GENERAL INFO

Daycare

• Requirements

  • Profile created

  • Vaccinations up to date

  • Spayed/Neutered, if over nine months

  • Well-adjusted temperament, with no signs of aggression or anxiety

  • Temperament test completed at Bronx Barx

 

If you are interested in signing your dog up for daycare services for the first time, your first step is to make a reservation via your profile for the free one-hour temperament test. During this time, you leave your dog with us at the Bronx Barx facility and we assess their temperament by introducing them to the other guests while looking to ensure positive interactions and no signs of aggression or anxiety. Our goal is to ensure that your dog will fully enjoy their time at Bronx Barx, and ensure a safe and fun environment for all. Following the test, we provide you with a detailed assessment of their behavior in the facility and will confirm the results of the test.

 

Once your dog passes the temperament test, you will be approved to request reservations for any subsequent day during operating hours. Since the results of the temperament test are not guaranteed, we do require that the temperament test be scheduled prior to any daycare reservations.

​

Daycare hours of operation

• Monday-Friday: 7:00am-7:00pm

• Saturday: 8:00am-5:00pm

Boarding

• Requirements

  • Active Bronx Barx daycare guest

 

We currently offer boarding to dogs who regularly attend daycare at Bronx Barx (at least five times in the past three months). This allows us to ensure that each dog boarding with us will thoroughly enjoy their extended stay with us in a fun and safe manner. 

 

If you are a first time client interested in daycare and boarding services, please review the instructions for setting up daycare reservations above. Unfortunately we do not provide boarding as a stand-alone service

We offer dog walking during the mid-day hours of 12:00pm-3:00pm in the vicinity of our current location (map here). You can see the group walking availability on the portal and select your preferred day(s). Prior to our first visit, we will connect with you to confirm instructions for access to pick up and drop off your dog (providing a key/key fob or other access), and will discuss any particular instructions for the dog walking service, which will be added to your profile.
