Dog Daycare in Longville, LA
A full day of fresh air in wide-open country play yards with splash pads, kiddie pools and playgrounds, in playgroups of 8 or fewer matched by size and temperament. Prefer a quieter day? Private Daycare gives your dog their own space and one-on-one play.
Your dog's first day of daycare is free. No blackout dates. New dogs only.

Dogs Who Can't Wait to Come Back
I loved getting pictures, updates, and the fact that she had enough space to run her high energetic Aussie zoomies out!
I always know Izzy will be well cared for and loved! She loves Dana.
Pups came home well groomed and worn out from lots of play time; highly recommend.
Daycare Questions, Answered
What families ask before their dog's first play day in Longville. Tap a question to open it.
How much does dog daycare cost in Longville?
Group Daycare is $20/day and Private Daycare is $25/day. New dogs get their first day free, with no blackout dates.
How do you keep group play safe?
Every dog gets a temperament check on their first day. We introduce them to other dogs slowly and carefully to get a feel for their playgroup preferences. Playgroups are matched by size and temperament and capped at 8 dogs. Our team includes Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified staff.
Does my dog need to be spayed or neutered?
For Group Daycare, yes. Intact dogs are welcome in Private Daycare, where they get their own space and one-on-one playtimes with a Bark Ranger.
What if my dog doesn't get along with other dogs?
Not every dog loves a crowd, and that's okay. If a dog shows disruptive or aggressive behavior, we'll move them out of group play. Private Daycare lets them enjoy our yards, playgrounds and toys on their own.
What are drop-off and pickup times?
Anytime between 8am and 6pm, every day. Mornings and evenings are our busiest times, so it's a big help if you can drop off and pick up between 10am and 4pm. After-hours pickup is available for an additional fee with advance notice. We're closed for drop-off and pickup on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What should I bring?
Nothing at all, as long as we have your dog's vaccine records. If your dog eats midday, send pre-portioned food, and bring any treats or medications they need. Please label everything with your dog's name.
Can you give my dog medication?
Yes, at no extra charge. Please bring medications in their original containers with clear instructions. If we have any questions, we'll reach out so your pup gets the care they need every time.
What vaccines are required?
Current Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP. The easiest way to send records is to text a photo to (337) 317-3659 or email longville@barksandwildlife.com.
What if my dog gets sick or hurt during daycare?
We'll call you first, then your emergency contact if we can't reach you. If your dog needs care right away, we may provide first aid or take them to a veterinarian. Vet costs are the owner's responsibility.
Can I add grooming to a daycare day?
Yes. Add a bath, trim or full groom and your dog goes home fresh. See grooming options and prices.
