If your pet care facility hasn’t yet implemented enrichment activities, you’re missing out on a key opportunity to improve both the dogs’ well-being and your business’s success. To get started, check out this enrichment guide, which provides a detailed breakdown of the benefits and strategies for integrating enrichment programs into your daycare and boarding services using kennel software to streamline the process.
For those ready to enhance their offerings, we’ve created a customizable September Dog Daycare Enrichment Calendar. This calendar can easily be incorporated into your daily operations and paired with your kennel software to help manage scheduling, track participation, and keep dogs engaged. It’s an ideal solution for providing high-quality care while boosting profitability. With the right approach, you can ensure every dog leaves daycare as the happiest, most enriched version of themselves.
Why Create a Dog Daycare Enrichment Calendar?
The primary goals of an enrichment calendar are to:
- Boost dog attendance during slower daycare days: Use engaging activities to encourage more bookings on typically quieter days, all while tracking participation through kennel software for easy scheduling.
- Improve profitability with near-zero labor: Implement low-labor enrichment activities that can be efficiently managed and tracked through your kennel management system, increasing your return without adding unnecessary workload.
- Increase your Average Revenue Per Pet Day (ARPPD): By offering premium enrichment services and utilizing kennel software prompts during booking, you can boost your income per dog each day.
- Provide balanced, structured days for all dogs: Enrichment activities ensure dogs receive a full day of mental and physical engagement, while your kennel software helps you plan and monitor their participation.
- Keep your staff engaged and energized: Encourage staff to interact with dogs in fun and creative ways, improving morale and job satisfaction, which can be tracked and rewarded via the kennel software system.
Maximizing Bookings with Kennel Software
In addition to setting up your Enrichment Calendar, it’s crucial to update the online booking system within your kennel software. During the booking process, ensure that both dog daycare and dog boarding clients are prompted to add enrichment activities. This can be seamlessly integrated into the software to encourage higher-value bookings. Also, include a prompt for departure grooming services as an additional upsell.
These simple adjustments within your kennel management software will not only elevate the level of care you provide but also increase your average revenue per pet per day. By automating these offers, you can streamline the booking process and ensure clients are aware of all available services, enhancing their overall experience while maximizing your facility’s profitability.
