Overnight Dog Boarding Accommodations for Every Dog

Picture
Whatever comes to mind when you think of a traditional dog boarding kennel can be set aside after a visit to BowDog and our centrally located, vet-owned dog boarding resort in the heart of Calgary. The city's best veterinarians and thousands of clients rave about the quality of our care for a reason...your pet will enjoy an entirely refreshing and wonderful experience with our team! 
​

Our guests are kept safe and secure in our clean and comfy resort, with their own personal space to rest and relax before and after their customized daily activity schedule.  Each dog boarding guest receives room service daily with fresh linens, while comforting ambient music plays throughout their resting and play areas.
What is included:
  • 24 hour supervision
  • Personal accommodation for every guest
  • Care from the best trained staff in the city with 1:20 staff to dog ratios in group play
  • Plush, anti-microbial bedding with orthopedic upgrades available during rest periods.  All bedding is freshly laundered and sanitized daily.
  • Two recorded nose-to-toes health checks daily
Meal Times:
  • We find that many guests enjoy their stay most when eating the food they love at home. We invite you to bring your pet's food in meal sized portions at no extra charge.
  • Should convenience be what you desire, we offer a fish based, premium, grain-free kibble at $3.00 per day per guest.
  • Our guests are fed once or twice a day, depending on their at home habits, with ample rest after feeding times for optimized health and wellness.

Special Requests:
We are happy to accommodate special requests for your best friend! Our amazing team is happy to accommodate our dog boarding guests with medication and supplement administration (at a charge of $3/day per pet) , special diet preparation, food and treats from home, post-surgical or special handling requests, and daily brushing for coats requiring maintenance. Please feel free to discuss any of your special requests with our reservations department. Please note, we are unable to accommodate diabetic guests requiring injections, however, our sister resort, Springbank Pet Resort, is able to.

Our fun-loving and experienced staff at BowDog Canine Specialists can find just the right toy, play the right game or read and snuggle the afternoon away with our dog kennel guests! Our professional experience has taught us that active and happy pets are healthy pets, especially when they’re away from home. Our facility is specifically designed to give our dog boarding guests a place where they can thrive. Puppies, active adults, and seniors all benefit from regular interaction and activity. So whether your pet loves to party with groups of other social dogs or prefers the one-on-one attention of our Canine Specialists, we have something fitting and special for your best friend at BowDog.

Fun and activity are the best parts of vacations for humans and dogs alike. We know that every pet has different interests and that’s why our play sessions are customized to meet their individual preferences. We offer a variety of activity packages for you to choose from to ensure your dog has the very best experience while away from home.

Group Play: At BowDog we're happy to provide social dogs group play sessions in our outdoor off leash parks. Your dog can romp and play in the fresh air while on vacation with us. Your dog is placed in a size and energy appropriate play group and provided constant supervision by staff certified in group play supervision. Participants must be spayed/neutered, friendly towards dogs and people, fully vaccinated, and in great health.

Private Care: Have a dog that is better suited to one-on-one attention? We offer private care lodging for just such cases! Participants must be friendly towards people and fully vaccinated.

Activities and Pampering for our Dog Lodging Guests

We offer:
  • Full Day Play (Group or Private): For guests who enjoy an active schedule, this is similar to our daycare days. It includes both indoor and outdoor (weather permitting) play in the morning and afternoon.
  • Half Day Play (Group or Private): For guests who need more rest or benefit from a bit of a break, this includes indoor and outdoor (weather permitting) play every morning.

Add a Spa Day!

You can add grooming, nail trims, and other spa services to your pet’s lodging reservation!  There’s nothing better than coming home to a best friend who isn't just happy but also looks and smells great too!  Our Reservations Specialists are happy to schedule your grooming reservation and discuss service details.​

Health and Vaccination Requirements

The health, safety and wellness of our guests is of paramount importance to us. All guests must be current on the following vaccinations:
  • DHLP
  • Rabies (1 year +)
  • Bordetella
  • We highly suggest a pest preventative (Revolution or Advantage)
BowDog has the support of an on-call vet and is dedicated to the ongoing health and well being of your pet. We are partnered with several clinics and retain the service of a local, 24/7 clinic in the event of any medical emergency. If your pet should require medical attention while in our care our protocol is to contact your veterinarian. Should the nature of your pet’s illness require an office visit we reserve the right to utilize our on-call veterinarian (this decision depends on the illness and the travel time to your veterinarian). Our caring staff can administer any oral or topical medications your dog may require during their visit for a $3.00 charge per day per dog.
