At 4 Paws Inn & Hotel, we believe that every pet deserves a fun, safe, and comfortable experience when they come to our daycare or stay overnight. But we also know that every pet is unique—some may be social butterflies, while others may take a little longer to warm up. That’s why we offer free pet assessments to ensure that both you and your furry friend feel confident and comfortable before fully committing to our daycare services.


What is a Free Pet Assessment?

A free pet assessment is a structured, no-obligation evaluation of your dog’s behaviour, socialisation skills, and comfort in our environment. It gives us a chance to observe how your dog interacts with other dogs, how they respond to new surroundings, and their overall energy levels. The assessment typically lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, during which our trained team of professionals will make sure your pet is happy and safe.


What Does the Assessment Include?


  • Playtime & Socialisation: We introduce your dog to other pets in a controlled, monitored setting to observe how they interact. Are they shy at first but warm up later? Do they prefer one-on-one play or group activities? These insights help us understand your pet’s personality.

  • Behavioural Observations: Our staff pays attention to your pet’s behaviour in a new environment. Are they anxious? Confident? Excited? We also look at how they behave during rest or quiet time to ensure they’re comfortable in all aspects of daycare.

  • Energy Levels: Is your pet full of energy or more laid-back? This helps us plan their days at daycare, ensuring they get the right mix of play and rest based on their energy.

  • A Personalised Report: After the assessment, you’ll receive a personalised report detailing our observations and recommendations for your dog. This report covers their social skills, comfort levels, and energy, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

  • Certificate of Completion: To celebrate their successful assessment, your pet will receive a Certificate of Completion, officially welcoming them to the 4 Paws family!


What Are the Objectives of the Assessment?


The assessment is beneficial for both you as a pet parent and your dog:

  • For You: It gives you reassurance that your dog will thrive in our care. The personalized report provides transparency about how your dog behaves in the daycare setting, so you know exactly what to expect. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and discuss any concerns with our team.

  • For Your Dog: The assessment helps your dog get acquainted with a new environment at their own pace. It’s a gentle introduction to daycare life, where they can explore, play, and rest in a safe and supervised space. Plus, it ensures that they’ll enjoy their time at daycare, surrounded by friends and caregivers who understand their needs.


Why We Believe Assessments Are Important

We offer free assessments because we want every dog to have a positive, enriching experience at 4 Paws Inn & Hotel. By evaluating your pet before full enrolment, we can ensure that daycare is the right fit for them. It’s not just about having fun—it’s about making sure your dog is happy, safe, and thriving in our care.
