What is Doggie Playcare at Cedarcrest Animal Hospital?

Our mission is to provide your dog with a safe and healthy play environment to enrich their spirit and increase their social skills, offer an off-leash area to exercise their body and give hours of play to stimulate their mind.

Drop-in and Play, Anytime

At Cedarcrest Animal Hospital, we provide the best environment for your dog to socialize and feel safe. Our playful environment is a result of dogs getting to know each other during repeated visits. This occurs by reducing the stress of meeting new and unfamiliar dogs every day, no different from the increased comfort level you feel once you become more familiar with new friends. *All-weather rain or shine. A large playroom building has been added which is covered and heated during the winter.
