Why Did My Dog Get Sick at Day Care?
by Mark Patts DVM
Dog day care and open play boarding is very much like child day care or school. It is possible for dogs, just like kids to spread illnesses to each other, especially since dogs play with their mouths.
In order to come to day care, you must believe that the benefits of socialization, exercise and stimulation are more important and outweigh the potential for occasional illness.
It would not be realistic to expect that a child would never get sick at day care or at school and the same applies to dog day care. Also, like children, some dogs have stronger immune systems than other dogs. There might be a child at school who picks up every illness that comes around and another who has the same exposure but never seems to get sick.
Even in the most hygienic, well-ventilated, spacious kennels, the possibility of a dog acquiring an illness exists. Your dog can become ill from your neighbor's dog, from a trip to the dog park, from the animal hospital where your dog came in for treatment for a hurt paw, or even from a Champion show dog at a dog show.
Try not to blame the kennel owner if your dog gets sick shortly after that weekend boarding stay! There may have been an infected dog, unknown to anyone, who was boarding at the same time.
We ask that our clients also give the benefit of the doubt to other clients who may have unknowingly brought a sick dog to day care. Sometimes illnesses are not apparent right away and one dog may expose other dogs to a bug.
For example, kennel cough can be as mild as a little bit of congestion which may not be noticeable on the first day, or a slightly red eye may turn into an infection which was not severe at first.

Why Did My Dog Get Hurt at Day Care/Boarding?
It is normal for dogs to have disagreements, tiffs and even get into fights when playing and interacting; it is how they communicate with each other.
Sometimes dogs, like children, can misjudge either play or a correction and inadvertently cause an injury. If your dog gets a scrape, cut, bite or bruise, that doesn't mean the dog who gave it to him is aggressive and shouldn't be at day care.
The analogy of kids on a playground is a good one because dogs can hurt each other without setting out to do so. This is something that you should be aware of and prepared for when bringing your dog to any open play facility (even the dog park).
Also, even though all play areas are supervised, there are times when an injury can occur without being noticed. An example would be, if a group of dogs are playing too roughly with one another, one of them could be hurt during play, and get a scrape, cut or puncture from a tooth or toe nail. Many dogs do not show signs that they were hurt (such as crying out). This is because dogs have a higher pain threshold then we do.
Without a sign from the dog, staff members do not know to check the dog(s) over, and a dog's coat can easily hide an injury.

Helping Dottie the Frightened Dalmatian Embrace the World around Her
Crystal Gray turned to Park Cities Obedience School as a last resort in November of 2007. She didn’t really think anyone could help her or her six-year old Dalmatian, Dottie. Today, she tells people who need help with their pets, “Take them to Park Cities Obedience School. You can’t imagine the miracles they worked on this dog.”
Dottie, a rescue dog that had probably been abused, was four or five months old when Crystal adopted her. Though Dottie bonded with her owner, she remained terribly frightened of other people. Fear made her aggressive with animals and people. She even suffered from stress-related health problems.

A Good Dog Still Benefits From Day Care
Greg Hustis was a long-time client of Park Cities Obedience School before he adopted Liza, a Whippet and Terrier mix.
"I had gone to Park Cities Obedience School over several years, because I had taken other dogs there. I've known them for a long time."
Greg had been without a dog for a few years, and decided he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to Operation Kindness last year and adopted Liza when she was about 12 months old.
The first summer he owned her, Greg needed to be gone for three weeks, so he took that opportunity to enroll her in Park Cities Obedience School’s Board and Train Program. In the program, dogs stay for two weeks and are taught basic commands such as sit, stay, down, how to come when called, and other good, safe behaviors.
