Dog daycare in Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia

30 dog daycares in King, Pierce and Thurston counties and what each one’s own website says about vaccines and a first-day evaluation. Call them directly.

Checked October 17, 2026 on each business’s own site. Of these 30 daycares, 16 mention the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine, 19 mention an evaluation, temperament test or meet-and-greet before the first day, and 9 mention a small-dog group.

Vaccines and the first visit

Rabies vaccination is required by state rule for dogs in Washington (Department of Health). Bordetella and distemper-parvo rules are set by each daycare, so ask which shots they need and how many days before the first visit.
