PAWS Dog Daycare Calgary

My dog has tried a few different daycares in Calgary and other cities. There is truly something so special about Paws, she is always thrilled to arrive and has bonded with the humans that work here. It is so nice to see a daycare that is quiet and smells good when you walk in the front door. The caring people who work here are truly magicians when it comes to keeping the dogs happy and settled. It's so great to see their updates on IG throughout the day and know that my precious girl is getting her daily walk. I highly recommend Paws!

I have been taking my dog Olive (Mini Aussie Labradoodle) to Paws since I moved to Calgary in late 2019. I did a lot of research on dog daycares in the city and Paws was hands down the best option for Olive. My experience as a client over the past four years with Paws has been wonderful and I have been continually impressed with the care, love and investment that the Paws team has in ALL of the dogs that they care for. The staff is well trained and is consistent in their approach to caring for the dogs that they have in their care each and every day. I truly feel like Paws is an extension of my family when it comes to Olive. I know how much they care and I have always felt seen, heard and valued as a client. Two years ago I moved to a different apartment and although I am further away from Paws now, I continue to take Olive there for grooming and daycare. I am appreciative of Paws for being such a wonderful team and refer anyone who is looking for a daycare or grooming for their pup. Shout out to Eric and the Paws team for being grounded in love for the pups they care for and for truly living/modeling the values that they stand for as a company.

We have a moody pup who is particular about who she interacts with and is not so nice on leash with other dogs. We have had to stop going to dog parks and were unsuccessful at another dog daycare in the city. We want our girl to be social and around other dogs, but it just became too stressful for her and us. Then we found Paws, recommended highly by a friend, and it has been life changing. They truly understand dog behaviour and dynamic, and they respect and honour our girls challenges and preferences. She has never had a "bad day" there and she even does well on the daily pack walks! Our girl tolerates the other dogs, but is crazy about all of the staff that work at Paws. They love her unconditionally and celebrate with us when she does engages and play with other dogs. Paws makes having a reactive dog less stressful and we feel less alone. Thank you Eric and his staff for creating such a welcoming and inclusive place for all dogs!

The best dog daycare!! The staff are incredible and so kind to all of the dogs. They take them out for pack walks every day and will play ball with them inside if it’s too cold out. The themed photo shoots are also an adorable addition. Our dog always comes home very happy and very tired after her day at Paws. Could not recommend enough!

Fantastic place and staff! My pup Arty always has an incredible time, and I know he is well taken care of and loved here. The staff members are all so kind, helpful, and educated towards dogs, I feel very comfortable trusting them with my boy. I started taking Arty here when he was just a puppy, and everyone that interacted with him made sure he was safe, looked after, and felt confident enough around the other dogs. I’m sure the pack walks they included Arty in also benefited me in training him to walk well on leash, and I’m so grateful for that. It’s been a little while since Arty was here (due to a schedule change on my part), but I know he’ll be back and that he’ll be very happy about that. It’s also an added bonus that if you follow them on Instagram and Facebook, you get to see the cutest photos of the pack throughout the day. Thank you to the whole PAWS team for you hard work and dedication towards all your clients!!

I’ve been taking Mowgli to this grooming place, and they always do an amazing job! The staff is friendly, patient, and clearly loves animals, which makes a huge difference. Mowgli comes back looking clean, well-groomed, and happy every time. They take the time to make sure he’s comfortable, and I really appreciate their attention to detail. Booking is easy, and the service is always top-notch.

I've taken my dog here twice for a full groom. The first time, my dog came back with a razor burn on her paw pad. After notifying them by email, the daycare reception staff was apologetic and said they would ask the groomer what happened. The response I received was abrupt, stating that my dog was really matted, which didn't make sense since it shouldn’t affect the paw pads. I decided to give them another chance, thinking accidents happen. However, after the second groom, my dog's paw was visibly cut and bleeding, more severe than the first incident. Given the poor response from the first incident, I’m writing this review instead. While my dog might be fidgety with her paws, the groomer should have noticed and informed me. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this grooming shop based on these experiences. The pictures included are from the first and second visits.
