A day at Bone-Anza
What does a typical day look like for my dog?
Your dog will spend the day in our 3,300 square foot, temperature-controlled facility with plenty of toys, a big-screen TV, and surround sound. They'll go on at least two guided walks around the neighborhood during the day, and enjoy constant attention and companionship from Joe and his staff. We also regularly send owners photos and updates throughout the day.
How many dogs are at daycare at one time?
We keep our numbers carefully managed so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Joe and his team maintain a close eye on all dogs throughout the day to ensure a safe, happy environment.
Do you separate dogs by size?
oe assesses each dog individually during the initial meet and greet and manages the group accordingly. With over 20 years of experience, Joe knows how to read dog behaviour and ensure all dogs — regardless of size or breed — feel comfortable and safe.
My dog needs medication during the day — can you help?
Absolutely — at no extra charge. If your dog needs medication, feeding, or any special care during the day, just let Joe know and he'll make sure it's taken care of.
Do you take dogs outside to the bathroom?
Yes — unlike some facilities, we always take dogs outside when nature calls rather than allowing indoor bathroom habits, which can be very hard to break. Your dog will go on at least two guided walks a day, and more if the weather is nice.
Confirm when done and we'll move to "Dogs & requirements"!
Dogs & requirements
What breeds do you accept?
We welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from tiny terriers to large breeds. Joe has extensive experience with all types of dogs and will assess your dog individually to make sure Bone-Anza is the right fit.
Do you accept puppies and senior dogs?
Yes — we love puppies and senior dogs and give them the extra care and attention they need. Just mention your dog's age and any specific needs when you get in touch.
Does my dog need to be vaccinated?
Yes, for the safety of all dogs in our care we require up-to-date vaccinations. Please contact Joe for the specific vaccination requirements before your dog's first visit.
My dog is a bit anxious around other dogs — is Bone-Anza right for them?
Possibly — Joe will assess your dog during the meet and greet and give you an honest answer. One of the things Bone-Anza specialises in is helping dogs develop healthy social skills and confidence around other dogs. Joe can build a custom plan for your dog and provide coaching tips for use at home too.
