Small and medium dogs
Play with friends their own size
Every dog needs company to stay happy and healthy. At emBARK, that company is the right size: our facility caters exclusively to small and medium dogs, so little ones can wrestle, chase and nap without a 70 lb dog bowling them over.
It's the reason shy puppies turn into social butterflies here, and why seniors still enjoy their days out.
- For the extroverts A large common area with plenty of room to run and socialize.
- For the introverts A quiet rest space with privacy.
- For the potty trained A fenced outdoor bathroom area, on a routine.
- For the fashion-forward Grooming on site with our partner groomers.

Small paws, big hearts
Our dog loves going to emBARK Daycare! It's a great way to keep him exercised and socialized while we are at work. emBARK's small-dogs-only policy also gives us some peace of mind that he doesn't get himself in trouble with the big dogs.
I love them here! I always bring my little Schnauzer and he loves it. The owners are super friendly and they have a big area for the dogs.
Best doggy daycare in Port Moody! The staff treat my fur baby like their own. Facilities are well kept and uber clean, which I love!
