Designed for smaller dogs (about 20 lbs & under), our daycare offers a stimulating environment with lots of personal attention for your loved dog.  We actively discourage excessive barking that can be stressful to some dogs, instead, our caring staff will encourage well-managed play and reinforce good behaviour with the healthiest treats.

we are moving!

With our lease coming to an end in April – and after much, MUCH consideration – we made the difficult (but exciting) decision to move.  We love our shop and our amazing customers – and it’s time for us to take a risk and grow in a new direction.  We’re really excited about our newest BWH shop concept that will focus even more on the health & well-being of our k9 clients – and will be announcing our new location (and many brand new service offerings) in the coming weeks.  In the meantime, here’s what many have been waiting for — news of our MOVING SALE that starts on Friday, March 1!

Book a full groom for your dog in January – and we’ll give you a voucher for a bath + tidy in February for just $10* (regularly up to $38)!  It’s a great way to make your groom last longer, and keep your doggie looking and smelling great through the wet winter months!

Lucie adores soft stuffed animals and picks one out every night to gently cuddle with.  We know she’s going to love snuggling with this wool moose ($15.95).

Maybe a tough spiked bowl will help guard her food from her thieving little doggie siblings since Lucie doesn’t have it in her to growl them away.  Polished aluminum spiked bowl with stainless bowl (from $52.95).

To help her joints keep healthy and strong so that she can enjoy many, many more years of romping in the woods, she’ll also be getting a bottle of Cranimals Sport ($36.95)  made from cold-pressed organic cranberries from the Fraser Valley and flax oil. SPORT helps support mobility, athletic endurance and healthy joints in active, adult dogs and the carotenoids also help mitigate inflammatory tissue damage of the eyes, heart and muscles in dogs.

Lastly, what’s christmas without treats?  Lots and lots of treats!  Some of her current faves – dehydrated, locally made duck feet chews (from $6.95), artisan crab cake cookies from Spoil Me Rotten baked with lots of real lump crab meat ($9.95), PB & Jam biscuits from Auntie Kim’s Better Bickies and of course, raw free range meaty beef bones from local Red Dog Blue Kat.

Happy holidays!

Read about the doggies that Melissa’s Aloe-Pet will help:

Patricia wrote:  This summer, my doggie Belle experienced her first bout with fleas. We’ve finally gotten rid of them, but I think due to the preventative meds that she is on, she still tends to itch quite a bit. I’m thinking this Aloe stuff may help!

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• Aloe Vera contains salicylic acid which is an aspirin like compound with anti-inflammatory analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. This will help to relieve the itch.
• Aloe Vera contains saponins, a soapy substance from the gel that is capable of cleansing and having anti septic properties. This will help to remove any build up in the liver or intestines from long term medication use.
• Aloe Vera will also help to boost Belle’s immune system. Aloe Vera contains; Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Choline, and Folic  Acid.
• Aloe Vera also contains; Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorous, Sodium and Zinc.

Shawna wrote:  My doggy Ollie is a rescue since he was 4 months old! And ever since we’ve had him he bites and chews at his paws! Sometimes worse then others. We have taken him to the vet a few times to diagnose and haven’t ever had a conclusion. I hate seeing him suffering. Id love to try this product to see if it helps with our little guy!

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• It seems like an anxiety issue more than a health issue. Aloe Vera contains Magnesium which activates enzymes, maintains healthy teeth, strengthens teeth and bones and helps the nervous system.
• Aloe Vera contains salicylic acid which is an aspirin like compound with anti-inflammatory analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. This will help to relieve the itch.
• Melissa’s Aloe-Pet can be applied directly to the paws to instantly soothe any irritation caused by the licking, chewing and biting.

A Husky Life wrote:  Rocco is allergic to a number of things, some of which we were able to identify and some that still remain a mystery. His paw pads get very itchy and he sucks on them (sometimes even bites them). I would love to try the product and write a review on Rocco’s blog http://www.bitesandtales.ca/

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• Aloe Vera will help to build the immune system and provide any vitamins or minerals that may be lacking due to his sensitivities.
• Aloe Vera contains; Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Choline, and Folic  Acid. Aloe Vera also contains; Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorous, Sodium and Zinc.
• Aloe Vera contains salicylic acid which is an aspirin like compound with anti-inflammatory analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. This will help to relieve itch and irritation Rocco is feeling.
• Aloe Vera contains saponins, a soapy substance from the gel that is capable of cleansing and having anti septic properties. This will help to remove any build up in the liver or intestines from long term medication use.

Michael wrote:  My Shih-Tzu, Higgins, gets hot spots around his rear and side. He doesn’t have fleas, so I think it’s an allergy. Would love to try out this creme to see if it makes him a happy puppy

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• Melissa’s Aloe-Pet works wonders on hot spots! Aloe Vera internally will provide the nourishment the cells need to fight bacteria and infection. Externally Aloe Vera will create an environment of healing, the gel dries quickly leaving behind a protective barrier and Aloe Vera will relieve the itch irritation and redness instantly.
• Aloe Vera contains phosphorus will help balance the pH and assists the metabolism. Often times hot spots aren’t just a topical issue, if the immune system is compromised the skin will be the first place to show it. Treating hot spots, itchy skin and allergies should be from the inside out.
• Aloe Vera contains copper which is important for the red blood cells as well as the reproduction of skin and hair pigment, which seems to be exactly what Higgins needs.

Chandra wrote:  Dante (a chihuahua) has had “unidentified” allergies for a number of years now. He has gone to a Vet that specializes in dermatolgy and still no answer. This Spring was particularly bad as his fur started coming out in clumps.I changed his diet yet again (he eats better than I do), he went on more drugs and special shampoo and eventually his fur did start growing in again although in a different colour so now he looks like he has spots. I would love to try this and see if it helps.

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• Aloe Vera contains copper which is important for the red blood cells, as well as skin and hair pigment. This should help the hair to regrow quickly and in the same color.
• Aloe Vera contains Sodium which regulates body liquids, helps with nerve and muscle performance and helps to deliver nutrients into body cells.
• Aloe Vera will help to build up the immune system before spring so Dante doesn’t experience the fur loss again.

Ruby wrote:  our pup Amba is a year and a half and it has been a year of changing foods, shampoos etc trying to figure out what he is allergic to … still tryin to figure it out

What will Aloe Vera do to help?

• A year and half of changing foods can be difficult for the pet and pet parent. Aloe Vera will help to boost the immune system and naturally cleanse.
• Aloe Vera provides the essential vitamins, enzymes and essential amino acids needed to give the body nutrition.
• Aloe Vera contains; Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Choline, and Folic  Acid. Aloe Vera also contains; Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorous, Sodium and Zinc

The wonderful thing about Melissa’s Aloe-Pet is the Aloe Vera.  Aloe contains a large collection of nutritious ingredients whose compound effect and balance provides a more robust performance than that expected by adding up the individual ingredients. The ingredients in Aloe collaborate and increase each other’s power, giving a so-called synergy effect.

BIG THANK YOU to Melissa’s Aloe Pet for their generous giveaway!  We are so excited for these caring pet parents to get to know the healing benefits of Melissa’s Aloe-Pet – and can’t wait to see the results.
