D is for Doggy

D is for Doggy is the best daycare to send your dog on the UWS, hands down! My Shih Tzu, Ruby, has been going there ever since we moved to the neighborhood and LOVES it.\n\nIt’s a convenient location that’s open long hours, the facility is always clean, the staff is AWESOME and they make it easy to just drop your dog off for the day without having to book in advance.\n\nRuby has made so many friends and you can tell the staff genuinely care for all the dogs and are so loving and attentive. It’s great to be able to check in via the live stream and enjoy email updates as well. A special shout out to the team for their “dog of the week” and birthday celebrations!\n\nI highly recommend for anyone looking for a daycare on the UWS. 😃

We’ve been sending our dog Stella to daycare once a week and board her occasionally when we travel. Stella has a great time there and is so excited when we drop her off she immediately runs into the daycare and off with the employees. She always looks so happy when D is for doggy sends us pictures of her. We also love the cageless overnight boarding so she can have company at night.

This is the happy place for my dog Blue he is been in training since he is 10 weeks old to become my service dog. His socialization skills are upmost in order he gains his qualifications for been recognize from ADA and at the same time he will never be a puppy again and D for Doggy at Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side was a recommendation from his trainer and a pet fellow parent. Blue absolutely love D for Doggy love the attention, care and tender love of all the staff pouring to him. They are on top of the little pretty things as his first baby tooth came out and his first Halloween picture! I am grateful to all the staff for the caring and love to my puppy he always came home happy and tired of play all day with his fellow friends. Thank you

Wow! That is all I can say...I have been to the 6th ave location(waiting for the uws location,my neighborhood,to open since i got Lucy), which was great for my Pup. I took her there at 10 weeks old from her first training class to her first puppy cut. Now at 5 months old and a 6 day trip planned i had to board her...Scared ****less i left her there and could not be happier. The staff, just like the other locations were awesome! I got tons of photos(see below) sent to me, checked her out on the web cam when i was gone, saw her reach celebrity status on their fb page lol. Highly recommend!

We have gone to D Is For Doggy ever since we've had our dog. That's almost seven years running. The reason we keep coming back (even after we moved apartments farther away from our regular location) is because our dog LOVES it there. Every time we even mention daycare to him, he understands where he's going and loses his mind.\n\nThe staff is wonderful. The facility is great. And a nice perk are the frequent photos shared of our dog while he's there. They also have Nest cams in their room so you can check in on your dog if you have any doubts.\n\nWhile we don't live in the city anymore, when we do come in and need daycare, there's only one place we go. It's worth it.
