Good Morning, Dog Lodge Fam!

A note for all our wonderful clients that we updated our booking policy in December - we currently only accept booking requests for up to 3 months in advance!

That means that we are currently booking to the end of June right now!

Our July books will open up on April 1st!

Happy December! This post comes with some important information about a 🚨POLICY UPDATE🚨Effective December 1st, 2025 we ...

Happy December!
This post comes with some important information about a 🚨POLICY UPDATE🚨

Effective December 1st, 2025 we are now implementing a policy that requires a 50% deposit at time of booking for stays over any major holidays, beginning with Christmas & New years 2025!
The deposit may be refunded If at least 10 days notice is given for a cancellation

This policy will stay in place for all major holidays into 2026 including
February break
Easter break
May long weekend
July long weekend
August long weekend
Labour Day long weekend
(You get the idea)

We have also added to this policy that we will only take bookings 3 months in advance!
That means we are currently booking to the end of February but are not taking any March Booking Requests at this time!

*if you’ve already booked in for a trip In March/April and beyond - ALL prior bookings WILL BE HONOURED and you do not have to re-book!*

We do this purely out of the desire to help as many clients as possible!
When looking at our Christmas schedule, seeing all the dogs booked in and knowing how long our wait list was, we wanted to ensure we didn’t get caught with rooms left open (as we had happen last year) knowing we could have helped our families and pups with accommodations!

We took the time to notify anyone who is currently booked over Christmas and new years to make sure they were aware of the policy change BEFORE it came into place, and tried to also be in touch with a handful of our regular dog lodge clients via text, but this family has grown to the point that I’m bound to miss SOMEONE!

So, if you’ve taken the time to read all this way, Thank you! We appreciate you!

If you would take the time to share this post so others can see, or tag your friends you think need to see this info, we appreciate your help in getting the word out! 🐾❤️

Happy Thursday Dog Lodge Family!

Nicole here to let you know I’m officially starting my Maternity Leave! Baby isn’t here - Yet! But we are hoping he’ll be here any day!

I have complete faith in my Husband and our team of staff as they take over The Dog Lodge so I can spend a few [much needed] weeks snuggling and loving up our 2, soon to be 3, little boys!

Even so, please bear with us and allow for some grace as we transition me out of The Dog Lodge at the start of our busiest season of the year!!

We thank you all for your love and support while our family enjoys this new season becoming a family of 5! ♥️🐾

Your friendly reminder that things fill up fast for summer holiday’s here at The Dog Lodge!

Things will likely fill up a smidge faster than normal as Brett and I are expecting Baby Boy number 3 by the end of June *see picture of Cooper snugglin’ the belly 🥹*

As such we will not be running ourselves at Max Capacity this summer, and you will be seeing more of our lovely staff during the month as we give ourselves time to adjust to being a family of 5!

As always, we can never say thank you enough for your understanding and continued business! We are blessed to get to do this as a family every day 🥰

Happy Wednesday!

There are many moving parts to The Dog Lodge!

Behind the scenes it’s more than just playing with pups and picking up p**p 💩

After each dog goes home and before a new pup can show up, we do a deep clean of each room.
It’s disinfecting water dishes and food bowls. It’s sanitizing dog beds & washing blankets.

This process used to be a little faster before this watermelon arrived in my belly and I acquired 2 Jr. Cleaning Assistants, but that is also the beauty of The Dog Lodge, living on site and being a family run business! ☺️

Questions about our cleaning process?

We appreciate feedback like this so much; 🥹
Our goal is to always make leaving your pup easy for you!

Yes, our job is easy: take care of dogs 🐶

But our job is far from simple:
Feeding dogs 🍖
Medicating dogs 💊
Playing with dogs 🎾
Cleaning up after dogs 💩
Updating clients 💬
Checking for vaccines 💉
Laundry 🧺
Dishes 🧼
Mopping 🧽
Sanitizing 🦠
Treats 🍬
Knowing who has allergies 🤧
Knowing who gets along with who 🫶🏽
Knowing who will fight over toys 🥊
Knowing who’s at risk of heat stroke 🥵
Knowing who can be outside in -30 🥶
When can the kids work with us and when is that too stressful on the dogs 👦
Dogs that are agressive with Men 🧔🏽‍♂️
Dogs that are timid of women 👱🏽‍♀️
Rescues with unknown history and lots of anxiety 😦
Dogs that can climb fences if left unattended 🧗

The list goes on and on..

Don’t get me wrong, we love every minute of it! But it makes comments like this touch our hearts in a special way knowing the hard work is valued by you - our clients ❤️❤️❤️
