About Canine Adventure Den

Our founder and a long-time dog lover and owner, had used daycare services in Vancouver for many years. As both client and employee of many local daycares and boarding facilities, though, she noticed something missing. Many daycares in Vancouver expect the dogs to play amongst themselves, and don't provide equipment and opportunities to keep dogs active, stimulated, and happy.

She created the Adventure Den as an alternative to ordinary daycares. Here, dogs can run, wrestle, and play in an environment designed to keep their bodies and minds busy and happy.
