We've just been voted the #1 Dog Daycare in Burnaby, as voted on by locals, in the 2010 Burnaby Now newspaper poll. We were also named the #2 dog daycare in Vancouver in The Georgia Straight’s 2009 Best of Vancouver competition. Thanks to everyone for voting for us!

Why use a dog daycare, you ask? Socialization is extremely important for dogs of all ages, but in particular essential for puppies who need to learn how to behave around other dogs and humans. This helps prevent them from developing anxiety (such as separation anxiety), aggressive and shy behaviours. They learn how to interact with other dogs through playtime and we work on discouraging bad behaviours such as barking, whining, shyness and disobedience. Most of all – they have fun doing it.

Our daycare is bright, colourful and double-gated, with two separate rooms so that even the tiniest dogs can be paired with other friends their size.

We offer Spaw grooming every Monday and Wednesday with professional groomers. This books up fast, so call ahead to reserve your spot. Yes, all staff are certified with DOGSAFE Canine First Aid.

Our 1,600-square-foot facility is at the corner of Hastings and Sperling in north Burnaby, with easy access for dog parents living in Burnaby, Port Moody, Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. We even have customers driving from as far as West Vancouver and Richmond.

Included in the price of daycare are daily walks, a photo emailed to you of your dog playing, and daily updates on our Dog Blog..
