Individualized Care for Extraordinary Dogs
At Sniff & Wiggles Dog Resort in Petaluma, we believe every dog deserves a safe, supportive, and joyful experience—especially those with unique needs. We accept all eligible dogs including those with special needs.
Our Special Needs Dog Daycare is thoughtfully designed for pups who require a calmer environment, one-on-one attention, or customized handling.
Whether your dog lives with medical conditions, emotional sensitivities, or behavioral challenges, our experienced and compassionate team provides the structure, patience, and love your pup deserves.
What Makes Our Special Needs Daycare Different
