Dog Super Playtime
The dogs get to go into the purpose built and landscaped playgrounds. The dogs can run free and play with up to six other dogs of suitable temperament and size or they can play one-on-one with one of our team members for one to two hours.
Super Playtime: $11 per session

Super Playtime is suited to dogs of all ages. Puppies can play and frolic with other puppies. They can work of that excess energy that all puppies have in a safe and fully enclosed area. Older dogs can get that holiday feeling by visiting new areas and new smells. They can remember what it was like to be a puppy again.
The most common comment that we get from owners is; “My dog won’t want to go home!”
So now your loved family member can have a great holiday like you, so don’t forget to book Super Playtime for your dog.
