    Safety at Dogs dig It

    The safety of your pup is our top priority at Dogs Dig It.  Below are just a few of the many ways we keep dogs safe while at Dogs Dig It.

    Meet & Greets

    We require all of our new dogs to complete what we call a meet & greet. This short visit gives your dog a chance to checkout DDI, explore our space, smell all the scents, meet other dogs and check out our large outdoor play yards.  It is important that your dog likes dog daycare and enjoys spending time at DDI. 

    When a dog is uncomfortable, shows sings of dislike or displays high levels of anxiety while at DDI,  interactions with other dogs can be complicated and have the potential to become a safety situation.  We understand not all dogs like dog daycare, when that's the case we help you figure out other solutions that better fit your dog's personality and needs.

    Cleaning & Disinfecting Process

    We have an extensive and very thorough daily cleaning process.  Throughout the day, we are constantly cleaning and disinfecting our equipment, kennel & yard areas, anything the dogs are touching, eating/drinking from or relieving on.  We do this with a canine safe chemical called Top-Performance 256, specifically made for daycares & kennels, and that kills over 50 different viruses. At night we spray everything down again with a chlorine-based cleaning system called Wysiwash. All of our food and water bowls are washed & soaked in bleach.   

    Our Professional Staff Team

    Dogs Dig It's supportive, inclusive company culture and high regard for safety attracts Portland's most talented dog handlers. Our dedicated, colorful team of dog geeks have over 30 plus years of dog care experience in a variety of settings, such as vet care, dog training and other boarding and daycare businesses.. Because safety is one of our core values we make sure to discuss safety, its importance and assess our daily operations regularly to make sure we meet our standards or if there a need for improvement.
