Less pet-parent guilt, more tail wagging
If your pup spends too many hours home alone, daycare at Dorr Veterinary Clinic in Dorr, MI gives them a place to play, burn off energy, and get the attention they crave. It is a complete school experience, not just recess, with exercise for the body and enrichment for the mind.
Request an AppointmentExercise, enrichment, and social time under close supervision
Does your dog need more interaction? Our daycare lets your pup play with other dogs and spend the day with our daycare monitors and team. We exercise your pet’s mind as much as their body, so along with the physical activity they need, they enjoy mental stimulation through crafts, games, and enrichment activities.
We limit daycare to fewer than 20 dogs each day. Smaller groups encourage more intentional interactions and allow for closer supervision.
A group setting is also a chance for dogs to polish their social skills. They can release pent-up energy and get the stimulation they need. Time in a structured, engaging environment can help improve many disruptive behaviors and anxious tendencies. If you are also looking for overnight care, learn more about our pet boarding options.

A daily routine built around your dog
The daycare routine gives your dog plenty of play time, free access to water, and access to the pup potty area. Dogs also get rest or alone time when their behavior shows they need it.
Meanwhile, you can spend your day guilt free. Daycare can help relieve your pet’s anxiety or destructive habits, address separation anxiety, and aid in shedding some extra unwanted pounds.
There is a special play group for all ages and kinds of dogs here.
