We are a modern, family run kennel located in beautiful East Central Alberta, Canada.  Our brand new kennel building opened in June of 2005.  We strive to create a home-like atmosphere for your pet to stay in while they are with us.  Our main concern is to make your pet's stay as comfortable and stress free as possible by changing their routine as little as possible.

Our unique kennel atmosphere includes couches or chairs in your dog’s spacious indoor/outdoor kennel (based on availability) to make them feel more relaxed and comfortable.   Each run is separated on the inside by solid walls so that your dog is undisturbed by its neighbors.  The outdoor section of the run is filled with pea rock to make it less harsh for your dog to walk on.  Walking on smooth rocks can be good exercise for your dogs feet and ankles, whereas concrete can create sore feet and joints.
We supply individual attention to each dog/cat and special care if required.  Scared and lonely animals are comforted and given special attention.  We care about your pets like they were our own and will give them the attention they deserve!  Dogs are taken out for 3 runs a day, or we will cater to the schedule you provide us.
We have a 3 acre fenced play area out back.  There is a path cut down all around the area, as well as a wooded area for your dog to explore.  Lawn furniture is available for rest stops!  Weather permitting, there is also a kiddy pool area.  Toys are scattered all throughout the area for your dog to enjoy.
Dogs are ALWAYS supervised when in the play area.
We also have doggy daycare services available.  Does your dog get bored at home all day long?  Leave him with us for the day and he will have a day filled with fun and adventure, human interaction and exercise!  Great for socialization and perfect for dogs with separation anxiety or with boredom related destruction issues.

We have had clients ask us to keep their dogs and cats together in the same run, and this can be arranged.  We have a covered run that can be used for such circumstances.  We are VERY flexible to your pet's lifestyle and schedule

Dogs of all temperaments are welcome, we are experienced in handling nervous dogs.  

Private cat suites available for your cat.  They also have a large play area with a south facing window to look out, cushions to lie on and we are in the process of building a jungle gym for them to play on.

You can bring your pet's own toys/food/medications.

Your pet's vaccinations must be current, including kennel cough.

Bathing services are available.

Give us a call, come out and visit, we'd love to show you around!
