Dog Zoos

A trend I’ve been seeing over the past few years is the development of what I refer to as dog zoos. 

What started out as kennels with playgrounds turned into doggie daycares. Doggie daycares are now morphing into these zoos.

The first ones I heard about were overseas. They consist of giant facilities, almost like a dog Disneyland, with dogs running around and the people walking around getting services almost like they are on a cruise ship.

I understand that people want their dogs to have a full and good life, but these kinds of environments are not natural for the dogs. I don’t recommend doing things that are abnormal, and almost impossible, for most dogs to process. These will come to the US; maybe they are already here...

Plan accordingly.
