The staff are all really friendly! He has stayed the night here before and came home happy. We've never had him come home smelling like urine or faeces like you read in reviews of other daycares. It seems like the staff here are always attentive to your furry friends needs, and are never just throwing them in a room full of other dogs.

I've been taking my Wee Angus to the Doghouse once or twice a week, since he was a pup (he's 6 yr…read moreold now). Although I've often thought of writing a review, I never got around to it but when I picked Angus up yesterday, I knew I had to tell anyone looking for a doggie daycare, what a special place the Doghouse is and how wonderful & caring the people who work there are. You can expect your doggie to have walks, play and cuddles, but on occasions like Halloween, you can expect the staff to go above and beyond and add another layer of fun to the day. My Wee Angus really loves coming here. I really appreciate the environment Christine (manager), Laura and Jenna have created for the doggies & the positive work environment they seem to have with each other. This is a great place for small dogs and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a daycare for your small doggie.

Our rescue Markus joined our family December 1, 2018, he was terrified of humans. During the day he…read morehas been going to daycare at The Doghouse. Every visit the first year he gained confidence, he has best friends, human and of course many dog buddies. Check out Instagarm and you will see Markus and all the dogs. He is so happy to attend and gets excited when we are a block away. The staff truly love the dogs and interact with them. When we pick him up we get updates, lately Markus is going on longer walks which is awesome. He is ready for quiet hang out time at the end of the day, having walked, played, napped and snacked. Staff never force him to walk, some days he is more quiet and just wants his pee breaks and short walks, other days he leads the pack. We reccomend The Doghouse 100% !

I trusted VCA to care for my pet, but instead, I feel completely taken advantage of. Be VERY…read morecareful before signing up for their services. I'm deeply disappointed with VCA Canada CareClub. After an apartment fire forced me to relocate more than 50 km away--a valid reason for cancellation under their own contract--I tried to cancel my plan. Despite paying $1,464.66 and only using $338.89 worth of services, VCA kept $1,125.77 of my money! That's money I paid for services I never even used! To make matters worse, when I tried to transfer my plan to a new VCA hospital in my current city, they flat-out refused. So not only did they refuse to transfer my plan, they kept the money after I canceled. The entire contract is designed to exploit customers and squeeze out every penny, no matter the circumstances. This is a blatant money grab and feels heartless, especially considering I've lost everything in a fire. I expected care for my pet, but what I got instead was greed. Be cautious before signing up for this plan--it's unfair and completely lacks compassion. What makes it worse is the predatory practices that VCA engages in. When they automatically renewed my plan they had enrolled me in the wrong plan, and when I had realized this it was already past their arbitrary 60-day window to make changes. Their "options" to resolve the issue were: 1. Cancel my current plan, switch to a Senior Paws Plus plan (which would increase my monthly payments), applying the payments I had already made in the current plan and locking me into a new 12-month contract, 2. Stay on my current plan, get a $516.69 discount on a dental service (but still pay about $800 upfront for the procedure, including anesthesia, x-rays, meds, etc.). Lastly, when the plan was switched over, I was charged for the first month of the new plan and the last month of the old plan in the same month. The real insult? They're happy to offer a discount if I continue paying into their system, but they refuse to refund the excess money I paid for services I never used--money I can't afford to lose as a low-income individual living in social housing and currently without a home. I prioritize my pet's well-being, but clearly, VCA is more interested in draining their customers' wallets than actually helping them care for their pets. I am absolutely disgusted and extremely disappointed with VCA Canada CareClub's lack of ethics and compassion. Avoid them at all costs!

We have used both the daycare and boarding services with no issues at all, staff are very detail oriented, handle medication administration with such professionalism and our dog always comes back in great condition. Staff: The team here is responsive, responsible and always friendly. They have accommodated our many detailed requests in terms of medications, and feeding our dog. They are so patient as we are always experimenting with weird things like adding probiotics/different cooked food mixes, toppers etc. they label everything, and even return containers cleaned! Picture updates are provided (although I wish there were some videos because we are so curious what our doggo gets up to while we are away). Honestly we have never had a bad interaction with anyone on the team. Space: They do split dogs between larger sized breeds and smaller, and the space is absolutely gorgeous, clearly designed with dogs in mind. Take a tour and see for yourself! Dogs are not left alone overnight. There is staff at all times and this was a big draw for why we chose Rex for boarding. There is also outdoor space complete with water activities and things to play with- again another reason we chose Rex. it can be difficult to find a daycare that offers outdoor space in Vancouver! It is also worth mentioning my doggo has never been returned to us with any cleanliness issues. I will note if your dog doesnt like sleeping in an open group environment you might need to pay a bit more for a more private sleeping format. Pricing:Pricing has always been very transparent. You can look on the website and find it listed clearly. I think it's comparable to similar facilities. There are some surcharges for boarding at peak times (ie. $15/night for Christmas) but I think thats understandable. In addition there are fees for medication administration (5 bucks/day) and a deposit (that goes towards your booking) to reserve boarding over stat holidays, but these have always been clear upfront, and staff are responsive to emails/happy to provide quotes before booking so you know exactly what to expect. We don't find the pricing to be unreasonable or ever a surprise although we haven't jumped on the daycare club card discount they offer ($390 for 10 full days) just because it can be lot up of upfront cost for a total 10 dollar discount minimum. However, it's worth noting club cards have no expiry and are totally refundable and likely make sense for other people who maybe take their doggo more regularly than us. Honestly, we once bought a half day card and totally forgot we had it! We were reminded by diligent staff! Most importantly:When we bring our doggo he is always excited and just immediately runs to the staff who are there to greet him. We think he truly adores the staff and his furry friends at Rex. We honestly have no complaints! I'm sure each dog is different so we can only speak to our own experience, but Rex has been great for us so far. If you are considering this place I'd say you really have got nothing to lose checking them out!
