Dogs Unleashed Daycare

Quite impressed with the layout, staff and playtime schedule for the two times that I brought my dog here. It seems that the staff categorizes the dogs into 3 – 4 groups based on their size and personalities. While inside of the facility, you’ll notice two areas that are sectioned off for different sized dogs, as well as the outdoor area with several canopies to shield the dogs from the hot sun. I did notice several water dispensers as well.
I was also impressed with the current program that this facility runs in terms of obtaining free daycare days in the form of credits on the final bill. In keeping my dog at the facility over a long weekend, I was quite surprised by how low the final bill came out to. This was, of course, due to taking advantage of the current program that was offered to me and my wife during the first visit.
I greatly appreciated the staff taking good care of my dog by feeding him three times a day and keeping him active. Dogs Unleashed has a clockwork playtime schedule that it adheres to, and I was glad to here that my dog was currently out playing when I made a phone call to check on how he was doing with the staff & other dogs. Although I was offered for my dog to have a bath, I was quite surprised in seeing how clean he was returned despite playing in the backyard for a long duration of the weekend. It became evident to me that my dog was treated so well that he didn’t want to leave, and that spoke volumes.
Thank you, Dogs Unleashed!

I took a tour of this facility and I was so impressed! The staff was very friendly. This daycare is not like some others, that throw all the dogs into one yard or others that split into two groups. They had four or five different groups throughout the facility, based on dog sizes and then playstyles and they moved dogs who weren’t getting along to a different group. The outdoor yards were covered with canopies and water misters, which was amazing considering how hot our summers are. Everyone had waters available, small plastic playskool structures to play on, and seemed really laid back and happy. The dogs are even crated with a cookie and got naps so they have time to recharge and take a break from each other. I just moved to this area, and this dog day care is leagues above where we were previously!

I came to drop off my pup at 7:30 and she was the first one to arrive for daycare. The girl sitting at the computer stared at me blankly and seemed annoyed that someone would bring their dog in so early. The other girl, who was friendlier, took my dog and put her out back in one of the yards and came back inside. My dog is an escape artist and they had left her outside alone & unattended. Red flag #1.
I asked for a tour and saw where about 10 – 15 pups were being boarded. I asked why they weren’t out playing yet and was told that they aren’t let out until 8. Why?! They’ve been in kennels since 7 PM, if I worked there, I would rush to let them out so those poor pups could go potty!
I didn’t like what I had seen so far but I decided to give them a chance since I had to head off to work. I came to pick up my dog at about 5 pm and she was playing outside. This is summer in TX and it was about 105 that day and my dog was running around outside in the heat. On the car ride home, she was panting excessively and I was so worried she would not be able to cool down. I poured my bottle of water on her and eventually she fell asleep by the a/​c.
I suggest the owner check up on her daycare more often as the ladies running it do not seem to care much about the dogs.
