Sunshine, Spring, and Wagging Tails

Spring celebrations are in full swing, which means sweet treats, egg hunts, and a lot of very hopeful dogs watching your every move. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or just enjoying the season, here’s a quick cheat sheet to keep things fun and safe, because nobody wants an emergency vet visit in the middle of brunch.

Some popular seasonal goodies aren’t dog-friendly, but with a few easy swaps, your pup can still feel like part of the festivities and probably assume the whole thing is for them anyway.

What To Skip
Chocolate, xylitol (a common sugar substitute), grapes and raisins, macadamia nuts, and plastic Easter grass all need to stay out of reach.

Dog-Friendly Treats
Carrot sticks, hard-boiled eggs that are plain and peeled, frozen yogurt with peanut butter, blueberries, apple slices without seeds, banana, and simple homemade cookies made with oats, pumpkin, and eggs are all great options.

Build a Doggie Basket
Add a toy, a few treats, and maybe a cute bandana for a festive touch. We also have lots of goodies available at TownHouse if you want to grab something special.

A little prep goes a long way in keeping tails wagging and trouble off the menu. Keep reading for what's on the agenda next week, and a few helpful reminders coming your way!

News & Reminders

We will be closed on Sunday, April 5th in observance of Easter. For pups boarding with us that weekend, please note there is a two-night minimum stay, as pickups will not be available on the holiday. Peak-season pricing ($5 per dog, per night) will apply from Friday, April 3rd through Monday, April 6th. We will reopen at 7:00 AM on Monday, April 6th.

School vacation begins the week of Monday, April 13th, and we’re anticipating a full house at TownHouse. Boarding is nearly fully booked, but if your pup still needs accommodations, please let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to assist. Peak-season pricing ($5 per dog, per night) will apply for spring break stays from Friday, April 10th through Monday, April 20th.

Please note that daycare reservations will be required during the April school vacation week to ensure proper staffing and a safe, balanced environment for all pups. Reservations can be made through our pet portal or by calling 203-227-3276.

There will be NO Pupster Academy or Wagaloo Enrichment during the week of April 13th.

Dog Enrichment Activities

Schedule a balance of learning and fun to your pup's days at Town House! These activities can be added on to your dog's daycare or boarding stays, and will be handled by our staff.

April 6th It’s time for the Mighty Monday Challenge! Our pups will work through fun training and agility exercises like the “Hoop Hold,” building a strong stay while boosting focus, confidence, and comfort with movement.

April 7th It’s Training Tuesday! We'll be working on leash walking— with a focus on helping your pup stay calm, not jump, walk alongside, turn, and not pull. This is a one-on-one 15-minute session, but if there's something your dog needs to work on, please let us know, and we can easily incorporate it into your pup's regular daycare or boarding stay. We'll also have our Woofle (doggy waffle) add-on available.

April 8th The Crafty Canines will decorate terracotta pots and plant a tulip for spring. This activity not only produces a sweet keepsake but also helps with your pup's focus and calm behavior. We'll also have our ice cream social add-on available.

April 9th For Agility Exercise Enrichment, we'll set up a challenging agility course for the pups.

April 10th National Unicorn Day is April 9th, but we’ll embrace the majesty and sparkle of these mythical creatures today with unicorn-themed races for the pups to burn some energy for Gym Class Friday.

Other daily add-ons:

Frozen Peanut Butter Kong
Ice Cream

If your pup would you like to paw-ticipate or if you have any questions about these activities, let us know at drop off, by phone, email or simply add activities from your pet portal.

Meow You're Talking!
