What pet parents ask us most
Crates provide a safe space for your dog to retreat, sleep, eat, and settle. They help with potty training, reduce destructive behavior, and are useful for traveling or vet visits. A crate can calm an overwhelmed or overstimulated dog, manage anxiety levels, and limit access to potential dangers or loud noises.
Just like people, dogs don’t get along with everyone. Different breeds have different energy levels and greeting styles. Drop-off and pick-up times create high arousal, which needs careful management. This is why we have specific rules during these times, with options for earlier pick-up by arrangement.
Spaying or neutering too early can lead to orthopedic issues, abnormal bone growth, hip dysplasia, bone density loss, and urinary problems. Growth plates need time to close first. Behavioral issues such as fear, phobias, aggression, or reactivity can also develop if surgery is done too early.
Hyper-arousal and anxiety increase when dogs see their friends leaving. Energy levels and personalities can shift in these moments. At The Dog Lounge, your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priority. We aim to return a happy, tired dog who has had as much fun as possible.
With over 20 years of experience with various dog breeds, reading body language is one of our specialties. We work carefully with dogs that react instinctively, ensuring supervision at all times. While we may not always move as fast as your pup, your dog’s safety and well-being are always our focus. Please feel free to reach out if anything is unclear or you need to discuss your pup’s needs.
