(Revised April 2023)
Welcome to Northwood Animal Hospital's Doggie Day Camp Program!
Doggie Day Camp "DDC"; is a great way for your pet to get plenty of exercise and socialization to give you a happy and tired pup when you get home. Our Dog Pet Parents no longer need to worry that their dog is lonely or unattended at home while they are at work or away. DDC allows us to take care of your pet in a safe manner by performing a thorough evaluation(s) to determine their personality and play style. Once they have been accepted into our program and we've had ample amount of time to get to know them, they will then be sorted into one of several play groups/yards that best fit their personality.
Hours of Operation*
Owners can drop off and pick their pups at their convenience. Doggie Day Camp hours are:
Monday – Friday: 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM (EST)
