How much do you pay for daycare?

[Deleted]

We pay $17 a day. I think it is $15 a day if you buy a 10 day pass with no expiration and $14 a day for a 10 day pass with a 30 day expiration.

Our doggie daycare is run by the kennel we use, and they charge by the size of the dog (as well as give a discount to frequent customers). For Alice, it is $12/day.

I don't think $16 is all that much if they are also open on Saturday and that's more convenient for you. Could you just use the pricier place on the days the other one isn't open?

All of the prices listed here sound super cheap to me. We use two places; one is $23 a day and the other is $20. Of course it's cheaper if you buy multi-day passes, but not that much cheaper; I think they go down to $20 and $18 respectively.

I pay $20/dog for a full day or $15 for a half day. If you buy 6, you get one free (paying for 5) or 12 & get 2 free. I can also use the package deal on both dogs.

I buy a 20 visit pass for $380.00

Our boarding place is $28 full day and $22 half-day. I've never taken Dot, although I think the full-day would probably be nice if we ever take a day trip somewhere. But they are cage-free and probably one of the more expensive options in the area.

12$ for 6 hours or $20 for 12 hrs.

Here, doggie daycare is about $35/day.

So while I think $17 sounds great, I think $10 sounds AWESOME! Why can't you use both? (i.e. the $17 place when the $10 place is closed?) There's no reason you need to be exclusive with one, is there?

$30 a day, but you can buy plans with a set amount ahead of time for a slight discount. We have only done it once so far but she really liked it. We might consider a plan where she goes once a week.

We are lucky enough that Zeke gets to go to daycare for free any time he wants because we adopted him from the rescue based out of the daycare. He goes 2-3 days a week, and loves it. If we were paying, it would be $15 a day.

$22 full day for daycare, $35 a night boarding (includes daycare)

I'm so jealous! Quincy goes 2 days a week, and the cost really adds up. His energy level is just through the roof, though. We can walk and play all evening but there's nothing like a full-speed game of chase and tumble with other dogs.

I use to just buy a package that $80 I think. It was good for 10 half days (under 4 hours) or 5 full days. It could be used any day.

Max has since been kicked out of that daycare forever so this is no longer an issue for us.
