Northern VA Dog Daycare Party Inside, Potty Outside!

Doggy Daycare: Socialize in Safety at Healthy Hound!

Having your dog attend an award-winning doggie daycare has never been easier! Centrally located on the border of Herndon & Sterling, VA, and a hop away from Reston & Ashburn, sits Northern VA’s Healthy Hound Playground - a 100% cage-free dog daycare where your pup is paired with dogs of similar activity level and size. Our playrooms are always supervised with attendants that have had the benefit of training with a 20 year dog daycare veteran.

Daycare is one of the best ways for your pup to learn positive socialization behavior, get much needed exercise, as well as have companionship and stimulation during the day. Healthy Hound welcomes dogs of all ages and activity levels. For added convenience, we also offer professional dog grooming and overnight dog boarding. Join us today for fellowship and friends at Healthy Hound Playground.

Frequently Asked Questions about dog boarding, dog daycare and grooming in Maryland and Virginia

Intro Day Appointments

If you are a new client coming to our Sterling location we require that you make an appointment for your dog to be introduced into our pack. The intro is part of a regular full day or half day of daycare for your dog.

You may schedule this in our online portal by adding the service "Intro Day!" (under "Additional Services") to your daycare reservation.

You may drop your dog off at any time prior to their intro time. We will introduce them into the playroom as soon as we are able. Each dog will spend some time in a large canine cottage prior to being introduced into the pack. This allows them time to acclimate to the smells and sounds of our facility, and in our experience, offers the best opportunity for a successful integration.

We stagger times for introductions so that we may give each dog the attention they deserve, to provide them the best chance of being successful at our facility.

Spay/Neuter Policy

We accept intact female pups up to age 6 months for both daycare (group play) and boarding. We do not accept intact females over age 6 months for either daycare, day boarding or boarding, but we do accept them for grooming only.

We accept intact male pups up to age 9 months for daycare (group play) and boarding. We still accept intact males over 9 months for boarding and day boarding, but not for group play. We also accept intact males for grooming.

Individual Daycare

If your dog does well with humans but for any reason isn’t a candidate for group play, we offer our Individual Daycare Program. Your dog can come for the day and receive extra one-on-one dedicated staff attention from our Pet Care team, go out for longer outdoor potty breaks, stay in a large, premium canine cottage, and perhaps do an activity such as a run on our doggy treadmill at no additional charge. The cost for Individual daycare is the same as Group daycare.

Vaccines

Please note that we will need vaccination records prior to your appointment. You may email or upload them to your customer profile.

As a gentle reminder, at Healthy Hound it is the customer’s responsibility to provide vaccination records in order to use our services. Our staff is not responsible for calling vets.

Rabies – Required for dogs over 4 months. Puppies under 4 months must be up to date on their puppy shots.
Distemper – Required
Bordetella – Required
Canine Influenza – Will soon be required!
Lepto – Highly Encouraged – Note: If your dog receives a 3 year Distemper/Lepto combination vaccine, the Lepto portion is only good for 1 year!
