All Dogs participating in boarding and daycare at Divine Canine are subject to the terms and conditions of the New Client Service Agreement provided to the client on the trial day. Boarding and daycare clients agree that they have been provided the terms and conditions, have read them thoroughly, and agree to all conditions prior to boarding and daycare.
A Meet and Greet day is an integral and very important step in acclimating each new guest into the group play environment. Our introduction process, which includes a temperament and behavioral assessment, allows us to determine if your dog will benefit from our group play environment. Meet and Greet days are scheduled by appointment and are limited to a small number per day. This allows our staff to work one-on-one with your dog and give them lots of individual attention. Due to high demand and in the interest of maintaining our high levels of safety and customer service, we limit the number of trial days that we perform each week. As a result trial day appointments are usually booked from several days to a week or more in the future. Please take this into consideration when making your appointment!
Absolutely. We offer exit baths as well as full grooming appointments so your dog is clean and ready to return home. Just make an appointment at the front desk in advance.
Generally, our boarding dogs join our daycare dogs in playgroup. We feel the experience of playing is very beneficial to dogs when away from home. It keeps them exercised and allows them to have company when away from their family.
However, we will consider boarding only on a case-by-case basis for dogs who do not do well in a group setting. These dogs would be walked individually or enjoy outside playtime in large individual areas. Please call us at (303) 464-1380 to discuss your dog’s individual situation.
Absolutely. We have large kennels that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably.
Advance reservations are recommended and appreciated but we can often accommodate last-minute needs of previous boarders.

Daycare and group play aren’t the right solutions for all dogs. Although we believe most dogs benefit greatly from canine socialization, sometimes there just isn’t a good fit. If that is the case, we will give you our honest assessment of your dog’s behavior and temperament and provide our best advice on socialization and training.
Luckily, Colorado enjoys over 300 days of sunshine which our dogs greatly enjoy. All dogs can always access cooled or heated indoor areas but most dogs prefer to play outside. In the event of unusually cold weather, we bring the dogs inside to heated areas to play and ensure they don’t get too cold.
● Monday - Friday: 7 AM - 6:30 PM

Unless your dog has gotten into something smelly or dirty, s/he will need to be groomed every four to six weeks to maintain a great appearance. Bathing too frequently will dry out their skin and strip the natural oils from the coat. Grooming a dog infrequently can mask a dog’s skin and coat issues and lead to dematting, shaving, and other extra grooming charges, but most importantly an unhappy dog.
Ideally, you should acquaint your puppy with bathing and nail trimming very early in their life—around 4 months is a good starting point. This ensures that they become lifelong friends with the grooming process and enjoy their routine spa days.
Our groomers are very experienced at handling dogs and are very kind, loving and gentle. If a dog is frightened they use multiple techniques to earn their trust and may alter services to best meet the needs of your pet. In rare circumstances, they may advise the use of veterinary services to sedate your pet. We do not sedate pets at Divine Canine.
Count on up to three hours for your pet to be thoroughly bathed, brushed, and groomed. It may take less time and we will call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
