Many pet owners ask, “How do I know if my dog needs day care?”

It’s a great question—and an important one, especially if you’re juggling work, errands, or just want to ensure your pet is getting enough attention during the day.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I offer doggy day care for £19/day, right from my home at 305 Brighton Road. Here are some signs your dog may benefit from joining us:

1. They Get Bored or Destructive When Left Alone

If you come home to chewed furniture, shredded pillows, or empty bins, it could be a sign your dog is understimulated and bored. Doggy day care provides play, stimulation, and routine to prevent those behaviors.

2. They Have Lots of Energy

High-energy breeds or young dogs often need more activity than a quick morning walk. A full day of structured play and walks helps release energy in a healthy way.

3. They Seem Lonely or Anxious

Dogs are social animals. If your dog whines, paces, or shows signs of separation anxiety when you leave, spending time at day care with a caring sitter can help ease that stress.

4. You Work Long or Irregular Hours

If you’re gone most of the day, your dog is probably getting less interaction and exercise than they need. Doggy day care offers reassurance for you and companionship for them.

5. You Want to Improve Their Behavior at Home

Dogs that are mentally and physically fulfilled during the day are calmer and better behaved at home. Regular day care can lead to improved routines, sleep, and mood.
