The Paw ValleyClient Login

Dog daycare, done right.

Say goodbye to cramped rooms and overcrowded play areas. This is 3 secured, fenced acres of real grass — where your dog runs, plays, and burns every ounce of pent-up energy.

The daycare game, transformed

Most daycares give dogs a room. We give them a valley.

Beyond the biggest play space in Edmonton, what sets us apart is our commitment to individualized care and safety. We proudly run the most rigorous assessment process in the city — so your dog only ever plays with pups that meet the same high standard.

Easy morning drop-off

7:15–9:15 AM

The gate opens at 7:15 and drop-off runs to 9:15 — no rush, no line-ups in the cold. Every dog is greeted by name by a handler who already knows their file, their friends, and their favourite game.

Why Paw Valley?

Four reasons, stacked in our favour

The largest daycare in Edmonton

3 acres of secured, fenced outdoor space and over 2,300 sq ft of climate-controlled indoor area to play and explore. Not the biggest room in a strip mall — an actual valley.

The pickiest guest list in the city

Our assessment process is the most rigorous in Edmonton — on purpose. Every dog your pup plays with has already cleared the same bar:

  • Healthy & vaccinated
  • Well-socialized
  • Good recall
  • Basic commands

More eyes on your dog

The most favourable staff-to-dog ratio in Edmonton means personalized care and genuine attention from highly trained staff — all day, every day.

15:1

A better dog comes home

Daily socialization in the right pack builds behaviour and confidence around other dogs and people. The change shows up at home — calmer evenings, easier walks, a happier dog.

Frequently asked questions

The things every good dog parent asks

What vaccines are required for my dog to attend daycare?

Dogs must be current on their core vaccinations — Rabies, DHPP (distemper/parvo) and Bordetella (kennel cough). We confirm records during registration, before your dog's first assessment day.

Do you separate dogs by size or temperament?

Always. Every dog plays in a pack carefully sorted by play style, age, size and energy — never one big free-for-all. Matching packs properly is the whole point of our assessment process.

Does my dog need to be spayed or neutered?

It comes up in the assessment: intact dogs are considered case-by-case based on age and behaviour. Mention it in your interest form and we'll walk you through exactly how it works for your dog.

What does my dog need to pass the assessment?

We look for healthy, vaccinated, well-socialized dogs with good recall and basic commands. The assessment day itself is relaxed — we meet your dog, watch how they interact, and make sure they genuinely love it here.
