Daycare Add-Ons
Basics:
Most dogs eat at home before coming to DDL for daycare. If your dog requires a meal during a daycare stay, the fee is $9.50.
Puppies under 6 months, dogs that are boarding overnight and our unlimited package holders are exempt from this fee.
A weight appropriate dose of CBD can help ease anxiety. Check with your vet to ensure CBD is right for your dog before booking this service.
Protect your dog's fur and skin from harmful UV rays with our $1 sunscreen spritz add-on.
Charged when a daycare or boarding dog requires house food. You can also opt for 4 meals for $12.
Water: No charge
PB: No charge for one off. Charge for more than twice in a day and/or consecutive days of PB added.
Wet Food/Broth/Pumpkin/Rice: Charge per day
Tripe: Charge per use. Up to 3x ($9) per day. Advise clients to purchase can at that point.
Tally all applicable charges and apply to accounts under additional services after every meal service.
Charged if a dog needs to be transported to/from the vet or between facilities.
5-minute walk out into the courtyard to sniff and go potty. Especially good for Senior dogs who cannot or will not walk very far and for pups that do not like to go to the bathroom in the park.
15 minutes of one-on-one cuddle time. We go to a quiet spot for snuggles, belly rubs, bum scratches and sweet talk.
Quick-release collars are an extra measure of safety when your pooch is playing with the others. We require the quick-release collar so that we can snap it open in the rare instance that any pups should get a collar caught on their teeth or tangled with another. Belt buckle style collars do not give us the ability to quickly separate dogs in a situation like this and can present a safety risk. We offer a number of affordable collars and options to store them here if you wish to have a different collar at home. Harnesses are not to be worn in the parks unless specifically recommended by a vet.
Note: Airtags, Fi tracking collars and other GPS technology trackers are not allowed in daycare parks because they pose a choking hazard.

FAQs
Think of our dog daycare as a vibrant playground for your furry pal! It's a space where they can mingle, play, and always be under the watchful eyes of our team. Many pet parents adore our services because they entertain their dogs and foster socialization, ensuring they return home calm and content.
Every dog is unique, and their play patterns reflect that. We rotate dogs in and out of playgroups for various reasons, from ensuring certain dogs don't interact due to temperament to giving a tired pup a well-deserved break. Plus, certain breeds, like flat-faced or fluffy ones, might need cooling down breaks. Our goal? Maximized playtime in a safe, harmonious setting.
Bordetella, commonly known as kennel cough, is a concern in environments where dogs are in close contact, like daycare. To ensure the health and safety of all our furry guests, we've established a 6-month Bordetella vaccination rule, based on consultations with veterinarians. For added convenience, Downtown Dog Lounge offers an in-house intranasal version of this vaccine.
Safety first! Dogs play using their mouths and garments, or collars can get caught. Quick-release collars can be snapped open swiftly if needed, preventing potential accidents. While we offer affordable collar options, harnesses are park-prohibited unless vet-recommended.
It's all about the hours. Up to 2 hours is hourly rated, 2-5 hours is half-day, and beyond 5 hours is a full day. While we offer both half and full-day packages, they're not interchangeable. If you need both occasionally, consider having two separate packages.
Feeding during daycare requires extra hands on deck. While we waive this for pups under six months and unlimited package holders, we recommend feeding your dog before and after daycare. This minimizes park messes and ensures focused supervision.
The after-hours fee applies when dogs are dropped off or picked up outside our regular hours. Though we operate 24/7, staffing is limited during off-hours. Monthly, half-year, or full-year unlimited daycare clients are exempt. Healthcare workers also enjoy waived fees for early or late services. If you anticipate off-hour needs, please notify us in advance. Dogs remaining past 9:30 PM may be moved to boarding with associated fees. After a bath or groom, please collect your dog within two hours of notification. Beyond that, hourly Daycare charges apply. Extended delays might result in added walking and daycare fees. Note: Only dogs that have passed our evaluation can play post-grooming.
Absolutely, we adore puppies! Puppies can join us from 10 weeks onwards. At this age, they're typically still receiving their booster shots, so they'll be placed in our special nursery at the South Lake Union (SLU) location. Once they reach 4-6 months and are fully vaccinated, they can undergo a New Dog Evaluation and join the fun in the park.
Kudos on your new addition! For their well-being, we advise a 2-month acclimation period in their new home before evaluation for our services. This ensures they're comfortable and ready for group play.
At our South Lake Union (SLU) location, the facility is indoors, but any messes are promptly cleaned. For pups that prefer the outdoors, we offer additional outdoor walks. Meanwhile, our Ballard location boasts two outdoor parks for your dog's convenience.
The evaluation goes beyond just a day of daycare. Our trained Evaluators meticulously observe, assess, and document your dog's behavior throughout the day. Their expertise ensures that Downtown Dog Lounge is the right environment for your dog, prioritizing both their well-being and safety.
