Ultimutt Doggy Daycare
At Ultimutt Doggy Daycare, we offer a variety of services to keep your dog healthy, happy, and entertained. We provide a fun and safe environment for your pet to play and socialize with other dogs as solo enrichment and rest time. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional care and attention to every dog that stays with us.
We spend a great deal of time with each and every dog to learn about their personality and quirks. This allows us to prepare and plan which dogs we can match up so that everyone has the best time and feels safe!
We use an ice-cream flavour scale to work out these social matches. Your dog will be assigned a flavour based on their behaviour whilst in daycare. This will be communicated to you after your trial if your dog is a newbie!
ULTIMUTT ICECREAM BEHAVIOUR FLAVOURS
Our Ice Cream Flavours
At Ultimutt, we believe every dog is unique — just like your favourite ice cream flavour! That’s why we’ve created our Ice Cream Behaviour Flavours system to help us match dogs into the best playgroups based on their personality, energy, and social style.
Each dog is assigned a fun “flavour” that reflects their behaviour and helps us create the perfect mix of pups each day. Whether your dog is a mellow Vanilla Bean, a bouncy Rainbow Sorbet, a wild Choc-Chip Swirl, a selective Salted Caramel, or a learning Minty Freshie, we use this system to keep every dog happy, safe, and thriving.
Vanilla Beans
If your dog falls under the Vanilla Beans category, they're gentle, easy going, and great with all types of dogs! These pups enjoy playing but are just as happy to relax and observe if that's what the day brings. They're often older or just naturally zen, making them ideal for calm groups and first-time daycare visitors.
In terms of bookings, Vanilla Beans can join us any day of the week. Since they are great with all dogs and usually prefer a laid-back atmosphere, they’ll fit in perfectly with other mellow pups. You’re welcome to book a session on any day that suits your schedule, knowing your dog will have a fun and stress-free experience.
Rainbow Sorbets
If your dog is a Rainbow Sorbet, they are bursting with personality and love to socialize! These dogs thrive in group play and enjoy mingling with new friends, keeping the energy light and playful. They’re bouncy and full of fun but not overly excitable, making them a great fit for medium-energy groups.
Just like the Vanilla Beans, Rainbow Sorbets can be booked in any day of the week. Their social nature means they’ll enjoy interacting with other dogs and will be right at home in a dynamic, fun group setting. Feel free to book a day that works best for you – your dog will have a blast!
Choc-Chip Swirls
Choc-Chip Swirls are the high-energy, goofball pups who love to wrestle, zoom around, and engage in tug-of-war sessions! These dogs are all about physical play and need other dogs who can match their energy levels. They thrive in a structured environment with plenty of opportunities to burn off their energy.
While Choc-Chip Swirls are best suited to a set day of the week to ensure they have the right playmates, they can still be booked on other days if there is space available. However, please note that spots for this high-energy group are limited and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. If there are already too many Choc-Chip Swirls on a particular day, we may not be able to accommodate your booking.
Salted Caramels
Salted Caramels are adorable with just the right amount of spice! These confident and playful pups have strong personalities and love having fun, but they tend to be a bit picky with their playmates. They often do best in smaller groups or with dogs that have been carefully selected to match their energy and temperament.
Since Salted Caramels can be vocal or bossy, it’s important they’re paired with the right dogs to ensure everyone has a great time. If the wrong dogs are already booked in for a session, we may not be able to accommodate your Salted Caramel for that day. We’ll make sure your dog has the perfect playmates, with plenty of space and gentle leadership!
Minty Freshies
Minty Freshies are the newest pups or those still finding their paws in the world of daycare. They may be a little shy or nervous at first, but with the right encouragement and a supportive group, they'll quickly start to feel at home. These dogs prefer calmer environments and often thrive when matched with patient pals who can help them build confidence.
Minty Freshies are best suited to any day of the week, but this may vary depending on the mix that is booked in already. They do best in a calm, predictable setting where they can slowly get to know their surroundings and playmates. Booking a day with a quieter group will ensure your dog has a positive and stress-free experience!
