In order to come to these ratings, we utilized member input, associate knowledge and scientific articles. We came up with five key areas under each category that helped us determine how much more effective daycare is than dog walking at keeping your dog happy, healthy, and well-mannered in a safe environment.

What makes a dog happy?

  1. The opportunity to have fun!
  2. Time with other dogs (they are pack animals)
  3. Constant access to activity of varying levels
  4. Freedom to choose their activity
  5. Controlled environment for less stress

What makes a dog healthy?

    • 550 kcals/day burned in daycare
    • 100-300 kcals/day burned staying home with walks only
  2. How many steps are they taking daily?
    • 30k+ steps/day in daycare
    • 4k steps/day staying home with walks only
  3. Are you keeping their brain active to lower the risk of dog dementia?
