Doggy day care saved Shadow's life - literally. Shadow has extreme seperation anxiety and as a result spent several years going to the best day care in the world! I think it's all about finding the right day care. A poorly run centre can be dangerous to say the least. If day care is an option for your dog make sure you do tons of research and spend some time there with the dog and the owners and make sure you are 100% comfortable with the entire setup. First aid training for the staff should be mandatory as well. Some dogs though don't do well with day care, be it from aggression issues, or fear. My lab didn't like day care at all, she was just too overwhelmed by it, and the operator was aware enough to call me and ask me to come and get her after a couple hours because she was too stressed out with it. I say big thumbs up for the right place.
