Howl-A-Day Inn Doggy Daycare of Cape Cod

This has the makings of a good place, but… they do not want dogs with ANY issues and as we know most dogs have issues… the male owner is a nice guy but the girl who has been there for a long time is a royal b!#ch. I was pretty much asked to never come back with my dog, her issues are easy to deal with but they did not want to deal with them.
Too bad, fire the nasty girl and get someone who really cares about dogs and you may have a nice place, but until then i am done !!!

We were on the Cape with Our puppy Izzy and realized that some of what we wanted to do would’ve just been too hard to do with her. The staff at Howl-​a-​Day were so helpful and nice. We had a great, worry-​free experience. Thank you!

My pup loves this place. Staff is nice & friendly. $ 28/​per day. They do have packages & extras (walks, grooming).

My pup Gertie loves this place. I brought her last Friday for daycare for the first time and today when I went to drop her off it was apparent she was delighted to be there. Since the alternative is spending the day in the crate with someone visiting her for a half hour on lunch break, I’d be delighted to be in day care too. The staff brushed her coat, her teeth, and groomed her front claws. She’s a jumper, so I am very grateful that she won’t be ripping her claws on my dresses anymore.
Prior to attending daycare, she had to undergo a temperament assessment and the staff was very accommodating to set up the visit with their person that does the assessment.
They have strict vaccination requirements (Rabies, Kennel Cough, Distemper and K-​9 Flu) and I had some difficulty finding a vet that did the K-​9 flu shot, but once she had the first in the series of two, I provided the paperwork to Howl a Day and she was good to go.
When I picked her up the first day, I received a full report from the staff about how well she adjusted and that she made friends with everyone. I am glad this place is near my work and that they employ such thoughtful, caring staff.

Our 40 lb. lab mix has been attending Howl a Day Inn since April 2012 (when he was 15 weeks old) and every moment has been a joy!
The staff is overly attentive, they are always kind and I know they treat him well. My puppy comes home exhausted each day and loves hanging out with the HADI staff and his HADI friends. He attends approximately 1−2x per week and is always cared for and looked after properly.
They are very strict on their vaccine requirements, which I appreciate as I don’t want my little guy to catch anything unpleasant while he’s playing. They always give them a thorough once over every day. They once caught a tiny little wart in his mouth before I did and I was able to alert the vet right away due to their attentiveness!
We only had one instance in which an employee was rude over a year ago. I immediately emailed Susan, the owner, with my cause for concern and the issue was immediately cleared up. It was a miscommunication on both parts and the staff reacted quickly and responded in a way that made us feel respected.
As a local Cape Codder, I would recommend this place any day! The staff is attentive, the facility is clean and our pup loves every moment of «daycare days.»
Go visit Susan, Bailey & the HADI staff soon.

Made arrangements prior my visit to cape cod to have my american eskimo spend the day while we went whale watching. I was told to bring copy of immunization records and registration tags. When we got to Hyannis, we called to verify the arrangements and were told «there has to be a meet and greet first». We set up the meet and greet for the following morning and told the girl we had original vaccination paperwork from the vet and his renewed tags. Later that day as we were leaving our bed and breakfast, we saw the howl-​a-​day van pull into the parking lot. I went to introduce myself and the rudest person ever told me «my dog was not allowed at their facility»!! She also stated that without the canine flu vaccine, my dog would not be allowed at the facility. I was shocked and explained we had spoken to their facility 3 times and no one had ever made mention of the canine flu vaccine nor that my 22lb american eskimo was on a do not take list! I further explained that I had told them the breed and size numerous times at which she replied «that was a weekend employee»…
I never heard from the owner, there was never a meet and greet and I would NEVER put my dog in a facility that treats ANYONE with this lack of respect! I don’t care that it was a weekend person, they should have all the proper information when a client calls.
Save your money and use another faciltiy or find an in room babysitter as we were forced to do!
