Our daycare environment is set up exclusively for small dogs. As we have some very small dogs (under 5lb) in our group we are very careful that new small dogs coming to join us will fit in well. We require that all dogs are small in size but also have a gentle and “small dog style” of play. For example, a french bulldog or a jack russell terrier may meet the size requirement but may not meet the temperament standards as they might like to play with more energy than the little ones can handle. The maximum physical size is about the size of a cocker spaniel.
We book our first daycare visits by appointment only. We ask that the first visit be a part day of daycare only (under 5 hours) so that your dog has a positive introduction to our daycare without getting overtired or overwhelmed. You can either click here to fill out our New Client submission form or call us at 604.737.7500 to arrange a first visit appointment or get further information about our daycare.
We require that the following vaccinations are up to date:
- distemper combination
- bordetella (aka kennel cough)
- rabies
Yes. We just need the results of the titre test to confirm that the level is sufficient to be considered effective.
Puppies must have completed their 3rd set of puppy shots plus bordetella. Some veterinarians are now recommending that rabies be delayed a few more months and so rabies can be temporarily waived with confirmation from your vet clinic. This means puppies are generally about 4 months before they are safe to come to daycare. Please note that this policy is for the safety of your puppy!
Yes. Tours are available. You can come by for a tour Monday-Friday right at closing time (6:30pm). We don’t offer tours during the day while the dogs are in the daycare. Please call in advance for a tour. Thank you!
Yes! We offer Club Cards (10 visits) or Super Cards (20 visits) at great discounted rates. Our Club Cards and Super Cards have no expiry and any unused days are always fully refundable.
