We are New Westminster’s ONLY Low Stress dog daycare!

DAYCARE REGISTRATION: We are open by appointment only so please fill out this online enrollment form to be placed on the wait lists for both locations! We will be in-taking new clients again at the end of March 2021. Thank you for being awesome!
Benefits Did you know that dogs prefer to play in smaller groups of 3-4? For that reason, we believe that low numbers, careful management by a well educated staff, and a specially set-up facility is the best and most ethical way to set up a dog daycare environment. Our clients benefit from a staff educated in Pet First Aid and even more importantly, in the science behind dog behaviour so that we can facilitate a safely managed, low-stress group environment! We offer mental as well as physical stimulation with constant play monitoring, 2-3 “nap times” per day to avoid over-stimulation and high stress levels, enrichment games and plenty of fresh air. At Mindful Mutts we offer pee breaks outside, generally one-at-a-time, every 1-3 hours. For new visitors and those that are a little fearful, we use pheromones and calming music created just for mutts to help them relax and get accustomed to the environment. Becoming a Client If you’d like to become a client, please fill out our online enrollment form above and we will get back to you within 2 business days to place you on a wait list for a meet and greet if appropriate. We will refer you to a better suited service if we don’t think it will be a good fit. After the meet and greet we may schedule a trial day, this helps us get to know your dog and understand their needs and if they truly enjoy being in our group environment. After the trial, we will send you an emailed assessment about your dogs day within 1 business day, this will give you a better understanding about how your dogs day went and whether or not they are approved for daycare along with recommendations for training, equipment and frequency of visits. Not all dogs are right for all environments! Some may be better suited for one-on-one walks while others may benefit from hiking activities. We pride ourselves on making carefully thought-through professional decisions in order to be able to refer you to our dog walking services OR our science-based colleagues who may offer something more tailored. We will remain transparent at all times in this regard, and place your pet’s welfare as top priority as part of our ethical mandate.
