Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dog daycare cost in Ottawa?
Dog daycare at Kennel Club Boarding is priced per day, with different rates for dogs that play well with others versus dogs requiring special care. We offer multi-dog discounts for households with two or three dogs. Visit our booking page for current pricing.
What do dogs do at daycare?
Dogs enjoy supervised indoor and outdoor play sessions, socialization with other dogs, interactive games, and rest periods. Our indoor playroom provides a calm space for smaller pups and senior dogs. Staff supervise all activities to ensure every dog is happy, safe, and engaged.
Is dog daycare good for my dog?
Daycare is great for social, friendly dogs who enjoy being around other dogs and have energy to burn. It provides exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization that's hard to replicate at home — especially for working pet parents. That said, daycare isn't right for every dog, which is why a trial day is the mandatory first step for every new daycare dog. The trial lets us assess your dog's social style and confirm daycare is the right fit — for your dog, for the other dogs, and for our team. If it's not the right fit, we'll let you know and suggest alternatives.
Do dogs nap during daycare?
Yes — and we encourage it. Each dog has their own private enclosure where they rest during the midday break. Most dogs settle in naturally after a busy morning of play. Rest periods are part of every daycare day, not an exception.
Do you offer daycare for dogs that need special care?
Yes! Our special care daycare service is perfect for dogs with unique needs, including those requiring medication, extra supervision, or a calmer environment. We tailor the experience to each dog's requirements.
What are the daycare drop-off and pick-up times?
Weekday drop-off is 7:00-8:45 AM and pick-up is 4:00-5:45 PM. On weekends and holidays, drop-off is 8:00-8:45 AM and pick-up is 5:00-5:45 PM.
How do you keep track of feeding instructions, medications, and notes about my dog?
We use a custom tracking system that logs every detail about your dog — feeding schedules, medications, play group preferences, and notes you share with us at drop-off. Staff see this information at every step of your dog's day, so nothing gets forgotten or missed. You're welcome to ask us about it during a visit; most owners feel reassured once they see how we keep track of everything.
