As a pet owner in Lehman, you know our community is a special place for dogs. With the beautiful Back Mountain Trail and local parks, our pups have room to roam. But when work calls or a day trip to the Poconos is on the calendar, a reliable dog daycare can be a lifesaver. Understanding the local pricing landscape is key to finding the perfect fit for your budget and your furry friend's needs.

In the Lehman area, you'll find that dog daycare prices typically range from $25 to $40 per day. This variation isn't random; it reflects the services and amenities offered. A facility on the lower end might provide essential supervised play in a secure yard, perfect for the dog who just needs companionship and exercise. On the higher end, you might find perks like live webcams, structured training sessions, premium nap-time suites, or even splash pools for summer fun. Many local daycares also offer discounted multi-day packages or monthly memberships, which can significantly lower the per-day cost for regular clients.

To ensure you're getting true value, look beyond the price tag. We recommend scheduling a tour—any reputable daycare in the Back Mountain will welcome this. Observe the staff-to-dog ratio; it should feel calm and controlled, not chaotic. Ask about their vet emergency protocol (proximity to Lehman Veterinary Hospital is a plus!) and their requirements for vaccinations. Inquire about how dogs are grouped: by size, temperament, or play style? This attention to detail is what you're really investing in.

Here’s a practical tip: Use your trial day wisely. Don't just drop off and leave. Stick around for a few minutes to see how the staff greets your dog. Provide clear information about your pet's quirks (like that love for chasing leaves at Frances Slocum State Park or a nervousness around big trucks). This helps them integrate your pup successfully. Finally, consider bundling services. Some local daycares offer grooming or nail trimming at a reduced rate for daycare clients, saving you a separate errand.

Choosing a daycare is about peace of mind. The right one will give your dog their own "pack" to play with and return them to you happily tired, leaving you free to enjoy all that Lehman offers, guilt-free. By understanding the costs and asking the right questions, you can find a service that feels less like an expense and more like an investment in your dog's happiness and your own convenience.
