Leader of the Pack Canine Institute’s Dog Daycare Program
VOTED #1 IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY 14 YEARS IN A ROW!
Looking for a safe yet stimulating doggy day care or pet sitting service in the Easton, Bethlehem or Nazareth PA area? Our 28,152 sq ft indoor facility is ideal for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. We offer a section for big and small dogs as well as puppies. Why offer a separate section for different size dogs? Dogs are not like children. In the canine world, small dogs can get hurt if they do not match the energy level of a large dog during play. Some small dogs can keep up with the larger ones, but some are not comfortable with the big dog size or energy. This is where our small dog play area is beneficial.
We have climate controlled indoor rooms with A/C and Heat to keep your pet comfortable all day.
We have a state-of-the-art Air Purification System in our play room to ensure that your pet is breathing clean, healthy, virus-free air while he is running with the pack.
In addition to the indoor area, there is also a large 13,500 sq ft, secure outdoor play area. We offer several large open play areas to group dogs together by energy in free play and create a balanced pack. Each doggy day care area is always attended by our trained staff.
While you are at work, home, or on vacation, you can watch your pet play and interact by logging onto our webcam system. This way, you are a click away from checking in to see how your pet is doing, any time of the day.
Please allow 24 hours after applying flea and tick treatments and bringing your pet to day care.
REQUIRED FOR ENROLLMENT:
If your dog is over six months of age, he or she must be neutered or spayed to be enrolled in our Doggy Day Care program.
For pets who are over 6 months and not spayed or neutered, our private accommodations will ensure your pet has a fun and safe daycare or boarding experience.
LOPCI cannot accept any female that is going through a heat cycle – if you have questions, please call 610-829-5757.
All dogs must be current on Distemper, Rabies, Bordetella and Canine Influenza vaccinations. In addition, all dogs must be negative for a stool test for parasites in the last 6 months. We can not accept any pet without proof of shot records in paper format from a veterinary professional.
Each dog must undergo an initial behavior assessment to determine enrollment eligibility; please call us to schedule your pet’s evaluation.
This 4-hour evaluation is necessary for any dog that has not been to LOPCI in the past, or has taken a 6-month or longer hiatus from daycare or boarding at LOPCI.
If your dog has been to our Allentown location in the last 6 months, please let us know as this may negate the need for an evaluation at our Easton location.
Leader of the Pack Canine Institute LLC reserves the right to turn away any dog we deem unsuitable for this environment.
All dogs must be wearing a regular nylon quick release collar. We do not accept any harnesses, metal, choker collars or martingales on our day care floor.
Enrollment forms are quired to be completed and signed before scheduling your pets appointment. Signed waivers are required for enrollment. To access all required forms for Day Care and Boarding click here.

LOPCI Recommends
ALL PET PARENTS READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING COMMON CANINE INFECTIOUS ILLNESSES:
As more families embark on pet ownership, social interactions among our pets are an important part of our family lifestyle. Leader of the Pack Canine Institute believes in transparency and helping to provide pet parents with information to help prevent the spread of canine infectious illnesses. Pet parents should be aware that this information is provided as an awareness of potential exposures in social environments at dog parks, dog daycares, boarding and training facilities. These are not the only infectious illnesses that dogs can contract when exposed to social environments.
We recommend that you consult with your veterinary professional if you have any questions regarding the risks associated with visiting dog parks or enrolling in any dog daycare or boarding kennel programs. Like people all dogs are different, and they may react differently when interacting with other dogs. It is our mission to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all of our canine guests. We utilize multiple programs for daily sanitization and cleanliness at our facility. Our air systems all include upper-level UV sanitization equipment and our daily cleaning protocols are of the highest quality.
