How much does dog daycare cost in New Westminster?

Short answer: At Wag 'n' Woof, a half day of dog daycare (up to 5 hours) is $28.40 + GST and a full day is $39.50 + GST. Buying a pack of 5 to 20 passes saves 5% to 20%, and unlimited monthly daycare is $597.79 + GST, which works out to 30% off. Every new dog starts with a free assessment.

What a day of daycare costs

Here's our current daycare pricing, effective May 15, 2026:

Option Half day (up to 5 hours) Full day (over 5 hours)
Drop-in $28.40 + GST $39.50 + GST
5 passes (5% off) $134.90 + GST $187.63 + GST
10 passes (10% off) $255.60 + GST $355.50 + GST
15 passes (15% off) $362.10 + GST $503.63 + GST
20 passes (20% off) $454.40 + GST $632.00 + GST

Unlimited monthly daycare is $597.79 + GST. It's based on an average of 21.62 weekdays a month, which is why it comes out 30% cheaper than paying day by day if your dog comes every weekday. It renews monthly, and unused days don't carry over.

Half day or full day?

A half day suits dogs who need a midday break from being alone, puppies building up their stamina, or owners who work part-time. A full day covers a regular workday: drop off from 6:30 am, pick up by 6:30 pm.

If you're not sure, start with a few half days. Most dogs tell you quickly whether they want more time with their friends.

How to pay less per day

  • Buy a pack. Even a 5-pass pack saves 5%. Bigger packs save up to 20%.
  • Go monthly if your dog comes most weekdays. That's the biggest saving, at 30%.
  • Bring a second dog. Families with two dogs get a discount. Ask our team for details.
  • Plan around expiry. Pass packs expire 180 days after the date of first use, so pick a pack size you'll use in that time.

What's included

Every daycare day includes:

  • Supervised play in a large common area with other small dogs (35 lb and under)
  • A quiet, private space to rest when your dog needs a break
  • Enrichment like sniffing and puzzle games, plus themed days through the year
  • Pack leaders certified in Dog First Aid watching the floor all day
  • A space cleaned and sanitized daily with dog-safe products

Our daycare is kennel-free, and it's built for small dogs, so play stays fair and little dogs aren't overwhelmed by big ones.

Is dog daycare worth the cost?

For many New Westminster families, daycare replaces a midday dog walker plus the guilt of a long day home alone. A dog who has played and socialized during the day usually comes home calmer and more settled. That's especially true for young, social dogs and for dogs who get bored or anxious when they're left alone.

It isn't right for every dog. Some prefer a quiet day at home, and that's fine. That's exactly what the free assessment is for.
