A half day in the life
Calm welcome and integration into the right group.
Outdoor play, structured games, social time.
Mid-visit rest period built in.
Calmer second session, then handover.
Before your first half day. Trial day required first (the trial is a full day, half-day visits start after that). Vaccinations must be current (C5 or equivalent), plus flea and tick prevention. Bring a copy of vaccinations to the trial.
When a half day works better than a full day
Three situations where half day is the better pick:
- Shorter workdays. If you're only out 4 to 5 hours, a full day is more than your dog needs.
- Dogs still building stamina. Puppies, seniors and shy dogs often do better with shorter visits at first, working up to full days as they settle.
- Half-day errand runs. When you need solid hours to get things done and your dog needs more than a backyard.
If your dog is going to be at home alone for 8 hours regardless, a full day at daycare is usually better than splitting it.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a half day?
Four hours. You can drop off any time during our open hours and pick up four hours later, as long as pickup is by 4pm.
Do I still need a trial day?
Yes, and the trial is run as a full day so we can properly assess your dog. After the trial, half-day visits are an option.
Is the rate per visit or per dog?
Per visit, per dog. We don't run sliding scales for second dogs.
Can I extend a half day to a full day on the day?
Sometimes, depending on availability and your dog's energy. Call ahead if you might need to extend so we can plan.
Will my puppy be OK in a half day?
Yes, often better than a full day at first. Shorter visits build positive associations without overstimulating.
Can I add a wash or groom?
Yes. Tell us at booking and we'll coordinate so it happens during the visit.
Are there packages for half days?
Our daycare packages are typically valued against full-day rates. Talk to us about how they work for half-day bookings.
