• Canine First Aid trained
• Custom DogPlay training
• Minimum 15:1 ratio

DogPlay is proud to be a FetchFind Approved business! All of our staff are trained via FetchFind Premium, the premier educational resource for pet industry professionals. This means every DogPlay Handler receives professional-level pet care education and continues to take classes throughout their career with us. This science-based and animal-centered curriculum has been developed by certified experts with decades of experience in the field.

In addition, Handlers work to receive their canine first aid certification during their career here at DogPlay. This covers everything from basics on canine health and vitality to emergency procedures and urgent care. Most Handlers are able to earn this certification within their first three months at DogPlay.

We also regularly audit our own in-house footage to ensure we are continuing to provide the best care possible.

Meet Some Of Our Community

“The whole team at DogPlay is fantastic. I’ve been bringing my Shepherd Mix here over the last year and a half for boarding, grooms and hangouts.

Everyone is super friendly. They absolutely adore the doggos and are very professional when it comes to balancing all of the different breeds and behaviours that cross paths in the daycare space every day.” Eddie Englander & Elsa

“Thank you to the entire team at DogPlay. My puppy started going here since he was 4 months old and he is still super, or even more, excited every time when driving into the parking lot.

The entire team cares and is professional all the time. Definitely the best in van!” Kevin Poon & Theo

“I live & work downtown – this is how great they are! So worth the commute!! Our dog gets the best social exposure with other playmates in a safe environment.

The team and owners are incredible and so caring. They listen to our concerns and always provide feedback. We have been to two other facilities and our little one comes home so much happier and well behaved from DogPlay.” Lauren Ghequiere King & Chile
