our dog’s day will consist of a healthy a mix of activity and relaxation. The day begins with a trip to the large fenced yards for a bio break and a quick play before heading back to their private kennel for breakfast. Dogs spend the next hour relaxing in their suite to allow time for proper digestion before exercising. Then it’s time for some morning fun. Social dogs will be matched with playmates according to size, temperament and play style and head out to play in the yards for a couple hours before lunch. Dogs who prefer not to socialize will be given private time in an outdoor yard. All the dogs come indoors to their own kennel for a lunch time break and meal if required. After time to rest and recharge, dogs head out to the yards again for a few hours of outdoor play. If the weather isn’t suitable for long periods of outdoor time, the dogs will still go outside but for shorter periods of time. Dogs staying over-night will eat dinner in their kennel followed by quiet time to digest before their last excursion to the play yards before bed. All dogs have their own doggy door to their private patio if they need a bio break or want to enjoy the outdoor country setting when not in a play yard.

Our 911# is 81028 London Rd (Hwy 4).  We are located 3km north of Clinton on the east side of the road. If you are coming from Clinton we are on the right hand side. If you are coming from Blyth direction you will be turning left into our driveway. It is harder to spot from this direction so watch for our PETS sign and the large fenced play yards.

Yes, we do basic grooming. We base the price of the baths on the size and hair coat of your dog. Nails are included in the price of a bath. Nail trims can be done separately any day, booked as an appointment or done during daycare or boarding. We do not offer pet hair cuts. 

Kennel cough is a contagious canine respiratory infection similar to a common cold in humans.  The Bordetella vaccine does not cover all strains, so it is possible for your dog to contract a respiratory infection in any group setting or location where other dogs have been such as parks, sidewalks, grooming facilities, veterinary clinics, training facilities, pet stores and kennels.  Here is an online article that gives more information on kennel cough.
