We are planning a trip to visit friends in Chapel Hill. Thinking of bringing our dog, and wondering if there are any good doggie day cares in Chapel Hill or surrounding area? Thought it might be fun for her to play while we go out to lunch.
We currently live in the Charleston, SC area and the day cares here leave a LOT to be desired. Several dogs have died at a couple of them. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my dog at any of them.
So would want something with a good reputation, clean, enough staff, CPR-trained staff, high fences, where the dogs are let out to play and supervised properly, not kept shut in their "room" inside. If the day care is attached to a vet, even better.
You could look at Green Beagle Lodge. I don't know what their situation is for a lunch time deal (not sure if you can just pop in for a couple of hours or if you have to do all day). It's pretty swank, with a 0º entry pool, multiple play yards, etc, and has the price to match.
There are also a lot of dog-friendly restaurants with outdoor seating in the area, too.
You could take her to Weaver Street Market and get something to eat from the cafe there and eat outside. You'll see all kinds of dogs there including hounds. I have a pointer mix myself. Here's a thread with pictures: //www.city-data.com/forum/ralei...zz-brunch.html
There are other doggie daycares in the area, too, but I really am not an expert on them. I have been to Green Beagle and seen the facility and it is pretty swank. We haven't actually used it, but some friends board their dog there. We've got some dog parks in the area, too, if you just want to run off some steam.
My dogs go to Pet Wagon in Durham regularly. It's very clean, very well run, and my dogs (a large active young dog and an elderly small dog) both love it.
Thanks, great suggestions. Dog park might be a good idea to get some energy out if it's not too hot.
Are the dog parks in Chapel Hill? Do you know how high the fences are? Only ask because our dog is a jumper and can scale a 4', possibly even 5' fence.
We have some dog parks here, but can't use them because the fences are only 4'.

Mine too!
I am very, very picky about who takes care of my dog (because my dog can be moody) - Pet Wagon watches them very closely and separates them into groups appropriate by temperament and size. It's not in Chapel Hill but is on that side of Durham.
