DDC Basics
Does your dog need some entertainment during the day? How about some new friends? Stone Mountain’s doggy daycare program may be just the thing you’re looking for! Dogs can romp and play together from 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday in either our Petvention Center (our indoor gym) or our LARGE outdoor yards. Dogs are grouped together according to temperament and size. So if you’re working a long day, want your dog to burn off some extra energy, or want to work on your dog’s socialization skills, come in to Stone Mountain Pet Lodge!
DDC Half-Day on Weekends!
We've added Half-Day Doggy Day Care on Weekends! You can drop off your dog for some playtime with other dogs on
Saturdays from 12 PM to 4 PM. Sundays from 8 AM to 12 PM are reserved for dogs in our Lodging program to enjoy the social benefits of Doggy Day Care.
Psssst...you can add some socialized playtime to your dog's stay at Stone Mountain during the week and over the weekend. Don't worry; the Doggy Day Care program is in addition to, not in place of, our outstanding individualized care services. We started Stone Mountain Pet Lodge with superb individualized care because we wanted a boarding facility every pet owner could take advantage of and now we see Doggy Day Care as an added social and health benefit for our canine guests.
Orientation Day (required for first time guests!)
Orientation Day is a full day of care that lets your dog gradually acclimate to Doggy Day Care at Stone Mountain Pet Lodge. After starting the day in a private suite, your canine will receive a one-on-one assessment with one of our trained professionals to determine his or her comfort with our staff, evaluate social skills and play style, and will only then be introduced to the other day care dogs to avoid overstimulation and make sure the group setting is the right fit.
If we find that the daycare setting is not exactly the right fit for your dog, or there are behavior issues you’d like to work on, we do have other options!
Birthday Parties
Drop off your dog for a day of daycare and we will ensure that they have a fantastic birthday! Your special birthday pup will take a break from daycare to enjoy a fancy personal birthday cake and get to invite a couple of their closest friends to their very own birthday party! Our trained staff will host the party where the pups get to romp and play with special birthday toys and pose for a birthday photo shoot (complete with special doggy party hats). Pictures from the party will be sent home with you at the end of the day so you can enjoy the party (almost) as much as they did! See a staff member for details
