A day at FriDogs

FriDogs is like a daycare for children… but for dogs! We offer all-inclusive daycare, designed around your dog's wellbeing, growth and safety throughout the day.

On the programme:

  • Two daily outings in nature, to burn off energy and explore.
  • Individual activities tailored to each dog's character, age and needs.
  • Rest areas for winding down in peace.
  • A playroom where dogs socialise and have fun with their fellow dogs, in a secure environment.

Every day is organised around the dogs present, so their rhythm and their needs are respected. Your companion enjoys a day full of discovery, play, learning and downtime, before heading home happy and fulfilled.

The first day: visit + Discovery

Before your dog joins FriDogs, we take the time to get to know you and your companion.

The first step is a visit to the daycare with the owners: we show you around, explain how we work and answer all your questions.

That same day, your dog takes part in their half-day discovery session — the Discovery — which is mandatory before any enrolment. It lets us observe their behaviour, get to know them and make sure they will thrive within the group, in a calm and secure environment.

Practical details

Arrivals & departures

You can drop off and pick up your dog at any time during our opening hours, with a booking in our calendar.

The big walk in nature usually takes place between 10:00 and 12:00. Please avoid that window where possible, or let us know in advance so we can organise ourselves.

Walks & safety

Your companion's safety is our priority.

On outdoor walks, every dog is walked on a long line and is never let off. This keeps them safe while still giving them the freedom to explore, sniff and fully enjoy being outdoors.

Dogs are let off the line only in our large, fully secured play park, where they can run, play and burn off energy freely.

For your companion's comfort and safety, please provide their usual harness: that way we use equipment perfectly suited to their build and that they are already used to.

Photos & videos

Because we know a day away from your companion can be hard, we regularly share photos and videos of your dog throughout their day at FriDogs.

You can follow their adventures, see which activities they take part in and watch them thrive with their friends — on nature outings, at play or during downtime.

Meals & treats

We provide the treats used during activities and reward moments.

For dogs that have a meal during the day, owners are welcome to bring their food. We are happy to give the midday meal as well as any medication, following your instructions.

Your companion's health is our priority: please tell us about any allergy, intolerance or special diet, so we can adapt the treats and avoid anything unsuitable.

Wellbeing: osteopathy, care & grooming

We want to offer a genuine all-in-one service for your companion's wellbeing.

Osteopathy

Every month, a specialist osteopath comes to the daycare. You book a session online and your dog is seen during their day with us, with no extra trip for you. See the next dates

Wellness & freshness

Brushing, de-matting, ear cleaning, nail clipping or a full bath: you add the treatment you want when booking the day, we take care of it while your dog is with us, and you settle up on site when you collect them.

Grooming

For a full groom, an independent groomer comes to FriDogs on request. You book the date online, your dog is groomed during their daycare day, and the grooming is paid on site, directly with her. Book a grooming session

Admission conditions

To keep every dog in our care safe and well, your companion must:

  • be vaccinated against DHPPI and kennel cough (vaccinations less than a year old)
  • have had an antiparasitic treatment (fleas, ticks and worms) within the last 3 months
  • be sociable with other dogs and with humans
  • have successfully completed their half-day discovery session

Females in heat sadly cannot be looked after during that period.

Uncastrated males are accepted, provided their behaviour is compatible with group life.

Puppies are welcome from 14 weeks if they meet the admission criteria, for a supplement of CHF 10.00.

All the admission conditions, along with owners' rights and obligations, are set out in our admission contract. View the admission contract

Pick-up service

We collect your dog free of charge at strategic points to save you detours; the return is only to Riaz.

  • 6:15am — La Croix-Blanche, Posieux
  • 6:30am — In Riaux industrial zone, Rossens
  • From 7:00am at FriDogs in Riaz
Book with pick-up

Boarding & overnight stays

Beyond the day, FriDogs is also a boarding kennel: your dog can stay the night — for a work trip, a weekend or your holidays. They come back to the places, smells and people they already know from daycare, which makes all the difference compared with a kennel discovered on the day you leave.

Boarding is booked on request, subject to availability, and assumes your dog has already done their discovery half-day. Write to us to arrange the dates.

Overnight & weekend boarding

For our regular clients and with a booking, FriDogs also offers overnight and weekend boarding.

Your companion stays at Joëlle's home in the countryside, in a calm and secure environment, where they get the same attention and comfort as on their daycare days.

Rate: CHF 79.00 for 24 hours of care, daycare day included — you do not pay for the day on top of the night.
