lucy neosho, MO 1/30/2009 6:17:34 PM I have a doggie daycare, where do watch dogs or puppies for weeks at a time. I have 11 dogs my self ranging from yorkie to great danes. I watch them in my own home, where they can come and go where ever they want in the home. My home is spotless and the dogs have their own room where they sleep. I started this business because my friends needed this service and their friends and so on. I treat their dogs like mine. By the time they leave, they are comfortable in home, when they come back they beat their owners up the steps.
Sue 3 Oaks, MI 9/5/2008 7:50:30 PM I found that boarding my dog is sometimes a necessity. What really helps him is being let outside to play with other dogs several times a day. I always bring my own food, & have found if I feed him the special vet diet for sensitive stomachs he doesn't get loose stools while boarding. I also think it helps to bring him there once in awhile when I don't absolutely have to so he can be used to it since I don't board him often..then he finds it more enjoyable than stressful.
