Why Pet Day Care Is Better Than Leaving Your Pet Home Alone

Brisbane pet owners increasingly choose professional day care over leaving their dogs or cats alone at home during the work day. Here’s why:

🐾 Prevents Boredom & Destructive Behaviour

Dogs left alone often develop anxiety, bark excessively, or destroy furniture. A full day of supervised activity and socialisation eliminates these issues.

🏃 Physical Exercise Every Day

Our 5-acre property means your dog can run, sniff, and explore — far more exercise than a backyard or a lunchtime dog walker can provide.

🧠 Mental Stimulation

New smells, socialisation with staff, and a structured routine keep your pet’s mind active and healthy — essential for intelligent breeds.

😌 Peace of Mind for You

Stop worrying about what your pet is up to at home. Know they’re safe, supervised, and having a great day while you work.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pet Day Care Brisbane

How much does pet day care cost in Brisbane?
At Pinelands Pet Motel in Kuraby, dog day care starts from $45/day for small dogs (under 10 kg) and $50/day for large dogs (10 kg+). Cat day care is $30/day. Multi-pet households save $8/day per additional pet, and new clients receive 5% off their first booking.
Is dog day care good for dogs?
Yes — professional dog day care provides physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction that dogs can’t get when left alone at home. At Pinelands, dogs spend the day on 5 acres in Kuraby with supervised outdoor time, rest breaks, and personal attention from experienced staff. Many of our regular day care dogs have noticeably better behaviour and temperament than before they started.
What vaccinations does my pet need for day care?
Dogs require a current C5 vaccination (covers distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and bordetella/kennel cough). Cats require a current F3 vaccination. All pets must also be up to date with flea and parasite treatment. Please bring your vaccination record on your first visit.
Do you offer pet day care for cats as well as dogs?
Yes. Pinelands is one of the few Brisbane pet facilities that offers full-day supervised cat day care alongside dog day care. Cats are housed separately from dogs in comfortable, calm areas and receive the same high standard of care. Cat day care is $30/day.
Can puppies and kittens attend day care?
Puppies and kittens are welcome provided they have completed their full initial vaccination course. For puppies, this means all three rounds of their C5 puppy vaccination. Please contact us to confirm your young pet’s eligibility before booking.
What do I need to bring for day care?
Bring your pet’s own food with written feeding instructions, any daily medications (labelled), and their vaccination record on the first visit. A familiar toy or blanket can help settle nervous pets but is not required. We provide fresh water throughout the day.
Can I book regular weekly day care?
Absolutely. Many of our day care clients book recurring weekly spots — Monday to Friday while they’re at work. You can set up recurring bookings through our online system. Regular clients often tell us their pets become genuinely excited when they realise it’s a day care day.
What’s the difference between day care and overnight boarding?
Day care is a same-day service — drop off from 7 AM, pick up by 6 PM. Overnight boarding includes a full night’s stay. Many clients use day care regularly throughout the week and switch to overnight boarding when they travel. The same experienced team provides both services at Pinelands.
What happens if my pet becomes unwell during day care?
We will contact you immediately and, if necessary, a local veterinarian. Our team is trained to identify signs of distress or illness and to act quickly. We always ask for an emergency contact number when you check in.
What if I need to pick up late?
Our standard day care hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. If you’re running late, please call us as early as possible on (07) 3808 1146. Arrangements for late pick-up or overnight boarding conversion may be possible depending on availability.
Do you have both indoor and outdoor areas?
Yes. Our Kuraby facility includes both shaded outdoor runs and indoor rest areas. On hot Brisbane summer days, we ensure pets have access to cool, shaded environments and adjust activity schedules accordingly.
