This report has limited matching data today, so it is kept followable but not promoted as a strong index target until more facilities verify matching details.
Methodology and limitations
Dog-Daycares.com uses canonical facility records, suppresses obvious placeholder fields, and treats missing data as unconfirmed. A facility appearing in this report means the matching signal is present in public data; it does not replace a direct call, tour, or owner verification.
- Why does small-breed separation matter?
- Mixing small and large dogs during open play can raise injury risk for smaller breeds. This page flags facilities that publicly list a separate small-breed space.
- Is this the same as temperament screening?
- No. This tracks physical play-area separation, not behavior screening — see the temperament screening and reactive-dogs reports for those signals.
