My girlfriend and I love our daycare, they told me today the price will go up next month. Right now we are paying $26.50 per visit from 6:30am-6:30pm. Every time Luna goes there and comes back she's so tired from playing with all the other dogs. Luna waste more energy at daycare than any of us can take out of her. Luna doesn't even jump on people when she comes home, but I don't think we can continue to pay with the price increase.

New year they will charge 35 bucks. My friend told me doggy daycare in Boston are really expansive compared to Rhode Island and I wanted to know I'm not the only struggling with it.

We might just need get another husky or malamute so they can tire each out

Can you buy a pack of visits so it brings the price down? Prices here are around $30/day (with a full wash - yay!) but the price goes down to $22.50/day when you buy a 20 pack (enough for a full month - 5 days/week). Can you send her just a couple days a week? Like Tuesday and Thursday to tire her out?

We thought about that, we can buy a pack, but you must use it by the end of each month. Some days my girlfriend doesn't go to work she will stay with Luna. We don't want to day for something we not going to use. That's why we decide on per visit:(

Here in los angeles its 20 dollars for all day up until they close.

I get a discount (10% off) at our daycare for being a student, and having multiple dogs, so I get $2 off the second dog, and $3 of the third but I pay...

Full Day (7:00am to 5:30pm) - $21.00 per dog
Half Day (up to 5 hours) - $13.00 per dog

I guess ours is really cheap, I usually only do a half day so it runs me $34 a day.

At the one I work at it's $12-$16 per day depending on the weight of your dog. Overnight is $22-$26 and overnight dogs get a bath before going home. In the summer time, daycare dogs get to go swimming too!

For a small state Rhode Island is surely expansive

We have Yappy Days Friday and Mondays, and with a military discount, it's 17$ for a full day for my two (together). Other days it'd be $17 each.

In Portland, OR, it's $18 for 5 hours, $21 for a full day at a top notch day care.

At the top notch Board and Train Facility around here, which has a very big, well staffed daycare, it costs $20 for a Half day (7am-Noon), or $30 for a full day (Till 7pm).

I let my training clients do daycare here for $25 for whatever the day is for them. Its not super common, I don't actively board or even like to train dogs at the kennel-home.

Here in Charleston it's $15 for half a day, $20 for a full day. My dogs have never been though since I'm a SAHM.

I pay $20 a day full and $15 half day.. I don't take my puppies much lately.

I actually looked this up in Montreal out of curiosity, looks like it runs 25-30$ per day for a full day. One of them lists at $15 but is in a sketch part of town and has no photos......don't think I would leave my girls there...lol

Our daycare charges $20 for half day and $35 for full day.

My PetSmart charges about $15 for a half day and $22 for a full day (7.30am to 9pm)

I used to live in Providence ;-) I miss it there!

Anyway, there are a couple daycare options out here in the Chicago burbs. One is open from 6am until 8pm M-Th and 6am until 10pm Fri/Sat. They charge $5.00 per hour, or it is $15.00 up to 6 hours, and $20.00 from 6-8 hours, and $25.00 up to 10 hours.

There is one that closer to me that charges $15.00 from 1-4 hours, and $20 for 4+ hours, but they are only open from 8:30am-6pm.

Both of them offer a 10% discount if you pay for a whole week, so for me to have both of my dogs at daycare would be $150-200 per week!

What do you mean? That sounds SUPER legitimate, AND at such a bargain... lol.

The place we go to for training offers daycare for $20 a day, drop off at 7AM and pick up by 6PM. They are awesome and let them play outside all day but it's a small home run place. The more commercial daycare charges about $35 and I'm not sure the hours there.

So I looked it up as well. Closer to the city of Columbia it's $22-25 a day. A little further out it is $12-15 a day.
