Dog-ma doggie daycare is carefully supervised group and individual play for socialized dogs in DC’s only indoor/outdoor facility. Imagine a 7,000 square ft dog park where the pack is screened, your dog knows everyone, and where they play or lounge outside or in, all day long, up to 12 hours a day!

Finally… Did Someone Say "Bath"?

Dogs get dirty. It's a fact of life. At the end of a busy week of daycare, a nice bath is a good thing! Give your pup a wash, condition, rinse and dry on a special occasion or a regular weekly schedule. You'll BOTH go home happy. Cost: $25, $35, or $45, based on breed and/or size.
