Fur Mum Doggy Daycare Service

Some days you just don't have the time to give your pup the attention he needs and deserves.  For those days, there is Fur Mum Doggy Daycare.  We take all the stress out of the situation by offering easy drop-off and pick-up or door-to-door service.  You will come home with a happy, exhausted pup and you can spend your evening relaxing with a cuddle rather than dragging yourself out to the dog park. 

Our dog daycare specialises in small to medium sized dogs.  Large or boisterous dogs don't always play well with the little ones, so they will be referred to one of the other excellent doggy daycare services in Townsville.  This ensures the smaller dogs are comfortable to run around and wrestle in comfort with their peers. 

Our facility on Mather Street offers a range of different play areas, where your pup will be placed in a group with dogs that have similar energy and play-styles. We have several air-conditioned areas where your pups will be comfortable all year-round.  

Throughout the day, our animal attendants run a series of activities designed to stimulate your pup in a fun and safe manner. These include games, challenges, training, cuddles and even grooming sessions. We like to ensure the pups take regular rest breaks, so there are plenty of dog beds for a little time out, and when we turn the lights down and sit quietly with them, they tend to follow our lead.

We also offer an opportunity for groups of volunteers to come in throughout the week to spend some time in a workplace. These are generally young adults with mild disabilities who come with support workers to learn about the work environment. They may do some light cleaning duties between bouts of play and cuddles with our daycare pups. Humans and dogs alike love this opportunity for some extra attention.

Doggy Daycare Benefits

Dog psychologists recommend that adult dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours at a time, but that number is limited to 2 hours for puppies under 6 months and preferably less than an hour for puppies under 14 weeks.

To get the most out of daycare, it is recommended that your dog attend at least once a week and on the same day each week. That way they get to know their pack well, make best friends and build confidence.

Fur Mum Doggy Daycare offers a range of benefits to your dog and you.

For your dog these include:

  • exercise

  • stimulation

  • confidence building

  • socialisation

  • can help to alleviate separation anxiety

For you, the benefits are:

  • easing the guilt of working long-hours

  • less stress over leaving your dog alone

  • ensuring you don’t come home to a trashed house

  • and no noise complaints from your neighbours!
