SeasideK9s is owned and operated by a veteran and a teacher who are commited to humane K9 care! We take pride in providing our pups a structured day of fresh air, exercise and socialization. Since our pack is small, we can focus on what every pup needs to be successful during their time with us!
INDIVIDUALIZED PET CARE
SeasideK9s is a dog retreat that specializes in accommodating dogs of all breeds and personalities. We have a team of skilled staff who are knowledgeable in reading canine body language and providing structured introductions for new dogs. SeasideK9s also utilizes multiple dog training methods, such as positive reinforcement, clicker training, luring, shaping, and capturing. The staff at SeasideK9s believe that all dogs thrive when they are set up for success, which is why we reinforce behavior expectations for each individual dog in a positive and constructive way. This creates a safe and welcoming environment for all dogs, where they can feel comfortable to be their best selves.
We maintain a maximum staff-to-dog ratio of 1:15 at all times, in line with industry best practices.
CANINE ENRICHMENT
SeasideK9s is committed to providing a comprehensive and well-rounded experience for dogs by incorporating canine enrichment into all services. This approach focuses on the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of every dog, ensuring that every pup stays happy and engaged throughout their stay at our seaside retreat. The five types of enrichment offered at SeasideK9s include: social, occupational, sensory, nutritional, and physical. Just like humans, dogs need a variety of activities to keep them happy and engaged. All enrichment is tailored to each dog’s individual needs, preferences, and abilities which ensures a personalized and enjoyable experience for every pack member. Our holistic approach to dog care results in a happier, healthier, and better-adjusted dog during their stay with us and when they return home to you!
COMFORT & CONSISTENCY
SeasideK9s is a newly renovated dog retreat with an interior of 1,800 square feet in addition to 12,000 square feet of fully fenced outdoor space. Your pup has access to multiple play spaces, inside and out, which enables us to separate playgroups by size, temperament, and canine preferences. Inspired by cozy home environments, our indoor and outdoor spaces are furnished with comfortable furniture and bedding that enable dogs to rest in between scheduled activities. The interior is climate controlled and the HVAC system is outfitted with AerapyⓇ UV Disinfection Technology which kills 99.9% of tested virus and bacterial pathogens. The combination of our rigorous cleaning protocols and AerapyⓇ units ensures your pup is kept healthy and safe from the spread of bacteria and communicable diseases. SeasideK9s believes that dogs thrive on routine and structure which is why we have a daily schedule for enrichment, feeding, and rest periods in order to create consistency and security for all pups.
Your pup’s health and safety is our priority! Our team has over 30 years of combined experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. We are all certified in animal first aid and CPR, and trained in medication administration including daily injections for insulin and IV fluids. As a result, we are equipped to handle dogs with various medical conditions and are prepared to respond quickly and calmly in case of any emergency.
We require all pack members to be up to date on vaccinations including rabies, distemper, and bordetella. We also strongly recommend canine influenza, lyme, and leptospirosis vaccines for social and active pups living in the New England area. Although vaccines are never 100% effectives, they minimize transmission of highly contagious diseases that can spread to other pets and humans.
Our facility is equipped with AerapyⓇ UV Disinfection Technology which kills 99.9% of tested virus and bacterial pathogens. We clean and sanitize our interior and exterior spaces with germicidal cleaner and disinfectant. The combination of our rigorous cleaning protocols and AerapyⓇ units ensures your pup is kept healthy and safe from the spread of bacteria and communicable diseases.
We take all possible precautions to ensure maximum health and safety for all of the pups and the humans who care for them.
At SeasideK9s our pups spend most of their time playing together. The new facility has many different indoor and outdoor spaces for play in bigger and smaller groups. Staff closely supervise, photograph, and facilitate interactions between all dogs, while also teaching and reinforcing prosocial behaviors.
One of the primary benefits of day camp is the opportunity for pups to interact and socialize with other K9s. This exposure helps them develop essential social skills, become more confident, and learn how to communicate effectively. Regular physical activity is also crucial for a dog’s overall health and well-being. Dogs who stay overnight sleep better after a day full of cognitive, physical, and social enrichment.
