Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes The Muttropolitan DIFFERENT from other dog daycares?

A: The Muttropolitan is set up to take dogs that won't work in other daycares. We do have shared daycare in small groups but we also have private suites for dogs who need human supervision but not dog interaction.

Q: What if my dog is scared?

A: As long as your dog is not overly aggressive, we will take the time to win them over and become their friends. They will be secure in the meantime so we can keep them safe from their environment and themselves.

Q: How do you decide if our dog can stay with you?

A: We do have an application and we do an interview with you and your pup/s to make sure we are all a good fit!

Q: What if my dog wants to play and be crazy with other dogs?

A: We will likely refer you to another daycare that is more appropriate for your dog. We would LOVE to welcome ALL dogs but our daycare is specifically for those dogs that won't work in an ordinary daycare and space is pretty limited.

Q: What if my dog is elderly and doesn't get around well?

A: Dogs like yours is what inspired us! 

Q: What if my dog needs medication during the day?

A: We can do that!

Q: What are your health requirements for our dogs to attend your daycare?

A: We do have to meet the state requirements for vaccines (i.e. rabies et al) but we can discuss your dogs specific needs and make recommendations based on that and try to accommodate you. 

We also require current fecal tests and must be on a flea preventative!
