5 Benefits of Dog Daycare
1. Dog Daycare is great for dogs who have a lot of energy and need to burn it off. 2. Dog Daycare is very healthy! They are very social and are pack animals and dog daycare is a way to have them play in a supervised and safe area. It causes less stress. 3. Dog Daycare is great for mental stimulation.

New surroundings with obstacles and toys for them to interact with is also very important for mental stimulation and growth. Certainly not the least, dogs are pack animals and the facility we have at Blue Dog Boarding and Daycare Rockville lends itself perfectly for pack environment. If a dog always stays at home they never get much opportunity to learn and explore new environments; all they experience is what is in the house and whoever happens to visit the home. Their social skills are not refreshed and under utilized, therefore they begin to regress […]
