What Has Made the Doggie Depot of Virginia the “Premier Dog Daycare in Winchester, VA” Since 2017?

At the Doggie Depot of Virginia, the care from our employees for the pets in our care, and the connections we have made with the owners has built lasting relationships. We have spent time getting to know them while playing and snuggling. We did not need to use harsh tools to correct any pet in our care, our experienced employees went through extensive training for dogs in group off-leash play, dog etiquette, body language, daycare evaluations, canine First Aid/CPR and how to handle redirecting inappropriate dog behavior, and emergency situations with your pet such as severe weather. Is that it? Of course not! Your pets received  play time, cuddle time and rest time through the day. We were also an enrichment based daycare, taking a holistic approach to keep both the mind and body healthy. Fresh water always available, which meant your pet received plenty of potty breaks throughout the day! We also worked on foundation training cues, such as “Sit”, “Off”, “Stay” and “Leave It” while at daycare. Is your dog a little stinky, or are their nails a little too long? We even took care of that while they’re at daycare, too!

It has been an honor to serve all our clients for the past seven plus years. As announced on Tuesday, December 10th, our last day of operations will be Monday, December 16th. I wish you all the best – Laura
