While dog daycare doesn't necessarily help with separation anxiety, it does keep your pup active all day so that they're ready to rest when they get home. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, you should discuss options with your veterinarian.
Puppies are welcome to visit daycare once they have received all of their puppy shots, which is usually between 16-18 weeks of age. We strongly recommend puppy socialization classes between 8-14 weeks of age. This is the prime socialization age for them to learn new things and have new experiences in a safe and controlled environment.
