We’ve been in the North Seattle neighborhood since 1998!
Our facility includes two large indoor playrooms with rubber flooring, two outdoor areas, and several smaller play spaces. Check out our Facebook or Instagram pages to see the happy faces of our doggy clients!
The following questions will check if your dog is ready for a daycare trial day, and let you know what to do if you aren't ready.
Our aim is to help you and your dog, so there'll be an option to get some general advice from us at the end, if Fuzzy Buddy's isn't the right place for you yet.

We focus on keeping dogs healthy in daycare. This protects your dog from catching anything, or anything messy or dangerous occurring if your dog is unwell or unhealthy.
Call us on (206) 782-4321 or via email at reservations at fuzzybuddys.com if any of these checks are unclear to you. In all cases your vet should no what they mean and be able to advise you if your dog is good to go.
It can be unsafe to have your dog playing with others if they are obese. We need your vet to clear it first
