Why Would You Need Dog Daycare in Canmore?  

While there are lots of activities to do with your pet in Canmore, there are times when you’ll want your dog to have some supervised care. That’s where dog daycare comes in and provides a safe environment for them to socialize and play with other dogs while getting the care and exercise they need. In many cases, dog daycares offer other services like grooming and even training for puppies.

Best Dog Daycare in Canmore

If you’re looking for a Canmore dog daycare that will give your four-legged friend an incredible experience, look no further than Pugs N Mutts, which happens to be located right next to the Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Centre. That means you can easily take your puppy on a short 3-minute walk and drop them off for a day of grooming, play and exercise while you explore Canmore. The location is far from the only reason your dog will love their time spent at Pugs N Mutts, though. Their services include:

Dog Daycare

While it does not provide overnight Canmore dog boarding, you can drop your dog off for half a day of dog daycare, which is 5 hours or less, or a full day of 5 hours or more. While staying with Pugs N Muts, your puppy will get walks, bathroom breaks, play time and snacks, which means they’ll leave their time spent in dog daycare feeling socialized and tired out from all the fun they’ve had.

If you’re looking to go shopping in downtown Canmore, have a meal at one of the town’s amazing restaurants or do a hike that might be a little too challenging for a smaller pet, Puts N Mutts is the perfect place to leave your dog for the day.
