K9 Casa South San Jose Doggie Daycare: Independent Doggy Day Care Cageless Boarding, since 1998 Formerly Camp Bow Wow Santa Teresa Avenue San Jose

Here are just a few reasons why our Doggie Daycare might be the answer you and your dogs have been dreaming of:

* Your pups will get exercise, exercise and more exercise
* You deserve a worry free day
* There’ll be no more “surprises” when you get home
* Dogs are social and need companions
* Your pets will come home “dog tired”
* It’s fun!

Your dogs will spend the day playing and relaxing in our beautiful local facility. We offer plenty of thickly padded floorspace, which helps prevent joint pain and arthritis problems in both younger pups and our older friends.

Your dogs’ well being is of our primary concern, and we believe all pets deserve a little luxury in their lives. Your dogs will be safe with us. Our clients are pampered and supervised at all times, and are never out of sight of our counselors. We allow a maximum of only twenty dogs per day, which means you can be certain that your pets will get personalized care.

Each and every time your dogs come in to K9 Casa, they’re greeted by friendly and familiar faces. We make it a priority to learn as much as we can about the individual likes and dislikes of every dog we see.

If you’re still unconvinced, come by and visit our climate controlled (at a constant 70 degrees) facility. We’re sure you’ll be impressed.

Whether you’re going on a vacation, traveling on business trip, or merely in need of a quiet weekend away, we provide the solution you need.

Our Requirements:
For your protection, all clients are screened prior to acceptance. Your dog must be at least 5 months of age, current on all shots, and spayed or neutered. Call today for your free evaluation.

Our hours of operation are 7 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Friday. We offer weekend care by appointment only.

PHYSICAL LOGISTICS

• What is the general layout of the facility? Is it Indoor/Outdoor?
• How clean is the facility?
• Can you observe all the areas in which your dog will be playing?
• What are the safety barriers to prevent accidental escapes?
• How large is the area in which the dogs will play; are there selected areas for animals of varying size, and for “time-outs” or nap time?
• On what sort of surface will the dogs play? Is there “give” or cushion to the surface?
• Does the DDC have a city permit to operate an animal facility?
• Is there a separate potty area, and if so, how often is it cleaned?
• What sorts of toys are provided, and how often are they cleaned?

COMFORT FEATURES

• What steps, if any, are taken to prevent barking? (Nuisance barking is probably the #1 complaint about dogs.)
• What are the criteria for allowing an animal to participate in the DDC? (I.E Temperaments tests, proof of up-to-date vaccinations, flea/tick control)
• Are unaltered animals allowed in the DDC?
• How is fresh water provided?
• How many employees are at the DDC? It is not possible for a large staff to get to know your dog and its habits, and vice versa.
• What is the motivation of the employees? Are they dog owners?
• How closely are the dogs monitored?
• Is there an odor when you walk in? (Doggie smells are ok but not other odors)

HUMAN EMOTIONS

Is the facility truly functional for the dogs, or it is more geared to be “eye candy” for the owners? Canine needs and human needs differ. Much marketing is aimed towards what we think the humans will respond to, rather than what the dog really requires.

What is the ratio of human interaction to dog interaction your animal will experience during the day?

Just imagine: at Chateau Bow Wow, we have no kennel runs or chainlink fences; instead, we offer constant, caring companionship. Our guests are never left unattended. From the minute they walk through the front door until the moment they leave, they’re under constant supervision. We do ask that our clients be crate trained for night-time sleeping. This way, they’re able to nap the night away in our very own bedrooms.

Just imagine: you can enjoy any trip, knowing your dog is in good hands. After all, we both know that your pet deserves the best.
Requirements:

• Pick-ups are seven days a week. Sorry but weekend dropoffs are not allowed.
• All dogs must spend at least one day at K9 Casa prior to making slumber party arrangements.
• We charge a mere $40 per night, a cost that includes the daycare rate.
• Slumber parties are offered to small (cocker spaniel size and smaller) due to space limitations.
