Home / Blog / Tips & Tricks / Doodles Goes to Daycare… A Dog’s POV of a Petland Visit
July 12, 2024
It was a bright and early Friday morning when I got the news. I’m going on a daycare visit!
Hi… I’m a Golden Doodle Mini and I’m going to tell you all about my adventure to a place called daycare (for human kids). At first, I didn’t know what to think when my Pet Counselor told me about the place I would be going. She said there would be a bunch of children to snuggle, cuddle and play with! I was very happy and ready… as you can see with my lightning-fast tail waggin’ in my picture!
Being a Petland puppy, I knew I had a job to do… and that’s to love and to be loved by all I meet! And this day was going to be no exception!


I wasn’t nervous one dog’on bit because my kennel mates were tagging along with me… here’s my friends a Cockadoodle and Bernedoodle.
It was a beautiful summer day with a bunch of fresh smells and butterflies floating in the wind… – Distracted puppy Alert – I almost caught one, but it was too quick for my short puppy legs.
It was definitely a sun’s out, tongues out kind of Doodle day!

When we arrived, we could hear the excitement and laughter as the teachers told the children to sit in a circle and shouted, “The puppies are here!”
Wait… that’s us they are talking about!


It was our time to shine!
Oh, the fun we had as we ran around and wagged our tails as fast as we could! The kiddos petted us and gave us the sweetest hugs!
My clumsy kennel mates and I even tumbled over each other as we raced to see who would get the most rubs!
My friend, the Cockadoodle won!
I was a close second and the Bernadoodle… well, he flirted with the teachers too much to care about our ruff race!
The children were so fun to play with and they even gave me a name, Penny! They said I looked like a Penny, whatever that is?! My friends got names too… Apollo and Rufus!
We spent the whole morning with the kids, and they told how they all had been to Petland where they love to not only play with my fellow puppies pals, but hamsters, reptiles and birds too!
As lunch time approached for the kids, (- Distracted puppy Alert – I could smell it… they were having chicken nuggets… yum!) it was time to head back to Petland to eat a snack and take a long nap!
Paw to heart… I swear it was the best dog’on day ever! Now on to my next adventure… finding my forever family!

GOOD Based on 1275 reviews Posted on Pam OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The store was clean. The bettas were not kept in small bowls. They were kept in small aquariums with filtration which is a big improvement over most large pet stores. They had a decent amount of varieties of fish and a really good variety of freshwater plants.Posted on Dale NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog loves it therePosted on Liana QTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They have the cutest cats ever and it’s good behaviorPosted on Ken kTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James was absolutely awesome to deal with the process went pretty easy and they were very thorough about their process and we could not be happier with our little babyPosted on Amy MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We LOVE this pet store! They have dogs and sometimes cats too. They also have bunnies, hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs, mice, birds and a nice selection of fish. Adults and teens are able to get hamsters, mice and rabbits and guinea pigs out and hold them while children pet them as long as you are very careful and use sanitizer before and after handling g them. You can also get a puppy out and they have little designated areas you can spend some time playing with the puppy! We enjoy this as its fairly close and easy to pop in while getting our dog supplies. The only downfall is that it is a pet store and I would recommend rescuing a dog or cat instead of supporting the breeders as thease are full bred dogs from breeders. There are just so many dogs that are already here that need rescued rather then breeding more. But come check it out even just to get your puppy fix or something to do that costs nothing!
