Our Facility Model
How Does Your Dog’s Best Days Facilitate Daycare Group Play?
To ensure the safety and comfort of our Daycare members, our play groups are comprised of dogs who share similar size, temperaments, and play styles. They are always supervised by staff that have completed Your Dog’s Best Days training program and are experts at what they do.
Why Do You Offer All Day Play?
At Your Dog’s Best Days the safety and well-being of our members is our top priority. We want your furry family member to enjoy socialization and stimulation.

Yes! You can easily add grooming to your dog’s daycare or boarding visit. It’s a convenient way to save time while keeping your pet clean and fresh. Just let us know when you book, and our Tulsa grooming team will handle everything so your pup goes home looking and feeling great.
What if My Dog Is Nervous or Hates Grooming?
We understand that some dogs get anxious about grooming. Our Tulsa groomers use gentle handling, calming voices, and a slow approach to help each dog feel safe. We never rush the process and take breaks as needed. Every session is focused on comfort, trust, and a stress-free experience for your pet.
What’s Included in a Full Groom?
A full groom includes a bath, brush, haircut or trim, ear cleaning, and nail trimming. Optional add-ons like teeth brushing or de-shedding are also available. Each session is customized to your dog’s coat and comfort level, so they leave our Tulsa grooming salon clean, healthy, and happy.

How Long Does a Grooming Appointment Take?
Most grooming sessions take about 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your dog’s size, coat condition, and chosen services. Smaller breeds usually take less time, while larger or long-coated dogs need extra attention. We’ll give you an estimated pickup time when you drop your dog off at our Tulsa salon.
How Our Memberships Work
Do I Have to Be a Member to Utilize Your Dog’s Best Days?
Your Dog’s Best Days is a membership-based facility, so all pups and their humans must be registered as a member in order to join us for daycare or overnight boarding stays. Our membership-based model allows us to accurately control our capacity and gives us the unique opportunity to learn our pups on a more personal level, helping us to provide the best care possible.
How Does My Membership Work?
All packages are monthly, recurring every 30 days from the day you sign up. For example, if your membership is activated on the 10th of the month, then every month going forward on the 10th your package will auto-renew. Your last day to utilize passes for the month would then be the 9th, and on the 10th you will be charged for a fresh set of days.
What Happens to Unused Days Once My Membership Renews?
Unused days do not roll over, so you must utilize all daycare credits within your 30 day membership cycle.
Can I Adjust My Membership Package?
You’re more than welcome to modify your package – downgrades are applicable once every 60 days, and you can upgrade at any time. When we are on a waitlist for daycare, please note there may be a short delay to process the upgrade as we wait for days to become available. Current members get priority for available days. If you are looking to modify your package, you must let us know before your membership renews. Once a package renews for the month, you cannot change the tier.
Cancellations for boarding within 48 hours will receive full deposit; withing 24 hours 50% of the deposit will be refunded.
How Do I Cancel My Membership?
All packages are subject to our 30 day cancellation notice policy. Once we receive your cancellation request, you will have one final renewal day in which we will process your last invoice. You can utilize services for this final month, and you won’t be charged again. There are no exceptions to the final invoice, so we kindly ask that you let us know well in advance if you need to cancel.
Do I Need to Schedule My Dog’s Reservations in Advance?
We ask that you make reservations in advance for, both daycare and boarding, to ensure our team knows to expect you. Spots are not guaranteed for pups who arrive without a reservation – if we have hit our capacity for the day and you arrive without a reservation, we will unfortunately be unable to take your pup.
How Do I Make Reservations?
Reservations can be made through our member portal, or by contacting our facility directly via email or phone. You will receive an email confirmation for all requested reservations that will tell you if the reservation has been accepted or rejected. If for any reason the reservation is rejected, the email will state the reason why (expired vaccinations, facility is full, etc.).
I Tried to Make a Reservation but the System Gave Me an Error – Can I Still Come In?
The system will not allow you to make a reservation if we have hit our capacity. If you receive an error message, that means we have hit our cap and we do not have room for your pup.
The Facility Is Full. Is There a Waitlist I Can Be Placed On?
We do have a waitlist for daycare and boarding spots – in order to be placed on the list, you must contact our facility directly.
I Forgot I Made a Reservation and I Didn’t Show Up! What Happens to My Reservation?
Since we operate on the basis of our capacity, we ask that you please cancel any unneeded reservations by 8AM on the day of check-in. If we do not receive a cancellation request by 8 AM and you do not drop off for the remainder of the day, we will count this as a No Call/No Show. Every member gets one free No Call/No Show in which they will receive a courtesy call from our team. After the first time, a credit will be deducted for members who No Call/No Show on a day they have reserved. Cancellations for boarding within 48 hours will receive full deposit; within 24 hours, 50% of the deposit will be refunded.
