Dog Daycare
We offer daycare/playschool Monday to Friday.
Our limit is 30 dogs, who are separated by size and play style!
We keep our number of dogs low, to ensure every dog has fun, is able to regulate their energy and able to have multiple potty breaks everyday!
Our playschool is supervised by highly trained staff and walks are offered for an additional cost.
What will need for your dogs first day?
- Please bring your dog in on a harness or bring one with you. We require dogs come with a harness if you would like us to take them outside for a pee break since we are located close to such a busy road we want to minimize the chance that a dog may become spooked from the traffic and slip their collar.
- If your dog eats throughout the day and you would like us to feed them their lunch/breakfast/dinner you are welcome to bring it with them and we will put them in their own area for their food time.
- You are more than welcome to bring any chews or treats for them while they are here for the day of daycare. If you do bring a chew it will be used if they require a short break/nap time. (only dogs that need help regulating their energy go in for a nap)
- If your dog has any allergies make sure to let us know as we use treats in our facility. If your dog has many allergies or a favourite kind of treat you may bring that for us to use for your dog only.
- Please inform us if you would NOT like us to give your dog chews, treats, antlers etc.
Playschool
If you are wanting playschool (1-hr with a certified trainer) while your dog is with us for daycare, bring your dog on Fridays and add in your booking notes that you would like a playschool session. (Package options are available) Playschool must be paid for before its completed.

Daycare Policies
Pee Breaks/Walks - In extreme cold/heat we may do limited pee breaks or none at all (dogs who NEED to go out will but for very short pee breaks). Harnesses are a requirement for taking your dog outside our building due to us being on an extremely busy road. Dogs that aren't used to so much traffic so close can become spooked and back out of their collar and flee. So if you do not bring your dog with a harness they will be unable to go outside for pee breaks. Any dog leaving the building in our care MUST have a harness.
Unfixed Dogs - If your dog is an unaltered male puppy, they will be allowed into daycare until your vet recommended age of neutering. Unless they start showing undesirable behaviours like mounting where it is causing issues for the other dogs in daycare. Unaltered female dogs are allowed in daycare unless they are in heat. We do this because with previous experiences have shown unaltered females have had no issues as long as they aren't in heat, but a lot of unaltered males struggle with not mounting their friends in a daycare setting.
Cancellations - If you would like to cancel your dog's daycare day, there is no cancellation fee but we would just like you to let us know beforehand so we can have the spot for another daycare dog. You are welcome to give us a call at 403 454 7342 or send an email to Courtney@Brilliantbestfriends.org and I can make sure your spot is cancelled.
Late Pickup Fees - If you are going to be late for pickup please give us a call to let us know. If you call and inform us that you will be late you have a 10-minute leeway before being charged a late fee. On the chance you do not call and let us know you will be late, you will be charged $1 = 1 Minute from close until the time of pickup.
