Overnight Boarding and Dog Daycare in Kamloops
Carlson Hills Dog Kennel is a family-run business that loves dogs!! Let us exercise your dog while you are at work, on vacation or playing a round of golf, giving them the activity, mental stimulation, care and socialization they deserve. Our medium and large dogs are outside the majority of the day depending on the weather and their individual needs. Our small dogs spend lots of time outside too but they also get the pleasure hanging out more with us inside and we often give them free range while we clean or complete office tasks. Our daycare groups are always kept small and customized to suit our guest's needs.
Each room is individually climate-controlled to keep our guests comfortable, and not only do we live on-site, but we also have security cameras all over our property and inside our facility to ensure the top security of your fur babies. We also have an indoor training/playroom for those extreme weather days.

Signs That a Dog is Comfortable with a Dog Daycare
Knowing if a dog going to daycare is comfortable and happy becomes extremely important to ensure good overall health. Some of the signs that suggest a dog is comfortable at a daycare are:-
Excitement upon arrival
If you notice that the dog is visibly excited and happy when you arrive at the daycare, it is a strong sign that they are comfortable being there. Wagging tails, barking happily, or pulling towards the entrance are some of the common signs.
Calm body language
A dog that feels comfortable will have a relaxed body language like soft eyes, a wiggly body and other signs. They won’t show signs of loneliness or anxiety.
Positive social interaction
If a dog interacts with others and engages in playing with other dogs or people, it indicates that they are having a comfortable experience. Moreover, they don’t shy away from interactions, which means they enjoy their time.
Calm behaviour during drop-off
If your dog calmly and willingly goes with the daycare staff or walks into the facility without hesitation, it suggests they’re comfortable with the environment and the people there.
Regular eating and sleeping habits
Dogs are comfortable if they have regular sleeping and eating routines and habits. Not eating properly or getting insufficient sleep indicates being exhausted or anxious.
For your dog’s comfortable stay at a dog daycare in Kamloops, choose Carlson Hills Dog Kennel as your dog’s vacation home.
Things to Consider While Choosing a Dog Daycare
While choosing a dog daycare, it is essential to choose a place that meets all your dog’s specific requirements. Ensure your daycare is clean, hygienic, well-maintained and safe for your furry friend. Check if the daycare follows strict health guidelines to ensure your dog’s well-being.
Before choosing a dog daycare, see if the staff and the team are trained, well-educated and able to handle emergency procedures. They must be able to handle different breeds and supervise them. Moreover, it is important to know the size of the facility, which has ample space for dogs to play and move around freely.
