Dog Daycare & Boarding FAQ in Bridgeport CT

Comprehensive Answers to Your Questions About Cage-Free Comfort, Safety Metrics, and Direct All-Inclusive Flat Rates

Dog Daycare and Boarding Pricing Questions

What are your exact daily rates for daycare and boarding?

We keep our pricing simple and transparent so you always know what to expect. Dog daycare is available for a flat rate of $45 per day.

For overnight boarding, our rates are based on your dog's size. Dogs under 40 pounds stay for $60 per night, while dogs over 40 pounds stay for $70 per night. To learn more about what's included with every stay, current availability, and our boarding policies, visit our Pricing page.

What is meant by an "all-inclusive" care policy?

Our all-inclusive approach means your dog's stay includes the care and attention they need without unexpected extra charges.

Every visit includes supervised outdoor walks, healthy treats, access to our play areas, photo and video updates, and personalized feeding based on your dog's regular routine.



We believe the essentials—like exercise, fresh air, individual attention, and consistent care—should always be included, so you can feel confident knowing exactly what's covered before you book.

Are there extra fees for administering oral medications or specialized raw diets?

No. We believe essential care should be included, not treated as an extra charge. That's why we administer basic oral and topical medications and follow your dog's regular feeding schedule at no additional cost.



Whether your dog requires a special diet, a raw food meal, or routine medication, our team will carefully follow your instructions to help maintain their normal routine throughout their stay.

Do you offer multi-day discounts or long-term package options?

Yes. We offer convenient 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day packages for families who use our daycare or boarding services regularly. These packages provide added flexibility and can help simplify scheduling for pet owners who rely on us for ongoing care.



For more information about our package options, pricing, and availability, please contact our team. We'll be happy to help you choose the option that best fits your needs.

What is your cancellation and reservation modification policy?

To help us accommodate all of our clients, we ask that cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance.

Reservations cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice may be subject to a one-night charge, allowing us the opportunity to offer the available space to another family.



If your travel plans change, simply call or text us as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate changes whenever availability allows.

Dog Daycare Questions

What are your standard operating hours for boutique dog daycare?

Our dog daycare is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM.

These hours are designed to provide flexibility for busy pet owners while giving dogs plenty of time to play, socialize, and enjoy their day in our care.

If you have questions about drop-off or pick-up times, feel free to contact our team—we'll be happy to help.

What is the core difference between dog daycare and overnight boarding?

Dog daycare is a daytime service where dogs enjoy supervised play, socialization, exercise, and personalized care while you're at work or away for the day.

Boarding includes all the benefits of daycare, along with comfortable overnight accommodations for dogs staying with us while their owners are traveling.

To learn more about our overnight care, accommodations, and what to expect during your dog's stay, visit our Dog Boarding page.

Can shy, anxious, or high-energy dogs thrive in your daycare program?

Yes. Our smaller, boutique environment allows us to provide personalized care for dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels.

Active dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and exercise, while shy or anxious dogs receive the patience, attention, and gentle introductions they need to feel comfortable.



We take the time to help every dog adjust at their own pace, creating a positive experience that builds confidence and helps them feel safe in our care.

Which veterinary vaccinations are required before my dog can attend daycare?

To maintain our excellent health standards and protect our community pack, we require up-to-date documentation for Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations.

Additionally, all guests must pass a negative fecal examination within the past calendar year.

We cross-verify these medical records during our standard intake process to ensure that our cage-free environment remains completely safe and healthy for every pet.

Dog Boarding Questions

What makes your boutique overnight care model truly cage-free?

At The Furry Inn, we provide a cage-free boarding experience where dogs can enjoy supervised play, socialization, and plenty of personal attention throughout the day.

In the evening, they settle into comfortable, supervised resting areas designed to help them relax after a full day of activity.

Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where dogs can stay active, feel comfortable, and receive the individualized care they deserve while you're away.

What are your drop-off and pickup windows for weekend boarding stays?

Weekend drop-off and pick-up hours are Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

These scheduled hours help us maintain a calm, consistent routine for all of our boarding guests while allowing our team to provide each dog with the attention and care they deserve.

We ask that weekend arrivals and departures take place during these hours whenever possible.

How do you manage size differences and sleeping arrangements for overnight guests?

We group dogs based on size, temperament, and play style to help every guest feel safe and comfortable.

Smaller dogs enjoy care designed for dogs under 40 pounds, while larger dogs receive accommodations suited to dogs over 40 pounds.

This helps us create well-matched groups and provide each dog with the space, supervision, and comfort they need during their stay.

Temperament Evaluation and Group Play Questions

Why is a temperament evaluation required for all new companions?

To help maintain a safe and positive environment for every dog in our care, all new guests must complete a temperament evaluation before their first daycare or boarding stay.

This dog daycare temperament evaluation or dog boarding temperament evaluation gives our team the opportunity to get to know your dog's personality, comfort level, and play style.

It also helps us determine whether they're a good fit for our cage-free environment and allows us to create safe, well-matched playgroups for all of our guests.

How do you determine group play suitability and manage small packs?

Our team takes the time to get to know each dog's personality, play style, age, and energy level rather than making assumptions based on breed alone.

We use this information to create well-matched playgroups where dogs can interact safely and comfortably.

By carefully grouping dogs based on their individual needs, we're able to encourage positive socialization while helping every guest feel relaxed, confident, and well cared for throughout their stay.

Daily Photo and Video Update Questions

How often will I receive photos and videos of my dog during their stay?

Continuous communication is a core part of our boutique service promise. We send high-definition smartphone photo updates and real-time video clips directly to your phone multiple times throughout the day.

You will get to watch your pet actively exploring on their outdoor walks, playing safely with friendly pack mates, and relaxing during dedicated cuddle windows, providing you with ultimate peace of mind.

Can I check in with your handlers directly if I am traveling internationally?

Absolutely. We understand that being away from your dog can be difficult, so we're always happy to keep you updated while they're in our care.



As an owner-led facility, you can call or text us if you'd like an update during your dog's stay. We're also happy to share regular photo and video updates, so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
