Covid-19

Smarter than your Dog STYD follows CDC guidelines regarding Covid-19

• • Reservations are required for daycare, boarding and grooming.

    • You can make them online. Go to our website and click on reservation at the top http://www.smarterthanyourdog.com/ or go directly to our customer registration on Gingr https://styd.gingrapp.com/front_end/index where you can create a username and password. You may make a reservation request for most services provided by STYD using Gingr.

    • You can email us at info@smarterthanyourdog.com 

    • You can call (360) 293-2155 . Call this number if you have same day reservation requests between 7:00 am to 9:00 am.

  • All customer transactions take place outside. Daycare dogs will transfer care to the staff using the kennel constructed outside the daycare door. Owners escort their dog into the kennel. After securing the door we will collect your dog and have them go directly outside to go potty. This is a safe way to transfer your dog to staff, keeping social distancing while maintaining an outside environment. 

  • Leashes and collars will be removed from the dog and taken home so that we do not retain them inside STYD.

  • For daycare pickup, dogs will be transferred to their owners using the outside kennel. Only one customer is allowed in the kennel at a time. If customers arrive at the same time, please maintain a 6 foot space between customers. 

• Daycare drop off and pick up times:  

• • Drop off is between 7:30 am to 9:00 am 

  • Pick up is between 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

(Doors will be locked from 9-4, but you may pick up your dog at any time during the day. All you have to do is call (360)293-2155 when you are outside the door and we will bring your dog out to you.)

• All staff wear masks. For the safety of all involved, we kindly ask clients to wear masks as well. 

• Our physical space is very conducive to social distancing among staff members. Our facility is 5,000 sq. feet, which allows for easy spacing among staff. With the building’s large roll up doors and high ceiling space we have great air flow quality throughout all our spaces.

• All surfaces within the facility are easy wipe down surfaces which are cleaned daily. 

We are committed to playing our part in slowing the spread of Covid-19 and keeping our staff, dogs and community healthy!
