A friendly stay during the day, home with you at night!
We have implemented a unique day care system, so your pup can spend as much time outdoors as possible. The day campers at the Bed and Biscuit spend the day running, playing, and socializing in supervised playgroups. We have a brand new 1500 sq’ climate-controlled club house to play in if the weather chases us inside, otherwise we spend the day on our three separate grassy play yards, totaling 1 acre, fenced around with 8’ high security fence, and includes a 2500 sq’ covered outdoor area for those rainy or snowy days. If you have an energetic, playful dog who loves to be outside or a smaller, calmer pup who rather spend the time indoors, this is the place for you. The dogs will be given several rest times in their private enclosures between the play sessions. By rotating play time and rest time, we ensure dogs are never overly tired or stressed. Because each dog’s personality and play style is different, that is why we are dividing them into small groups of 6-8, sometimes more, but no more than 12. This allows us to give the dogs a lot more personal attention and a lot smaller dog per handler ratio. Groups of dogs are alternated throughout the day so each group gets individualized attention and activity when they are out and quality rest time when they are not. Each play session lasts at least 30-40 minutes mostly outdoors, which is typically the length of time most dogs can play before needing to rest.

How can I sign up?
Because safety is our #1 priority, all dogs are required to attend an evaluation day before attending daycare. The evaluation day is designed to assess a new dog’s potential for aggressive behavior. In addition, it serves to determine the current level of social development to ensure that the dog is not fearful and can play well with others, without posing a danger to itself or others. You can schedule an evaluation day by filling out our daycare reservation form, after you submit your reservation the membership request form will be visible, please fill it out, sign and upload it to your portal. We need this for to know what day(s) of the week you are planning to attend. Upon confirmation, you can drop off your pup 7-9 am and the pick-up is 4:30 – 6:00 pm, the cost is $45.00.
What days will your daycare be closed this year and why the membership fee is the same for every month?
The Club will be closed on and around the following holidays in 2024:
NY State school recess: Monday, 2/19 to Friday, 2/23
Easter weekend: Friday, 3/29 and Monday 4/1
Memorial Day weekend: Friday, 5/24 to Tuesday 5/28
Independence Day weekend: Monday, 7/1 to Friday 7/5
Labor Day weekend: Thursday, 8/29 to Monday, 9/2
Thanksgiving weekend: Wednesday, 11/27 to Friday, 11/29
Christmas break: Friday, 12/20 to Friday 1/3/2025.
Our monthly membership fees were calculated with these closures in mind and will be the same every month. Here is the way we are calculating the monthly membership fee: The daily rate for once a week attendees is $40.00, because of the holiday closings during the year we multiply it by 48 weeks instead of 52 ($1920.00) and then we divide it by 12 months ($160.00) for our monthly membership fee of $159.00, the others are calculated the same way, only with a different daily rate.
Please do not hesitate to call us if you have questions about these closures.
Canine Country Club Membership Policies
We require an evaluation day prior to the first visit, which you can schedule on our online booking page. During the evaluation day we will screen your dog for shyness, aggression, proper social skills, food aggression, and make sure they are happy at our place.
Pups who attend day camp on an irregular schedule have the option to pay for a single session if spots are available.
Pups who attend day camp on regularly scheduled days of one day per week up to five days per week benefit from subscribing to the monthly Canine Country Club Membership. Customers are automatically charged on the 1st of each month.
Enrollment requires a credit/debit card to be kept on file and charged monthly on the first day of the month for the upcoming month. There is no cancellation fee or minimum of months to sign up for, but you must cancel your membership by sending an email to bedandbiscuitithaca@gmail.com no later than the 25th day of the current month to avoid being charged for the next month.
Dogs must be scheduled for regular days of attendance at a minimum of one day per week to join the membership program. If a regularly scheduled daycare day must be missed (including inclement weather closings), you may make up the day before the end of the month, depending upon available space. We cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate them on a different day, in that case you will lose that day.
Scheduled closings due to holidays will not be considered toward total usable Membership days for the month. These days are listed on our website at BedAndBiscuitIthaca.com so that you can plan ahead. Please check these days, because they are different every year. The monthly membership fee was calculated with these holiday breaks in mind and will be the same for all twelve months.
Unused days are non-refundable and non-transferable from month to month or to a different dog under separate ownership. Dogs enrolled in the membership who are boarding will receive daycare services during their scheduled daycare days instead of the regular boarding activity package and will only be charged the overnight lodging fee for the day, on not scheduled daycare days they will receive the boarding activity package that was picked for them by their owners.
Additional days outside of the total usable Membership days for the month may be purchased at a discounted rate based on your weekly attendance. Payment for extra days must be paid on the day it is used.
If plans prevent Fido from attending during a month, your membership can be placed on hold and Fido’s place can be saved for $100 fee.
Membership also includes guaranteed, last minute boarding reservations, even during holidays.
