Dog Daycare

Come in to see what everyone is barking about!

Our dog daycare is a cage-free, professionally supervised environment where your dog can safely run & play off-leash, have fun with friends, and gain confidence and manners while you work or shop!

Dog daycare is a relatively new business idea which has been popping up in large and small cities across North America and with good reason! To a dog owner, daycare service can be the answer to many problems. If you work long days, and feel guilty about leaving your pet at home or they are destructive or anxious when left alone, they can instead spend the day with the next best thing to you – their favorite four-legged and two-legged best friends! An added bonus is bringing home a tired, satisfied pup, instead of coming home to a ball of energy when you yourself are lacking it. Other benefits to daycare include socialization (great for shy dogs or dogs who don’t know how to play) and basic training.

Just think, your dog can spend the day playing and learning in our spacious, secure, just for dogs facility. Enjoying the company of his buddies and going on multiple daily walks. Our facility is completely secure and includes state of the art, non-slip anti-fatigue matting to ensure the utmost safety of your pooch!

To get your dog into our daycare program, please fill out our application form.

Once we receive that we will email you within 72 hours. Our trial package is a $40  non-refundable fee and includes 2 half days. We find it is best to ease the dogs into the environment, so we like to book a 2 hour and then a 5 hour visit 3-7 days apart. If your dog is not approved during the trial or you miss either of the scheduled appointments without 24 hour notice your trial will be void and the fee is non-refundable.

After your trial, if your dog is approved we recommend you pre-book your daycare on a regular basis. We fill up fast and can only take a limited amount of dogs! If you don’t have a regular schedule, booking with as much notice as you can will help you to get the days you want. We cannot guarantee spaces unless the dogs are pre-booked.

Requirements Overview

- Must be spayed or neutered to attend
- Proof of up-to-date vaccinations, including bordetella (plus provide proof of a flea/tick/lice medication).
- Dogs must be a good fit for our facility
- Must be social and non-aggressive

While most dogs really enjoy daycare, it may not be a good fit for all personalities. We fully reserve the right to remove a dog from our day care program should we feel their temperament is not suitable for the group environment. We are willing to try to work with some behavioral problems such as barking and shyness, but in cases of persistent barkers, aggressive dogs, or if we feel your dog just isn’t having fun, we will try to find another solution for you.

You can also fill out the Application via our online form service. Once you fill out the application please come into our store with your dog’s completed vet records and mention that you have already filled out the forms online so that we may browse though the application and set up a 1-2 hour trial service which allows us to see if your dog is compatible with our daycare environment. For training students we will want to set up a consult and orientation time with you to get you prepared for your first day of classes.
