Paws & Play Doggy Day Care offers several formats to suit different needs. The Activity Park and Fun House exclusive hire runs for 50 minutes and is ideal for nervous or reactive dogs who benefit from solo use of the indoor space. For socialisation and full-day care, there's a 2-hour trial session, half-day care (up to 6 hours), and full-day care (up to 11 hours).
