Dog Daycare

IN FRESNO & MADERA

If you’re looking for a fun and safe environment for your best friend while you’re at work or away for the day, our doggy daycare activities are just what you and your dog need. At Elaine’s Pet Resorts, dogs enjoy an action-packed day filled with play, exercise and rest at both our Fresno and Madera locations. Under the supervision of our trained staff, our doggy daycare guests receive positive social interaction in either a group play or personal play that will leave your dog tuckered out at the end of the day!

Our top priority is the safety of your pet. At first check-in, you will need to complete a questionnaire in order that we can better understand how your dog plays and behaves. If your dog has any known sensitivities or allergies, please let our knowledgeable front desk staff know.

We love having fun with all of our guests and nothing says fun like festive pictures! Throughout the year we offer exciting photoshoots for your best friend! Not only will they be able to come and play, but will enjoy dressing up and posing in the season’s cutest costumes.

Supervised Dog Waterpark!

Our beachfront entry waterpark pools await your dog at Elaine’s Pet Resorts’ Doggy Daycare! The warm Central Valley summers and mild winters allow your best friend to romp around the waterpark and splash through the fountains in either group or personal play. For dogs who may be new to the water or are shy, our beach-front entry pools allow for pets to enter at their own comfort level.

Each water park includes a large cabana, so pets can lounge comfortably in the shade and watch all of the action. Our play yards are fitted with canine turf (which means cleaner dogs!) and filled with dog safe toys to make the experience even more enjoyable. All playgroups are broken down by size and play style; small dogs will play with small dogs and big dogs with big dogs. Dogs who play better one-on-one with a human companion can have personal play sessions in the water park as well.

Elaine’s has been truly wonderful. I appreciate knowing that my energetic pup gets to socialize and have fun playing all day while I am at work. I am grateful for the employees who are always so excited to see Islay when she comes in.

- Kayla W.

My experience with Elaine’s has always been positive, starting with when I called to inquire about the offerings. The front staff is welcoming, friendly, and always professional. The handlers are fantastic, very good with all the dogs. One of the reasons for starting Bailie at Elaine’s was to get her used to being around other people and dogs. I wanted her to be social so that we could take her anywhere, and she would be fine. It’s worked; Bailie is a lovable, happy, special little princess.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

Yes, reservations are required. A reservation made in advance will secure your spot in daycare or for boarding, which is important during our busy weekends and holidays. You can call us at (559) 432-5959 or use our online reservation form to request a reservation.

What is Elaine's Meet & Greet Policy

Does my pet need to have certain vaccinations prior to daycare?

We require all pets in our care to be fully vaccinated in accordance with state regulations. For dogs, please provide proof of current Rabies, DHLP, Bordetella and Canine Influenza H3N2 vaccines. Vaccination schedules vary depending on your veterinarian’s policies and procedures, please consult with them to ensure that your pet is current on each vaccine before their stay. Proof of vaccinations is required prior to all visits. Records can be emailed to vaccines@elainespetresorts.com.

What can I expect after my pet’s stay?

While lodging your pet is exposed to a lot of new sights, smells, and sounds. This extra stimulation my cause a sense of excitement or unease, which may change their eating and drinking habits while in the lodging environment. It is very common for these unusual eating and drinking habits to continue for a few days once they get home and try to settle back into their normal routine. This can include changes in appetite, drinking habits, and possible upset tummies (colitis). Don’t be surprised if it takes your pet a few days to feel "regular" again.

With the extra stimulation of the lodging or daycare environment, some pets find it difficult to keep to their normal sleeping routine. This may result in your pet "crashing" for some much-needed recouperation when they get home. Don’t forget about all of the playtime your pet enjoyed during their stay! All the running around and swimming may require a few days of rest and relaxation to make your pet feel back to their old self again.

Are there risks if my dog participates in the group play setting?

Just like with kids at the playground, there is always a risk of an accident, and dogs are no different. While we monitor playtimes carefully, some pets may have more exuberant play styles than others. Nips, scratches, and the occasional tumble are to be expected when dogs engage in play with others. After all this romping around, some dogs may experience sore muscles or stiffness after a long day of playing and swimming.

Elaine’s Pet Resorts maintains a clean and safe environment for all our guest. Our play yards boast a vibrant easy to clean and sanitize artificial turf. While the turf is great for keeping your pet clean and safe from pests, it may be a bit rough for some dogs’ paws. Dogs who are used to non-abrasive surfaces (dogs who spend most of their time indoors or in lush grassy areas) may experience some tenderness on their paw pads after running around for long periods of time on our artificial turf.

Do all dogs participate in the group setting?

To ensure the safety of all our guest Elaine’s Pet Resorts has a series of assessments all dogs must "pass" before participating in the group setting. These assessments include: Breed, health, and temperament/play style. After dogs have gone through their assessments, Elaine’s continues to monitor for changes in health and temperament/play style to continue offering the safest environment possible.
