The PAWS Way

More than supervision: a thoughtful day with the pack.

Every daycare day is 100% kennel-free and includes a 45–60 minute on-leash pack walk and three outdoor potty breaks. Beyond daycare, dog grooming is done in-house by a groomer with 40+ years of experience, and in-home pet sitting pairs your dog with a PAWS Pro — a staff member they already know — in your home or theirs.

What Our Pack Parents Say

  • By far the best dog care service around! The pack walks and socialization in a professional structured environment were a game changer when we started taking our 6 month old pup here. One of the most valuable things we were able to give our pup.
    KelseyGoogle Review
  • Great environment- dogs are so happy and relaxed. I trust the staff to know the dogs' behaviour and keep my dog safe. My dog always comes home tired from a day of socialization and play. Also, the photo shoots are hilarious!
    KayGoogle Review
  • PAWS was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't be happier with their level of service. The pack walks, the staff, the photos, EVERYTHING they do demonstrates their commitment to a loving and inclusive environment for both furry and human friends.

FAQ

Dog Daycare Calgary — Common Questions

What is kennel-free dog daycare?
Kennel-free means no crates, no cages, no locked rooms. Dogs spend the day in open supervised play areas, in one pack of all sizes, with experienced pack leaders. At PAWS, every dog also gets a 45 to 60 minute structured pack walk through Calgary parks. The walk is part of every daycare day, not an add-on.
How much does dog daycare cost in Calgary?
After a dog is approved for group daycare, a single day at PAWS is $59.50 + GST. Packages reduce the per-day cost; the Calendar Month pass is $769 + GST, as low as $37/day. Eligible new Calgary-area dogs comfortable in group play can request a $0 Intro Day, and no package purchase is required. See the Calgary daycare price comparison and the 2026 daycare guide.
Does PAWS offer half-day daycare?
No. PAWS does not offer half-day daycare. Every visit is a full weekday. Drop-off is 7:00 – 10:00 AM and pickup is 3:30 to 7:00 PM. A single day is $59.50 + GST.
Does PAWS offer punch passes?
Yes. The 5-Visit, 10-Visit and 20-Visit passes are punch passes. Each visit uses one credit. A 5-Visit Pass is $286.50 ($57.30/day), a 10-Visit Pass is $544 ($54.40/day), and a 20-Visit Pass is $949 ($47.45/day), all plus GST. Those passes never expire. Intro 5 Visits is a separate five-visit pass at $249 + GST and must be used within 30 days. The Calendar Month pass is $769 + GST, as low as $37/day.
Is my dog's first day really free?
The Intro Day is $0 for eligible new Calgary-area dogs comfortable in group play, and no package purchase is required. Staff must review and confirm your requested date. Your free Intro Day is the meet and greet. There is no separate pre-visit. The visit helps staff assess whether group daycare is suitable; submitting a request does not establish suitability.
What areas of Calgary do you serve?
PAWS is located at 1313 16 Ave SW in Connaught, on the west side of the Beltline, and serves dogs from across the city including Beltline, Mission, Hillhurst, Kensington, Marda Loop, Mount Royal, Bridgeland, Inglewood, and NW and SW Calgary neighbourhoods.
How do I register my dog for daycare?
Start at intro.pawsdogdaycare.ca: answer a few questions about your dog, including behaviour, then create your PAWS login and verify your phone. Choose a preferred available Intro Day date, add vaccination records and sign the agreements, then wait for staff to review and confirm your request. Dogs with behavioural concerns start with an initial assessment call instead of choosing a date. A submitted request does not confirm a reservation or establish daycare suitability.
What vaccinations does my dog need?
We require Rabies (mandatory), DHLPP/DHPP (annual or as per your vet), and Bordetella (renewed annually). Puppies can start as early as 12 weeks with at least 2 sets of DHPP, or a letter from your vet confirming daycare readiness. We ask for current vet records on file before the first day.
Do the dogs actually get walked every day?
Yes. On every daycare day, every dog at PAWS goes on the pack walk. PAWS is open weekdays. Walking groups are matched by energy and size. The walk is 45 to 60 minutes through nearby Calgary parks and pathways with experienced pack leaders. It is included in the price of every daycare day, not a paid add-on.
Where do dogs go to the bathroom at PAWS?
Outside. Every daycare day includes three scheduled outdoor potty breaks, plus the 45–60 minute on-leash pack walk through nearby Calgary parks and pathways, so dogs aren't stuck inside relieving themselves indoors all day.
Is daycare right for every dog?
No. Daycare works best for dogs that enjoy other dogs and are comfortable in group play. Some anxious, rescue, senior, and puppy dogs may be suitable, but known reactivity, resource guarding, or severe anxiety should be discussed with staff before requesting an Intro Day. During a confirmed visit, staff observe your dog and discuss whether group daycare is a suitable fit. See the daycare for anxious dogs and the daycare for reactive dogs.
