Your dog needs daytime enrichment, without it you’ll get barking or other behaviour issues. We’ve got you covered with half day or full day dog daycare, available while you work or run errands.

Pups from Arbutus Ridge neighborhoods join energy-matched play groups, available every day. Your dog burns energy in safe, supervised playgroups while you handle work or errands. Our trained pet experts on staff watch body language to keep play safe and positive for all dogs 1.

Your dog gets rest breaks and meals between active play times. This consistent routine helps dogs feel at home, and helps anxious dogs settle faster.

Our Play Groups Match Your Pup’s Size and Temperament

Small, medium, and large dogs play together throughout the day, but are matched based on temperament. Shyer or more senior dogs join gentler groups for slower-paced activities and calm interactions.
