Healthy Hound Playground, Located in Sterling, Virginia, Now Gives Dog Owners a Healthy Alternative to the Current Daycare and Boarding Offerings in Northern Virginia.
May 29, 2013
Healthy Hound Playground, located in Sterling Virginia, now gives pet owners a healthy alternative to the current daycare and boarding offerings in Northern VA.
Healthy Hound is not just their name, it is their mantra. The difference between Healthy Hound Playground and other Northern Virginia dog day cares and boarding facilities is quite striking and dog owners are starting to discover why. The experienced staff consistently interacts with playful day care dogs and provides both mental and physical stimulation. This positive stimulation is an essential ingredient for dogs to learn how to interact properly with both their counterparts and humans. Day care dogs enjoy 100% of their time in a safe, active, and cage-free environment. The Herndon/Sterling facility was specifically designed with a flexible configuration in order to have the ability to divide the day care dogs based on size, temperament, and activity levels…or to allow the dogs the run of the entire 2000+ square feet of fenced in indoor space if energy and size levels allow.
Unlike most other doggie day care facilities in Northern Virginia, Healthy Hound Playground provides regular outdoor potty breaks for all of its four-legged visitors, so that dogs are not unlearning his or her potty training, and they keep their good habits! For a typical daycare stay, dogs are treated to at least 3 to 4 potty breaks during the day, and for overnight dog boarding guests, six or more breaks are provided during a 24-hour period.
Although sleeping quarters are spacious, clean, and comfortable, overnight guests do not spend their evenings alone. There is an on-site overnight manager that watches over the dogs to ensure all boarding guests are safe and comfortable. Owners are welcome and encouraged to bring their dog’s favorite blanket, toys, treats, and regular food from home to ensure that each dog feels as comfortable as possible during their boarding stay. Often, community-sleeping arrangements are made with the staff to provide the extra attention needed to those dogs that have trouble sleeping away from home.
Tours of Healthy Hound Playground’s dog boarding and day care facility are provided throughout the week, or if you would like to join them for their Grand Opening Celebration on June 1st, stop by between Noon and 4 PM to see this grand facility and meet the staff for yourself! You will not be disappointed!
Healthy Hound Playground serves all of the Northern VA area, including the following localities: Sterling, Herndon, Ashburn Centreville, Chantilly, Reston, and Dulles.
