Today's Trends at Dog Daycare & Boarding Facilities

🐾 What Pet Parents Really Want in 2025

The pet care landscape has transformed dramatically over the past few years, and in 2025, the bar is higher than ever. Pet parents aren’t just looking for a place to drop off their dogs (and cats)—they’re seeking environments that support physical wellness and emotional health.

📈 Industry Spending & Growth

Average annual spending per pet owner:

• Dog owners: $2,524
• Cat owners: $1,499

🧠 Wellness & Enrichment Trends

Mental enrichment is the new exercise: Puzzle toys, scent work, and agility classes are booming.

🧠 Enrichment is Essential

Forget the old playpen model—today’s pet parents see mental stimulation as just as vital as a walk or belly rub.

• Sensory play and scent work are trending tools for calm and confidence building.
• Lick mats and slow feeders are being used to reduce stress during mealtime.
• Agility zones and puzzle stations are becoming industry standards.

Enrichment routines are now expected components of pet wellness. Facilities that offer programs or à la carte enrichment menus stand out.

🔮 The Future of Pet Care is Already Here

Here at Pawesome Pets Country Club, we are already on the cutting edge of this trend! We are a member-only dog daycare, and we offer different enrichment activities each week. We post the entire month’s enrichment activity schedule on our website at the beginning of each month.

In addition:

• Your furry child receives a report card on their first visit. Now you will know if they made friends while at daycare!
• We also LOVE to post pictures of our members enjoying their day. Have you checked out our Facebook page to see all the happy pups (& cats)?
