It’s important to remember that every dog is different and may have different needs when it comes to being left alone. Some dogs may be more independent and able to handle being alone for longer periods of time, while others may require more frequent attention. In general, dogs are social animals and need interaction and stimulation, and being left alone for long periods of time can lead to boredom, anxiety, and destructive behaviour.
If you do need to leave your dog alone for a full day, we recommend looking into dog care services such as doggy daycare, where your dog can socialise and play with other dogs while you’re away.

Of course! Puppies can often join dog daycare as soon as they reach 12 weeks old and have had all their vaccinations, including Kennel Cough. However, some daycares may have a different minimum age requirement, so always check beforehand. Socialisation is vital for puppies, and doggy daycare can be a great way for them to learn to interact with other dogs (and humans!) in a safe, supervised environment.
Puppies can join the daycare creche family at Suffolk Dog Town as soon as they’re fully vaccinated, including for DHPP, Lepto & Kennel Cough. We also offer additional dog care services specifically for puppies, to help your puppy become a social, well-rounded pup as soon as possible. These include positive reward-based puppy training classes in association with Dog Training College, and fun, weekly puppy socialisation sessions.
