Why Clear Island Waters dogs end up here

Clear Island Waters is settled residential: wide streets, larger blocks, a lot of them on the water. The dogs here are typically Retrievers, Labradors and the doodle crosses, which is to say big, soft, sociable and prone to being under-socialised simply because the streets are so quiet. They get plenty of walking but don't meet many other dogs.

The coat side matters here too. Council says the Robina Lakes, Clear Island Waters included, aren't a designated swimming area, and its blue-green algae advice is to keep pets out of affected water, so we wouldn't encourage regular swims. A dog that does get wet, with a double or curly coat, mats faster than owners expect, under the surface where a quick brush misses it. A wash and blow dry can be added to a full daycare day.

Matched groups are the whole point for these dogs, so they play with others their size and speed. The rest of the day is laid out on our doggy daycare page. A trial day comes first, and for a big soft Lab who has mostly met other dogs through a fence, it tells us a lot.

Questions from Clear Island Waters dog owners

How long does the drive take from Clear Island Waters?

Ten to fifteen minutes south-east, via Bermuda Street and Christine Avenue.

My dog keeps getting in the water. Can I add a wash to daycare days?

Yes, a wash and blow dry can be added to a full day of daycare. We wouldn't encourage lake swims, though: council says the Robina Lakes aren't a designated swimming area, and its blue-green algae advice is to keep pets out of affected water. Water left sitting in a double or curly coat is a common cause of matting behind the ears and under the legs.
