policy
• We ask for 24 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session.
• As we operate on a pre-booked schedule, late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.
• We do not offer refunds for missed days or last-minute cancellations, but we can offer a credit for future sessions with proper notice.
4. Emergency Contact & Medical Information
• Please provide us with an emergency contact and any special medical needs your dog may have (e.g., allergies, medication, etc.) upon registration.
• In case of an emergency, we will contact you immediately. If necessary, we will take your dog to our designated vet for care.
5. Behaviour & Conduct
• We reserve the right to refuse service or remove a dog from daycare if they exhibit aggressive or disruptive behaviour.
• Dogs that are excessively anxious or stressed may need additional support, and we’ll work with you to ensure they’re comfortable in the daycare environment.
We’re committed to ensuring your dog has a positive and enriching experience with us. By following these requirements and policies, we can continue providing a safe, happy environment for all of our daycare guests.
