They accept cats, dogs and any "pocket pets" such as hamsters and gerbils. Some of the Kennels also offer extras like walking, cuddles and even an ice cream break for an additional charge! For 2$ the disney staff will cater to any medication needs your pet may have and all facilities offer overnight stays as well.

Pet Care Services Directory

Why is Doggie Daycare so important? You could always just leave them alone in the house right? Tied up somewhere in the backyard? With a friend?

These are all good (cheap) solutions, but what's easy might not be what's best for your pet. Daycare is important for the same reasons children's daycare is. It teaches your pet important social skills, which is especially important during early years. Plus, your pet's individual needs can be better met by professionals. Hyper dogs will have an outlet to let out all their energy, instead of having it all pent up only to be released when they see you at the end of your long work day.
