Day Care Lounge

Dog Daycare in South Surrey

Supervised full-day play on wide-open outdoor grounds, for the dogs who come two, three, five times a week.

The Day Care Lounge

A Second Home, Not a Holding Pen

A daycare dog isn’t here once a year. They’re here every week, all day, so the day they have here matters. The Day Care Lounge is a full day of supervised play, real outdoor time, and the same team looking after them each visit.

They arrive, they greet the pack, they run, they socialize, and they go home happy and tired. What that actually involves is below.

From $28 (half day)excl. GST

Exercise

Room to Run, Every Single Day

Most daycares around here are indoor rooms measured in square feet. Argos is a real outdoor ranch, with fenced yards and open field, and the dogs get out onto it 4 to 6 times a day.

Those are genuine outdoor adventures, not quick potty breaks. A dog who has actually run, sniffed and explored is a dog who settles at home in the evening.

  • Wide-open grounds: fenced yards & open field
  • 4–6 supervised outdoor adventures a day
  • Real outdoor time, not just potty breaks
  • Home happy and tired

Socialization

Company, in a Setting That’s Actually Safe

Dogs are social animals, and a dog who only ever meets other dogs on a leash at the end of a walk doesn’t get much practice at it. Daycare gives them a regular, supervised setting to be around other dogs.

Every interaction happens with staff present. New dogs meet the pack slowly rather than being dropped into the middle of it.

  • Regular time with a familiar pack
  • Every interaction supervised by staff
  • Gentle, paced introductions for new dogs

For the Dog Who Doesn’t Love Being Left

A dog left alone all day has nothing to do but wait. Some handle it fine. Plenty don’t, and the ones who don’t tend to show it in ways that are hard to live with.

A day of company, movement and attention is the simplest answer to that. Our team watches for the dogs who need more settling and gives it to them.

  • Attentive staff who notice an unsettled dog
  • A routine your dog can predict
  • Company instead of an empty house

Social manners

Good Habits, Gently Reinforced

Daycare isn’t a training program (training is its own service), but a supervised group is where everyday manners get practised whether you plan it or not.

Our staff encourage polite play and interrupt the rough stuff early, using positive, low-pressure reinforcement rather than correction.

  • Polite play encouraged, rough play interrupted early
  • Positive reinforcement, not correction
  • Consistent expectations every visit

Puppy Daycare

A Daycare Day Built for Puppies

Puppies get a daycare day of their own, built around the habits that make everything afterwards easier, and around good manners, taught early.

Crate training, walking practice and a steady routine are part of every visit, so the basics are reinforced all day rather than once a week.

  • Crate training
  • Walking practice
  • Routine, reinforced every visit
  • Manners from the start

  3. 3

    Home Happy and Tired

    By pickup they’ve played, explored and socialized, and they’ll sleep well tonight.

What’s included

In Every Daycare Day

A Full Day, 7 AM – 6 PM

Open seven days a week, with some of the longest hours around, so drop-off and pick-up fit your schedule. Daycare is closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, the two days pick-up and drop-off pause.

Supervised Play

Staff supervise every session. No dog is left to sort things out on their own.

4–6 Outdoor Adventures

Scheduled trips out onto the open grounds throughout the day.

Packs That Fit

Dogs are grouped by size, energy and temperament, and staff keep assessing so every pack is safe and fun to be in.

Before the First Visit

Every new dog starts with a meet-and-greet. Their first day is a paid trial day in our VIP care, so they can get used to the routine, the staff and the facility, and meet the pack once they’re ready. For everyone’s safety, up-to-date vaccinations are required. Please bring proof:

Daycare Questions, Answered

Can I see the ranch before I book?

Yes. Tours are free and by appointment. Please bring your dog along: they’re the one we really need to meet. Book through the contact form or give us a call.

Is daycare open on holidays?

Daycare is open on every holiday except two: it's closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, the only days we pause pick-ups and drop-offs. Dogs boarding with us over those days are still cared for exactly as always.

How long are daycare packages valid?

10-day packages are valid for 60 days; 20-day packages for 120 days. Packages are non-refundable and can only be used for daycare.

My dog has never been to daycare. How do we start?

Every new dog starts with a meet-and-greet. Their first day is a paid trial day in our VIP care, so they can get used to the routine, the staff and the facility, and meet the pack once they’re ready. A first day can be a lot for some dogs, so we ease them in.

How are daycare groups organized?

Dogs are grouped by size, energy and temperament. Staff assess every dog and keep watching through the day, so each pack is safe to supervise and fun to be part of.

What are daycare drop-off and pick-up times?

Drop-off is from 7 AM and pick-up by 6 PM. Early drop-off is $10 from 6:00 to 6:30 AM and $5 from 6:30 to 7:00 AM; late pick-up between 6 and 8 PM is $20.

Do you offer puppy daycare?

Yes. Puppy Daycare is built for puppies, with crate training, walking practice and plenty of routine reinforcement, with good manners taught from the start. It’s $50 per dog.

What are your hours?

We're open seven days a week, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some of the longest hours in the area, so drop-off and pick-up fit your schedule rather than ours.

What vaccinations does my dog need?

Valid vaccinations are required: Distemper, Parvo, Rabies and Bordetella. Please have your records handy before your first visit.

Do your prices include GST?

No. All listed prices exclude 5% GST and are subject to change. See the pricing page for current rates.

Do you require dogs to be spayed or neutered?
