Your Dog’s Second Home in Kensington, Calgary
At Brilliant Best Friends, we’re not your typical large-scale dog daycare. We’re a small, family-style facility that truly gets to know every dog — and their humans too. With a daily limit of just 30 dogs, we focus on creating a warm, welcoming space where your pup is never just a number.
Located in a cozy, character-filled home in the heart of Kensington, we offer a personalized daycare experience that feels more like a second home than a kennel. Each dog is matched with the right group of friends based on their size, energy level, and play style, and cared for by a team of experienced, dog-loving professionals.
We believe in keeping things small so every dog can play, learn, and relax in a safe, stress-free environment.
🏠 Our Space
We’re located in a charming, character home built in 1912 in the heart of Kensington, Calgary. Inside, we have 6 separate daycare rooms, allowing us to group dogs by size, play style, and energy level. This helps each dog feel comfortable, have fun, and learn positive social skills.
