Daycare for Dogs
Dog owners are a special breed. We would be with our dogs 24/7 if we could, but unfortunately, work, travel, and commitments get in the way. Do you need dog care while you’re at work? Are you away for long hours and want to come home to a happy, fed, relaxed dog? Paoli VetCare offers dog daycare services that are more than just playtime—we offer personalized care.
Paoli VetCare has years of experience caring for our furry friends. We have a safe, comfortable, veterinarian-supervised environment where dogs are truly loved, whether it’s for a day or an extended stay.
Why Choose Dog Daycare at Paoli Vetcare?
We put your dog first. Our professional team, combined with unparalleled safety standards, open (and fenced) outdoor play areas, and individualized attention, means you can trust your dog with us, even if they have special dietary needs or medical issues.
Leaving your dog can be stressful, which is why we make your furry friend our top priority. Safety protocols, pet care certifications, climate-controlled environments, and real one-on-one time ensure that your pet isn’t just cared for, they’re loved.
What Sets Our Dog Daycare Apart
Dogs are social. For them, care is more than supervision. They need playtime, attention, regular feedings, and a safe environment. We want your dog to be comfortable, positive, and educated when they stay with us. Paoli VetCare offers well-balanced meals, regular owner updates, and safe socialization opportunities. Our dog daycare is built around structure, ensuring your pet is fed, groomed, and has nap time!
Do you want more frequent updates on your pet’s health and mood? Done. Does your pet need additional quiet time? You got it. Our facilities provide everything and anything an active dog needs, from pups to old timers. Space, supervision, and safety are all priorities at Paoli VetCare.
How to Prepare Your Dog for Daycare
A little bit of preparation can make your dog’s stay with us even better. Let’s reduce your dog’s stress and anxiety by ensuring a smoother transition from home to daycare. Here are a few practical steps to turn your shy pup into a social butterfly!
Pack Familiar Items
Does your pup have a favorite chew toy, blanket, or stuffie? Bring it with them! We want your dog to feel comfortable at their home away from home.
Stick to Their Routine
Dogs don’t like interruption, and the sense that their routine is broken can cause additional anxiety. If they have a specific routine for medication, food, playtime, and naps, let us know. We’ll make sure they’re cared for.
Vaccinations Required
There are certain vaccinations your dog needs before they can join doggy daycare, including the DAPP (a.k.a. DHPP) Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, Leptospirosis Vaccine, Bordetella (Sometimes Called Canine Kennel Cough) Vaccine, and Canine Influenza Virus (Dog Flu) Vaccine. They also should be on parasite prevention medications.
Benefits of Dog Daycare at Paoli Vetcare
What makes Paoli VetCare different? We are more than just a doggy daycare. Our doggy daycare benefits include certified veterinarian supervision, personalized care, and a stress-free experience delivered through trained staff who truly care about your dog.
Improve Socialization With Other Dogs
At doggy daycare, your dog will meet many different dogs and people and learn how to make lots of friends. Walks and trips to the dog park are stress-free with a well-socialized dog.
Avoid Separation Anxiety
At doggy daycare, they’ll stay on a schedule and socialize with other dogs and humans, distracting them from the fact that you’re away.
Maintain a Fun Routine for Your Dog
Dogs need regularly spaced daily walks, feeding times, and structured playtime to continue being the spritely, well-behaved hound that you know and love. It also gives them something to look forward to each day and lets them know that they’re safe. Keeping your pet in dog daycare rather than hiring a sitter or dog walker to come in at odd hours will keep them happy and healthy.
Increase Daily Exercise by Playing With Kennel Staff
At daycare, they’ll run around in playrooms inside, outside, and with other dogs, so you’ll have a tired and happy pup when they come home.

MEET THE KENNEL MANAGER
We are thrilled to introduce Ed Bradley, Paoli Vetcare’s Kennel Manager. Ed is one of the first people in the country to become a Fear Free® Certified Boarding and Daycare Professional!!
Ed started with us as a kennel technician, but through consistent hard work and dedication, he quickly rose to a leadership position.

Ed’s love for animals began as a child watching the awe-inspiring documentary series Planet Earth. He enjoys environmental sciences, but working at Paoli Vetcare confirmed his deep appreciation and love for animals of all sorts.
As Kennel Manager, Ed oversees the kennel technician crew. Kennel staff spend plenty of time playing with the pets, but they also serve a crucial role in keeping the kennels and hospital clean and organized for all of our staff, clients, and patients.


When he’s not at work, he enjoys being in nature and partaking in sports with friends. Ed is a wonderful addition to our Paoli Vetcare family, and we are all very grateful for his role within the hospital.

What Our Customers Say
I feel so incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing vet. My pup suffers from anxiety & Dr. Dawn has helped us immensely with finding what works for her. The girls at the front desk are knowledgeable, accommodating, & helpful. My dog absolutely adores going to daycare here & the staff that runs it clearly love their jobs. I would highly recommend Paoli Vetcare!
I can’t recommend Paoli Vetcare highly enough! I have been using them for many years with our cat & then with our dachshund, Minnow. Our new dachshund, Waldi, loves the place & can’t wait to get in the door & be greeted by the staff. I use their daycare service regularly & Waldi has developed many human & canine friendships. The staff all know him (and me) by name!! I feel totally comfortable leaving Waldi for daycare or boarding him for a few days.
Benji has been a patient at Paoli VetCare for 6 years now. From the very beginning they have been nothing but wonderful, caring and professional. I love the “hometown” feeling of this wonderful place. From the front desk staff to the docs it feels like home to us.
