3. Schedule and attend an evaluation- call us at 317-873-2525 for an appointment.

• Bring all completed enrollment forms to evaluation appointment to avoid rescheduling. We cannot introduce your dog to those at daycare before we have assessed the information on the forms.
• We will evaluate your dog's social behavior by observing his/her reaction when safely introduced to the daycare environment.
• The introduction portion of the evaluation will take approximately 30 minutes. You will need to leave the premises during this time as your dog will react to you being nearby. You might plan to hang out in downtown Zionsville (2 minutes north of us), at Trader's Point shopping center at 86th and Zionsville Rd, or in the shopping area on Michigan Road between 96th and 126th.
• There is a one-time evaluation fee (refer to the Rates page)

• Your dog will be fitted with a required collar that will be kept in his/her file to wear during all daycare and lodging visits. This collar is color-coded by temperment and lets the Dogmates (employees) easily identify each dog's needs during their stay with us. There is a one-time fee for the collar (refer to the Rates page).
• Your dog is now eligible for daycare, but must complete at least one day of daycare before lodging overnight.
• Refer to the page on Daycare and Lodging instructions!
