Hello all! I need some advice on what to do with my dog while I’m at work.
My question is, from a health perspective, is it better for dogs to be at home and go out for walks as needed compared to being at a daycare where they might be surrounded by dogs of unknown health status? While I can pay for care, my priority is to keep my dog as healthy as possible because no matter how much I love her, it’s not an option to take off work for anything short of an absolute emergency (plus, I obviously don’t want her to be sick). Daycare has been for stimulation and socialization but I’m wondering if the nightmare of bodily fluids and constant monitoring of this weekend likely resulting from something she was exposed to while there is going to become a recurring theme 😬. I would rather pay for daily walkers and have some peace of mind that issues like this will be less likely as she is otherwise fully vaccinated and getting monthly preventatives.
