We pride ourselves on providing a fun, stimulating, and comfortable environment for all 4-Legged Cowboy & Girl Dogs. Whether they visit with us for Dog Daycare or Exclusive Sleepovers in a kennel free environment, they will love the variety of activities, toys, and resting spots, all catering to their individual age, size and abilities. A Tub 'N Scrub service is also available. See Prices for details. Cats, Pocket pets, and Birds are welcome to stay for Exclusive Sleepovers. Contact us for details.
Our daily Dog Daycare activities include:
Meet and greet at Check In. We show your dog to his/her new environment, introduce them to their new doggie friends, and assess compatability and any special needs.
2 group walks a day (duration and speed adjusted to your dog's ability.) rain or shine!
- There is the Power Walk, for an hour - great for the fast and furious dogs. We go visit the neighbourhood parks between Save On Memorial Centre and the Fernwood Community.
-The Neighbourhood Sniffin' Shuffle, ideal for senior dogs, mobility challenged dogs, or the just-plain curious ones. We make a lap of the closest neighbourhood parks, on average a 30 minute jaunt, in the morning and again in the afternoon.
Cowboys with Special needs, such as mobility issues due to age or surgery, will be happy to partake in the walks by getting a special ride in the Roadster Woody Wagon or our new Chariot. They get to ride along in comfort and see the sights, while their companions walk beside them. We also have the puppy pack, a backpack for dogs 25 lbs or less who have difficulty walking or are too young to keep up.
Playtime with each other and the Ranchers. Your Cowboy will love the Beach Room, complete with a wading pool, sandbox, driftwood obstacle course, and lots of toys! (Don't worry - everyone will be clean and dry for checkout!!) The new stairway to the Mezzanine is fun for all to run up and down searching for balls or just investigating. We also dance, play tag, bowling down the hall, and wrestle. Plus whatever other games your creative dog will come up with!
Gourmet Snack at midday: their choice of fresh Roasted Chicken Pate on a wheat-free biscuit, topped with a Carob garnish, or fresh baked Salmon Pate on a wheat-free biscuit, topped with a Parsley sprig. Cowboys with extensive food allergies are welcome to bring their own snack. All dogs are fed separately to calm the food-aggressive.
Rest and Relaxation: There are two lounges, LouLou's Lounge for seniors or quiet-thinkers, and Maxi's Lounge for the large and more energetic. Each have their own couches and multi-level beds, electric fireplace, water troughs and wagon full of toys. There are also pens for the smallest puppies or the Cowboy who needs to adjust to his/her environment more gently. Each is self appointed with beds, water, and toys. No matter what the room, everyone gets the same fantastic service.
- Massage and Tidy Up: At the end of the day everyone receives a full body massage, light face wash, and brushing to make them all refreshed after their fun-filled day!
- Checkout with big Hugs & Kisses, a parting Party Pack, and Wishes for a Happy Return!
Note:
Other than the second walk in the afternoon, all Half-Day visitors get all of the same services as the Full Day visitors, including snack & Tidy Up.
Special Considerations:
Your pet may require extra feedings (which you provide), medication, assisted physical therapy, or extra outside breaks, through the day. We will happily accommodate any of these special requests at no extra charge. Discuss your pet's requirements with the staff upon check-in.
