Adventures in Doggie Daycare (WE)
common sense media says
Exotic meals, spa treatment ... and chew toys.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, aside from exposing kids to the lavish lifestyles of pampered pets, there's nothing to worry about in this reality series. Young viewers will no doubt be as entertained as their parents will by the lengths to which some dog owners go to ensure their pets are happy -- parents should just remind kids that doggie acupuncture and fur-lined canine sweaters aren't for everyone. Young kids may also need some explanation about dog behavior (like playful biting or wrestling) and the staff's methods of bathing, grooming, and giving medicine to nervous dogs.
Violence & scariness:
Some scenes show playful scuffles among dogs.
Sexy stuff:
Not applicable.
Language:
Very rare use of "ass" (as in "kick some ass").
Consumerism:
The Downtown Dog Lounge gets lots of publicity, and its clients get a lot of extravagant, expensive pampering
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
A few scenes show beer cans or mixed drinks sitting on tables, but there's no consumption.

Behind the Scenes
There is a web site that tells you what really happens behind the scenes. It's not all fun and half the statistics given on the show are not accurate. On a recent visit to the Downtown Dog Lounge, just walking though, there was one person in a play area with over 40 dogs. Not safe. Just looks at this web site.

Grooming is a joke
My name is Gennifer and I am a proffesional groomer and the owner of a daycare and grooming shop. i would never allow my groomers to send a dog home ungroomed (unbrushed) however it seems to be a practice that you allow. I hope that you explaine to "Riggs" mom that by not brushing the dog that in six weeks here beautiful goldendoodle will be hairless. Experince is key when grooming dogs. Six wek courses in grooming to not make a good groomer. And for the little mix that your groomer laid on should not have been put on tv without futher explanation to the public, you need to keep in mind that people who are not groomers have no idea why that was required. . There was no reason why that dog should have left your facility with mats in the ears and his top knot looking the way that it looked. I have been grooming for 10 years and in my experince I would NEVER take any of my dogs to a place that would send a dog home unfinished. Your daycare is wonderful. Thank you for your time.. Gennifer owner of Smelly Dog Spa and Bakery Chesterfield MO.

This woman is an insane unprofessional....
With a fair number of years in canine rescue under my belt, I rank this awful, awful show just one notch (perhaps) above the WORST dog show on TV (the "Whisperer" charlatan), only because this one is not even pretending to train dogs. No, for this one it seems to be enough to put them in constant danger..., leadh laws at a national park? Ignore them! Dogs unsupervised in "playgroups" (HATE that concept!) of 20 dogs or more? It's ok, you can run in screaming from the next room when you hear a ruckus. I sincerely hope no one is usingthis awful, unprofessional idiot's business as a "what-to-look-for" guide when they need to board their dogs.... I'd say it should be used more along the lines of that film they showed us in Driver's Ed, with all the mangled bodies in head-on collisions, that was supposed to scare us into driving carefully....

I freakin love this show!
I love dogs, I have four huge rescues of my own, so of course, even tho I live in a rural place, I pamper my own dogs because there is no place to take them for that kind of wonderful treatment. Thanks to Adventures in Doggie Daycare, it inspired me to open my own cage free doggie daycare in my area. I meet with the business consultant next week. Wish me luck... woof woof!!!

Loved it!
I was quite entertained by this show. I have to hand it to Elise and staff for handling the pooches and their owners so well. Staff reminds me of the cast of one of my fave shows - Northern Exposure. Awesome!
