Premier Dog Day Care in East Bay, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Oakland and surrounding areas.

This is the day care you have been waiting for! Fresh air, sunshine, fun and friends, both human and canine. No reservations are required for existing day care clients! But we highly recommend making day care reservations during the holidays.

With five indoor and two outdoor exercise yards, your best friend will have ample time and space to romp while you are away. We keep our guests in small groups of compatible canines only, supervised with positive redirection techniques – absolutely no squirt bottles.

Our dogs are good canine citizens and have basic manners continually reinforced through structured play group activities by their capable handlers. Dogs will spend hours in their play groups, then take a nap or rest time, then back out for more fun in play groups.

The indoor yards are floored with 3/8” recycled rubber matting, and our outdoor yards are cushioned with fresh wood chips to provide traction and cushioning, as well as the right natural microbial content to maintain a healthy and sanitary environment for everyone.

When your canine companion is not playing with his or her friends, he/she will have a comfortable, clean room to retire to.

And a maximum 15:1 ratio of dogs to humans ensures plenty of loving individual attention.

WHAT IS PRIVATE DAY CARE?

A wonderful option for less-social dogs.

Metro Dog caters to all types of dogs. While the vast majority of our clients take advantage of our full social program, there are others who just don’t do so well in company. Our private day care program offers your dog the safety and security of a solo experience while staying at Metro Dog. Private day care doggies have a room to themselves. In their room they are allowed all the toys and bones you would like them to have.

Private dogs take three 15 minute trips to our outside yards to play and take care of business in the company of their human handler in addition to regular potty breaks throughout the day. They also have a half hour private play session with their handler every day that they are a guest at Metro Dog.

EXTRA FUN

Want even more for your canine companion? Extra training, a good scrub and fluff, or a field trip to the park? No problem! Metro Dog offers a wide range of goodies which you can add on to our basic day care and boarding schedule. Please visit our extra fun menu to peruse the array of tantalizing options.

HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION?

All new clients must attend a New Client Orientation before booking services. If you are a new client, please call 510. 524. DOGS or email us at info@metrodog.com. If you are a returning Metro Dog client, while we can often get you in without a reservation, especially at peak holiday times we would strongly recommend filling in reservation request form.
