WAG DAYCARE
Boutique dog houses
Not your average kennel! In between playtime, dogs nap comfortably in our custom-built houses. Sweet dreams of chasing cats await...
1:7 staff to dog play groups
At WAG we have the best staff to dog ratio in Christchurch, so that between naps your dog will get all the love and attention they deserve.
Purpose-built facilities
Our daycare venue has been designed to give your dog a structured and stimulating experience, alternating between nap and play.
What does a normal day at WAG look like?
We are welcoming your doggos from 7am and expect to quiet off around 9am
We will assign them to a small group of similar fur friends (small dogs will be grouped together where possible) and get them settled in
For any newbies, once they are comfortable we will slowly introduce them to their group, one dog at a time
Throughout the day they will rotate between nap time in our custom-built boutique dog houses (usually 1 hour at a time) and then out in their play groups for the next hour
When they are out in their play groups, they will participate in fun puzzle games to stimulate their brains and play with their friends. They will also get lots of cuddles, attention and chill time with our staff
All dogs will be put away to settle before peak pick up times all ready to greet you with their slobbery smiles

Assessment
The Daycare Assessment is to ensure the health & safety for all dogs and WAG staff. We will collect information about your dog’s history, nature, temperament and play style etc. Vaccination records are reviewed. We will interact with your dog to assess the level of training it has received, how they are to be touched and how social they are. The Daycare Assessment is designed to see if your dog is a good fit for a daycare.
At WAG, the health and safety for your dog is the most important factor. If we feel that your dog is not suitable for our daycare we will talk to you and discuss alternative options to suit both you and your dog.
Day to day
WAG Doggy Daycare is open Monday-Friday 7am-5.45pm.
Drop off times are any time after 7am Monday-Friday. Pick up times are no later than 5.45pm. Late pick-up fees apply.
For the safety of everyone, all dogs are required to enter and exit WAG on a leash. If someone else is waiting in the reception area with their dog, please give them some space and wait with at least 2 meters between dogs to avoid unnecessary altercations. If someone other than yourself will be picking up your dog, please notify staff.
