How to tell if your dog needs more structure, attention, or stimulation

Wondering whether dog day care is right for your pup? You’re not alone. Many pet owners worry about boredom, anxiety, or lack of exercise—especially after routines shift post-summer.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I offer calm, home-based day care with one-on-one attention and over 30 years of experience. Here are five signs your dog might love (and benefit from) day care.

⸻

1. They’re Left Alone for Long Periods

If your dog is spending 6–8 hours alone during the workday, it can lead to loneliness, stress, and even separation anxiety.
Day care provides:
• Human interaction
• Toilet breaks
• Midday enrichment

⸻

2. They Have More Energy Than You Can Handle

Working late? Tired evenings? A full day at home can leave your dog zooming.
Day care helps them:
• Release energy through walks and play
• Stay mentally stimulated
• Rest better at night

⸻

3. They Show Destructive or Anxious Behaviour

Chewing, barking, pacing, or toilet accidents while you’re gone?
These are signs your dog needs more company, comfort, or structure.

⸻

4. They’re Recently Adopted or a Rescue

Rescue dogs thrive on routine and gentle socialisation.
At Chrysidis, I offer a slow-paced, calm setting with trial visits to ease the transition.

⸻

5. You Want Peace of Mind During the Day

Dog day care isn’t just for your pet—it’s for you too.
Knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for makes a world of difference while you’re at work.
