FAQs

Dr. Boyd's is a full service veterinary resort, open 7 days a week, from 7am - 7pm. We offer a full service veterinary hospital, dog and cat boarding, dog daycare, grooming and bathing. We welcome all dogs and cats, regardless of age, medical condition, or temperament.

The webcams provide the best possible coverage of the yards, and your dog may be resting or playing close to the fence, just out of the view of the camera.

We do not turn away any dog based on their breed. All dogs are temperament tested before being allowed into our group play. Not all dogs enjoy being with other dogs, no matter what breed they are. In the case of unsocialized or aggressive dogs, they will have either time one-on-one with a handler, or possibly small groups of 1-3 other dogs to play with. We take our time in testing each dog, safety of our staff and safety of the animals is our number 1 priority.

We will evaluate your dog's social compatibility with our other guests in order to create the best possible experience. If for any reason your dog is not ready for the large play yards, the Playtime Cycle program will offer your dog the opportunity for either one-on-one play with our handlers or small (1-3 dogs) groups under direct supervision.

Every 2-3 hours, they will walk or play one-on-one with a handler, or if temperament allows, create groups of 1, 2, or 3 dogs who can play together safely under direct supervision, if possible. However, there is never a guarantee that we can make this happen routinely.

Most of our canine guests spend up to 12 hours daily in the play yards. Our Playtime Cycle guests will go for walks or enjoy individual playtime every 2-3 hours.
