- Kim K.
"I couldn’t ask for a more loving and caring place to trust my fur baby with. Their parties are amazing, and their birthday party for the babies are amazing too! I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my furbaby with them knowing she is in safe and loving hands. Thank you all for everything you do! It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!"
- Samantha G.
"The staff is great!!!What stood out to me most...was that they thought about the safety of my dog 1st. Thinking ahead, an employee took my dog into a safe kennel. Only because a larger dog was coming out , and wanted every animal comfortable.  Only after did she explain to the " human" , WHY. That told me everything I needed to know! MY DOG IS SAFE HERE."
- Rae L.
"From the first time I walked through the doors I have been impressed by the open and welcoming atmosphere. I have an older dog and they have been very good about adopting to his needs. The staff is friendly and caring. I look forward to leaving my power in their care knowing he will be treated with love."

Daycare FAQs
Find answers to your questions about our services, policies, and everything Karnik Pet Lodge
What is dog daycare?

A supervised, structured environment where dogs can socialize, play, and engage in activities that promote mental stimulation, reduce anxiety, and support overall happiness. Regular interaction and play improve behavior, boost confidence, and help dogs feel well-balanced.

What is the difference between full and half-day daycare?
  • For drop-off daycare, any stay of over 5 hours is considered a full day, while 5 hours or less is a half day.

  • For lodging dogs, half-day daycare includes group play until around noon, after which dogs return to their suites for rest and relaxation. Full-day daycare includes extended group play throughout the day.

What happens if I do not pick my dog up by the end of the day?

Your dog will be booked for a lodging night (if available) and additional charges will apply.

Will my older dog like dog daycare?

This will depend on your dog. We have several older dogs that love the interaction with other dogs. Part of the way we separate dogs into our various play areas is dependent upon activity level, meaning that a larger, older dog may be placed with other older, mellow dogs of his similar size. The temperament evaluation will also help us, and you, determine if our environment is right for your dog. Our daycare attendants are constantly evaluating each dog’s behavior, and if they view your dog as overwhelmed or tired, they will place your dog back in their room or in a calmer atmosphere. At Karnik Toledo, we also offer private daycare options, which can be a great fit for older dogs.

Do I need to make reservations?

No reservation is needed for daycare as long as your dog is an active group play member. Daycare drop-off is available until 1:00 PM, and we do not offer daycare drop-offs on Sundays.

Do you have daycare packages?

Yes! We offer packages ranging from 5 half days to 30 full days to fit every family’s schedule and budget. Packages never expire—and the more days you buy, the bigger the discount. Call us anytime for details or to purchase.
