Daycare & Play

Daycare & PlayDogs in our care enjoy supervised play, enrichment, and structured socialization in our three large, fully indoor play yards. Every daycare experience at Birmingham Animal Hospital + Resort is thoughtfully designed to support your dog's physical health, emotional well-being, and individual comfort level.

Playgroups and activities are carefully tailored to suit the size, temperament, energy level, and play style of each dog. Whether your dog is energetic and social or prefers calmer, more controlled interaction, our trained team ensures a positive and safe experience.

Our indoor pool offers an additional option for low-impact exercise, confidence-building, and fun in a safe, climate-controlled environment. All daycare and play sessions are fully supervised by experienced staff to promote positive interactions and prevent overstimulation.
