Why use Doggy Day Care
Top 10 Reasons
In recent years, we have become more aware, through increased research, the damage we can cause to our dogs by leaving them alone for long periods of time (more than 4 hours).
This should not mean if we work, that we can’t experience the immense pleasure that a dog can bring to our home and family.
Precious Paws can ensure that your dog is loved and well cared for when you are busy with the other important aspects of your life.
We can support you to give your dog all the things that they need: mental, physical and social enrichment. In turn your dog will be a pleasure to have around, they will be obedient, well socialised, confident and happy.
Puppies will develop into happy and enthusiastic teenagers and adults. Older dogs will have someone to monitor them, give them cuddles, play with them in a way that meets their needs, and provide an environment that offers them the opportunity to experience mental, physical and social enrichment that is right for them.

We are licensed through Liverpool City Council and have achieved the highest rating possible of 5 Stars, meeting all the higher-level criteria for Dog Day Care Provision.
- Will my dog be supervised at all times?
Yes. No dogs will be left unattended at any time. - Do you only accept well trained dogs?
No. In fact one of the reasons people bring their dogs to day care is to help with training and socialisation. Many owners have noticed an improvement in their dog’s behaviour after attending daycare.
We also improve behaviour through our structured environment and in our roles as team leaders. This means lots of fun that doesn’t get out of hand, and everyone plays nicely.We do not accept dogs that are reactive to other dogs, or dogs that are very anxious. We do, however, offer support and training for both of these issues, to enable potential admission to daycare (if it is the right thing for the dog).
- I have a puppy or small dog, can they come to daycare?
Research has shown, that young puppies under the age of 6 months, need 18-20 hours sleep a day to develop physically and to optimise behavior.It is essential with young puppies, that we protect their growing bones, joints and ligaments, as well as ensure that they do not have long periods of over stimulation. for this reason, we do not accept puppies any younger than 18 weeks into the daycare, they are then able to participate in nursery sessions, these last one hour. We are able to gradually increase this time, and once they are 24 weeks, we can start to build to half a day (up to twice a week), pups under 1yr are not able to attend for full days.
- What happens if my dog doesn’t get on with other dogs?
Precious paws are extremely strict in only accepting social dogs, which means there is less likelihood of hostile encounters - What happens in a medical emergency?
Our staff are fully qualified in canine first aid and CPR, for emergency situations. We are also registered with a local veterinarian. We would of course always try to take your dog to your own vet, and would contact you and/or your emergency contact immediately.
