K9 to 5 Doggie Daycare is a cage-free dog day care at 1a Cartwright Road in Kelston, west Auckland. It offers day care, training and grooming. The business says its dogs get ongoing interaction with attendants and other dogs through the day, and are never left unattended. It uses positive reinforcement training, and it offers one-on-one sessions, either to suit a dog's needs or for training while the dog is at daycare. The owner says the business has been running for over 10 years.
Passes are sold as concession cards, valid for 2 months from purchase, and a family pass, valid for 10 weeks. Gold card holders get 10% off all passes. The business holds a tour on the first Saturday of each month, where owners can meet the staff and see the daycare. Its owner has a Bachelor of Science in Animal Management and Welfare and a New Zealand Certificate in Canine Training and Behaviour. Aimee, a long-serving staff member, holds a Pet First Aid and CPR certificate.
