In recent years, doggy daycare services have grown in popularity. Owners have realized the daycares are a great way for pups to meet other dogs and learn social skills. They’re also perfect for owners who work long days. However, it can sometimes be difficult for owners to get their dogs to daycare before they have to leave for work.
One daycare, though, found the perfect solution: a school bus!
Good Hands Boarding Kennels is an organization located in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
They are dedicated to giving pets a place to play while their owners are at work. Since Good Hands is located in Canada, a busy schedule isn’t the only thing that can keep pet parents from dropping their animals off at daycare. The weather can also be a huge factor.
Driving on the icy or snowy winter-time roads can be extremely dangerous, and the journey is not easy. That’s why Good Hands came up with the ingenious idea of a doggie school bus. Pups can now ride alongside their friends as they make their way to the facility.
The dogs are transported in their own cages so that they are safe and separated. The bus fits up to 10 cages, and it comes to each house rain or shine.
Once the animals arrive at the Good Hands property, they are free to do as they wish.
Each morning a string of excited dogs bolts out of the bus and into the puppy playground. Here they can do as they please.
The daycare is a lot of fun for the pups. It is fully equipped with everything they could ever want, from a swimming pool, to balls for fetching, to seesaws and sandpits. It’s like an animal utopia, and the dogs always have a blast.
This school bus might make life easier for the owners, but the focus is all about the pets. “If the dogs can’t make it for whatever reason, I hate the thoughts of them sitting at home all day bored or in a crate when they could be here playing,” explained a worker from Good Hands. So I said, ‘We’ve got to go get them!'”
This is such an amazing way to make sure animals are getting the exercise and attention they need throughout the day. The daycare even celebrates doggie birthdays and other holidays.
Sometimes, parents send their pup with a backpack full of his favorite snacks and toys.
These dogs in Cape Breton are lucky enough to get to spend the day with their friends, and they travel there in adorable style. Hopefully, more animal organizations will follow this daycare’s lead.
