We have puppy playground equipment, swimming pools, and shade mats installed for your dog's comfort outside. - We do not leave your dog in a group all day. It is important that he gets **rest time throughout the day**, so we rotate your dog from playgroup to naptime, throughout the day. - We offer the opportunity to add overnight boarding to your dog's visit, should you get **stuck at work or suddenly have a dinner invitation**. - We **actually stay here overnight with the dogs**; something that not many kennels do! - And if you do not want your dog to participate in any play sessions, but just need a **safe place for him to hang out** while you work, your dog will still get just as much time outside as every other dog; he just goes into a separate pen with a ball or a Kong toy, and we rotate a person into the pen to play with him or just to snuggle. # Vaccine Requirements Please provide us with a copy of your dog's medical records and any updates that need to be made to your dog's file with us. Make sure that your dog meets our requirements: - At least 8 weeks old - A current** Rabies Certificate **for dogs over 6 months old. - **Negative fecal** exam (for new dogs joining us, we require this within the last 3 months, after that only yearly) - Up-to-date on regular shots (**we do accept titers**) ![](https://www.geminidogs.com/hs-fs/file-16197433-gif/images/daycare.gif)   ## So what will your dog's day look like? ## We offer drop offs and pick ups any time between 6am and 10pm. Playgroups begin at 9am and run for 30 minutes at a time.  Dogs are placed in playgroups of no more than 12 similarly-sized dogs with similar playstyles.  Staff are always physically present in the play yards to supervise the playgroups at all times. When not in a playgroup, your dog gets nap time to rest and recharge for the next group, giving them a break from the stimulation of playtime. You can provide whatever, treats, toys, and bedding you'd like your pup to have during their nap times, as long as they are crate safe.  You can provide your dog with meals for the day. We feed breakfast upon arrival, lunch at noon, and dinner at 5pm.  ![Gemini Dog Daily Schedule](https://www.geminidogs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gemini%20Dog%20Daily%20Schedule.png?width=600&name=Gemini%20Dog%20Daily%20Schedule.png)   ### *Please note* ## Please note we are not currently accepting new dogs who are/will be over 30 lbs when fully grown.
