Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!☀️🌻😎

With August being so busy, we really encourage everyone to book ahead of time. We cannot guarantee last minute requests.

We also want to remind everyone that on weekends we open at 10 AM. If drop off is needed earlier than 10 AM, then drop off the night before will be required. Unfortunately, with the increase of boarders, food and medication schedules, potty/walk schedules it’s just no longer feasible to be accepting dogs earlier than 10 AM on weekends. Hopefully everyone understands. Thank you everyone for all your support and continued cooperation. ❤️

As the high heat and humidity continue around the region, here is some important information from our friends at the Ottawa Humane Society.

Severe weather warning! With the temperature soaring into the high 30s this week, let’s keep our pets cool and safe. Heat waves can pose serious risks to our pets, so here are some essential tips to ensure they stay cool and happy.
• Shorten your outdoor walks, try going for early morning or late evening strolls when it's cooler. Pavements can get dangerously hot, avoid hot pavement whenever possible to protect their paws.
• Make sure you keep their water bowl filled and readily available at all times. Hydration helps regulate their body temperature and keeps them from overheating.
• Watch for symptoms of overheating like excessive panting, weakness or even collapsing and contact your veterinarian if you pet is showing these symptoms.
• High temperatures can quickly kill an animal left alone in a car. If you see an animal alone in a vehicle with no owner in sight, call 911.

Hello everyone! Just a quick announcement that we are fully booked for Easter weekend! So we will not have the capacity to take on any last minute boarders. Thank you for everyone booking ahead of time ❤️☺️

03/11/2024

Happy March everyone!! 🌸🌷☀️

For the next couple of weeks we are at full capacity for boarding. The dogs are having a great time and enjoying this weather! We know everyone is eager to get updates and pictures of their dogs when they are away! Just a friendly reminder that due to it being such a busy time, it may take a little longer to respond to messages, picture/update requests, and phone calls. There may be slightly longer waits at pick up or drop off time because we want to ensure all precautions are taken before doors open. Everyone has been so great and understanding, and we really really appreciate it ❤️❤️

Good morning, everyone! Garage door is open so you can pull in there at drop off to avoid having to walk on ice! Driveway is salted, but just to be extra safe, feel free to use the garage! ❤️❤️

Happy holidays to our Ottawa Puppy Loft family!! Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year!! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Friday everyone! Just a few house keeping items ❤️

Just a reminder to everyone that because it’s summer, there is more boarding dogs which means daycare spaces are very limited. We really need everyone’s cooperation in planning ahead and booking.

We ask for everyone to please book in advance at least a week if they need daycare. Spaces are limited. We are not going to be able to accommodate last minute daycare or boarding requests due to space for the remainder of the summer. We have dogs being booked for as far out as January. As we tell everyone, it’s never too early to book.

We also are not going to be able to accept any new clients for the rest of the summer- daycare or boarding. We will resume accepting new clients in the fall.

Also a reminder concerning hours. They are:
Monday - Friday: 7:30am-7pm
Saturday - Sunday: 10am-10pm

We ask everyone to please show up and pick up at the times that are booked. Our boarders require feedings and care in the mornings, afternoons and evenings, and we are experiencing some difficulties with this when we are unsure when dogs are getting dropped off or picked up. Texts when you are on your way for pick ups and drops offs are GREATLY appreciated and encouraged. It will help us have the dogs secured earlier so that drop offs are more quick and efficient and help us have your dog(s) ready for pick ups faster if we know you are on your way!

If possible, we would like to refrain from the doorbell outside of the garage being used as much as possible since the dogs inside do react to it and we want to be mindful of our neighbours. If you do use the doorbell, we ask that you ring the bell above the garage keypad ONCE firmly and we will be out as soon as we can. Sometimes there is a wait depending on what activity we are doing with the dogs and making sure that all the gates and doors are secured before we go out. This is why a quick text indicating that you were on your way is very helpful, because we can have your dog prepared to leave and there is less of a wait for you 🙂 

We are always tweaking ways of doing things to give everyone the best experience with Ottawa Puppy Loft as possible. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping us to achieve this! ❤️

How we start off every morning at 7:30am ❤️

06/06/2023

Happy Tuesday ❤️❤️ Due to the special air quality statement, we encourage everyone to text 613-793-2596 when you arrive, and wait in your car until we come out to bring in/bring out your dog(s). Hopefully this will reduce the amount of time people have to wait outside. ❤️❤️

04/24/2023

Yard and play area has been bleached and sanitized. We feel confident that we have taken all precautions and we are ready to open Monday (tomorrow) as planned. Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding as always ❤️❤️

ATTENTION ALL DOGGY PARENTS!!

We unfortunately had a case of giardia at Ottawa Puppy Loft. As per vet recommendations, we are decontaminating the floors, all equipment, and the backyard to ensure all dogs’ safety. Since this will take some time, we will be closed until next Monday, April 24th, 2023. We apologize for any inconveniences and appreciate your patience and understanding. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to message me.

Thank you!!

04/06/2023

Hello everyone! We are out of power so the usual doorbell and camera outside the garage is not currently working. So we will not know who is here and when. Please text 613-793-2596 when you are here or on your way so we can bring your dog to you. Thank you!!! ❤️

Clients: Please read!! Thanks 😊

Just a quick announcement that we are booked for BOARDING for the rest of the summer. We will be accepting more boarders in September and we won’t be accepting any new daycare clients until the new year.

As always it’s extremely busy, so we urge everyone to PLEASE book in advance. This applies for both daycare and boarding. It is getting very difficult to fit in last minute dogs, and we are at the point now where we have to start turning people away if it’s less than 48 hour notice. It’s never to early to book.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Ottawa Puppy Loft has power and will be resuming all services starting Monday, May 30th 2022. We thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

05/22/2022

Hi everyone!
We hope everyone is safe after this storm. Unfortunately, Ottawa Puppy Loft does not have power for the time being. Because of this, we are unable to keep up with the sanitary protocols with having multiple dogs in our home. In addition, we will not be able to have the AC on to keep the house at a comfortable temperature for dogs that are prone to over heating. Therefore, at this time we not able to accommodate day care and any new boarders, until we regain power.

All meet and greets scheduled for this week will be postponed.

Due to the fact we don’t have power, we do not have access to the internet and have limited SMS ability. Therefore if you message us and we don’t reply for a few days, please do not panic, we will get back to as soon as it’s possible.

We thank everyone for their patience and understanding. Please stay safe.

Just a reminder that we are hosting K9 Tooth Haus June 4th! Please DM K9 toothhaus directly for more information and booking! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone!

We want to thank everyone so much for sending your wonderful dogs here to play and stay with us. The support throughout these years have been incredible! We are soo thankful to each and every single one of our clients. You are more than clients to us- you are family.

Our daycare rates will increase $3/daycare visit ($35/visit) and $5/overnight boarding. Daycare and boarding for multiple dogs will remain the same at $25/daycare and $35/boarding per additional dog❤️. We will also still be offering discount packages!

10 day daycare package: $330 ($33/visit)
20 day daycare package: $600 ($30/visit)

10 day overnight package: $430 ($43/visit)
20 day overnight package: $800 ($40/visit)

These new rates will be effective May 1st, 2022. Any pre-paid packages or reservations will be honored at the current package/visit price. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you to everyone for your understanding and support.
