If i could give Christine and Downtown Dogs 10 stars I would !…read more This is the BEST doggy daycare in the city BY FAR (and I've tried a few) and you can tell the staff truely care about the dogs and are passionate about their job. The facility is very clean and has different sections for the dogs to hangout and play in opposed to just putting them in an open space like other doggy daycares do. Christine knows what she's doing :) to keep all the dogs happy. You can tell they really care about the wellbeing of your dog :) I have a little chihuahua with seperation anxiety so doggy daycare is my only answer while I'm at work. I took my pup to a small dogs only daycare and she would always come back smelling so bad and running for the water bowl when we got home & seemed stressed. so I knew I had to try a different daycare and I'm so glad I found Downtown Dogs! I was a little hesitant bringing my small pup to all sizes doggy daycare but the staff know what they are doing! Christine is a dog trainer, a good one and it shows. I pick up my pup from Downtown Dogs and she's so confident and happy, she loves going there ! I can see the difference in her behaviour. If you need a trustworthy doggy daycare, bring your dog here! They go above and beyond !

Totally don't know how I haven't left a review for DownTown Dogs yet…read more Christine, the owner and head trainer, is basically a dog-rockstar. On my dog, Sam's, first day of daycare with Christine he came home with a report card detailing what he did for the day. Cutest thing ever? I think so. After having some questionable dog daycare experiences at another establishement (see my other reviews) I asked Christine if I could come early or late to get a tour of the facility, meet her and the staff, and decide if it was the right place for Sam. Christine was MORE than happy to comply, and Sam went to daycare there for 2 full years, 3 days a week. We have also taken agility and outdoor fun classes with Christine, which were both SUPER fun. Another really key thing to note is how much Downtown Dogs cares about the community. A few months ago I got an email request for help with preparing food packages to be given to street youth to help feed their pets. Christine has been key in getting literally thousands of pounds of dog and cat food to people who can't otherwise afford it. Basically, downtown dogs is excellent value, top quality, and one of the best places for dog daycare. The class sizes (ha) are usually 15 dogs, and there is onsite grooming available.

I was recommended to go see Shelly from our previous groomer who was incredible and had had a…read morecareer change. Unfortunately, my dog felt uncomfortable because after a few visits she started having adverse reactions to even me brushing her which she never had with our previous groomer. I reached out to Shelly and she told me she has been putting a muzzle on my dog and that she couldn't groom her without her trying to bite which she never communicated with me or my husband when we first dropped our dog off with her. Usually that would be something you tell a dog owner after a groom. Now my dog is scared to even get brushed which I was able to do almost everyday before taking her there. Shelley is kind but unfortunately my dog didn't feel comfortable going there.

They ruined my pups look and instead of taking responsibility for what they did they continued to argue. I went home very upset- they should be embarrassed and ashamed of how they treated my pup and me as a customer. I do not recommend this place and will never go back even if it's the last place for my pup.

They do have a separate area with boxes for pet food and other items for the needy pets. Array of supplies is vast - food, carriers, toys, accessories, beds and blankets.
