Doggie Daycares in NYC

Brrrrr! It was 50 degrees last week in New York City but today it’s dropped to 20 degrees. What’s a dog to do? There’s energy to burn and things to pee on but, oh my dog, is it cold out there! The sidewalks feel like ice and the dog parks are empty. Why not enroll your pup in a doggie daycare? There are so many daycare facilities in New York City where your pet can make new friends and run around in the safety of a climate controlled building, get some TLC, and come home tired and happy.

Here’s a few that we’ve found:

Playground Pups is located at 664 Amsterdam Ave in Manhattan over by 92nd street on the upper west side and is open Mon thru Fri from 7:30am to 7:30pm. They offer daycare, boarding, grooming, and training. It’s known as the “neighborhood hangout for your dog” and has a small boutique of handmade clothing so you can pick up a sweater on the way home for your pup. Your dog will play, snooze, wrestle with other dogs, and be safe.
