Doggy Daycare at the Kelowna Pet Resort
Throughout their fun filled day at Kelowna Pet Resort your dog will be socializing with other dogs in a supervised environment. Our daycare programs provide much needed playtime, exercise and socialization for your pet.  We provide an indoor/outdoor experience for our daycare and small group day play guests.  We have a large indoor arena as well as outdoor yards to run and play so we are able to manage the health and safety of our guests all year round.  With the schedule and structure within our daycare we find our guests come to know what is expected when they come to visit on their special day.  It's not a free for all, playtime is supervised at all times and we closely monitor the dogs in our groups to ensure they are happy, healthy and safe.

BIG DOG DAYCARE- *dogs must be spayed or neutered to go into our group daycare.
We are currently accepting candidates into our daycare that socialize well in group play.​  All dogs looking to join the Kelowna Pet Resort doggy daycare must go through our trial process (see small group day play details below) prior to being accepted into the group program.  It is important for our team to select dogs that we feel will thrive in a group setting. Any dog being considered into the program needs to be able to get along with all dog breeds, sizes and ages.  They must also have basic training in obedience for recall, sit & stay as well as not have a habit of jumping up on people.
We offer Big Dog Daycare 5 days a week (Monday-Friday). Our large dog daycare is a great way to exercise and socialize your dog in our structured daycare group. We use our Big Dog Barn indoor arena and large outdoor play areas to romp, run, and relax. If your dog is here for a day of daycare with us they will also have rest time during the day but in a group setting. We do not encourage a full on run for the entire day and realize that dogs do need rest periods.
We accept 25 dogs on Monday and Friday and an additional 5-10 dogs mid week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On the days where the group size is larger (up to 35 dogs) we do have two daycare attendants supervising the group during the busy morning.
Spots in our large dog daycare are limited and do need to be booked in advance, we do not offer a drop in daycare of any kind. 
We are always aware of weather elements at Kelowna Pet Resort. Indoor and outdoor time is dependant on weather and what guests we have with us each day. We want to ensure that our furry guests are kept safe, warm and happy throughout the day.
Please reach out to [email protected] if you would like to be enrolled into our daycare program.

Small Group Day Play (suite included)
*Space in this program is very limited and there are only a few times throughout the year we are able to accept new dogs into this program due to high demand.  Please reach out to us at [email protected] to find out if we have openings or to be added to our waitlist.

This program has been very popular at the Kelowna Pet Resort and is a great way to transition dogs into the overnight boarding environment and gain exposure and confidence with dogs in a controlled environment. Small group day play requires a dedicated suite (5x6 suite with attached 5x12 patio) for the day. We believe in a slow introduction to large group play so any new dog coming to the resort will start out in the small group day play program.  
We mix dogs in smaller groupings based on size, temperament and age. The average number of dogs in each group is between 3-7 dogs. Sometimes we start them out with just 1-2 dogs if they require a slower introduction. We will not mix dogs at the resort until we feel they are ready to meet some new 'furiends'. We reserve the right to decline the mixing of a dog if we feel this will not be beneficial for them or the other participant.

Not all dogs thrive in larger group settings and as such this program has many advantages for dogs that are building confidence or perhaps do not do well with larger groups of dogs.
The groups are created so that every dog will have an enjoyable and safe experience.
Routine for Small Group Day Play

When a dog comes for the Small Group Day Play they will experience two separate play groups throughout the day. One group play in the morning and one in the afternoon. The average time of each play group is between 20-30 minutes. Times outside will vary dependant on extreme cold or hot weather. The time between each group they have access to our heated and air conditioned boarding suites. Every suite is equipped with water and comforts if required such as a blanket in winter months. We realize that puppies require break times with their growing bodies and as such this program has been very popular with young dogs as early as 14 weeks old. Many of the dogs that frequent our main daycare group have been selected from our Small Group Day Play program when we feel they are ready.
​*Vaccinations for DAP and Bordetella must be current and done a minimum 7-10 days prior to their first visit.
*All bookings do need to be booked in advance as spaces are limited each week.
​Please email [email protected] if you would like more information on this program.
