We promised to look after your dogs with the best care and love in a home like environment and without cages. And that’s what we do and we love to see returning customers who are looking forward to see their friends.
Today we would like to give you more insight into the experience of dogs’ overnight stays with us.
There is a big difference for dogs who spent some time with us and those coming for the first time. Returning dogs are more confident, happily say goodbye to their owners and can’t wait to see who is inside. It is obvious dogs also make friends. We at Feligos can never guarantee they will meet again next time after making a perfect playing couple or group as every day is different for us. But the regular customers have a chance to see their best friends again soon! And it is very enjoyable to watch the happiness when they see each other again! Luckily, our space is big enough for crazy runs, jumps and tease over toys. This is the best reward for our hard work 😉
We always recommend to our customers to bring a dog for at least one day stay before they leave him overnight. There is a lot bigger chance he will be calmer, and the experience of boarding will not be so stressful for him. The first night away from his family is always scary and we understand that.
The patter is always similar when boarding dogs. Those staying for their second night are already tired after a day full of games and walks and fall asleep easily like babies. They find the best place for themselves. It may be a blanket in the corner, fluffy doggy bed or a sofa. We don’t tell them where to sleep. There is a room dedicated to relax with many options and we respect their choices.
However, the first night dogs are usually restless, they do not understand what is going on, why they are not going home or where is their bed. They walk around in attempt to continue games, trying to wake up their friends and sometimes they even cry until they fall asleep exhausted. Poor babies! The good news is that in the morning and the second night all is forgotten and every dog calms down and the second night is a peaceful one.
The worst case scenario is to bring the dog for the first time ever to Feligos in the evening and leave him for the night. We prefer not to do it and do not recommend it to the owners. The first time at Guarderia is always something unknown for the dog and it can take a few hours for them to get used to new people, environment and company of different dogs. Before they become familiar with the new place, there is time to go to bed. The rest of dogs are already tired, not ready to play and the newcomer is full of sadness or energy. And so the first night is even more stressful for him, staff member and the rest of the dogs.
So please believe us when we say it is better to bring your fluffy friend first for a day care stay and if you are leaving him for the night, whether he is regular or not, do not leave the drop off until the evening. It is much better for your loved friend if he has some time to get used to the situation before he goes to sleep.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your dear dogs for days and nights as always.
Your Feligos team
