From the picturesque trails of Nose Hill Park to the scenic pathways of Prince’s Island Park, there are endless opportunities for outdoor fun. Enjoy the majestic Rocky Mountains and the winding Bow River while your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they crave.

• • 2. Tailored Nutrition A balanced diet is crucial for your dog’s health. I ensure each pup at Paws Away gets high-quality, nutritious meals suited to their age, breed, and activity level. Consult with your vet to find the best diet for your furry friend, and remember to keep treats healthy and portion-controlled.

• • 3. Regular Vet Visits Routine check-ups are vital for your dog’s well-being. Early detection of health issues can prevent serious problems. Keep up with vaccinations, parasite control, and dental care to ensure your dog stays in top shape. At Paws Away, I keep a close eye on your pup’s health and follow all veterinary recommendations.

• • 4. Exercise and Playtime Physical activity is key to a happy dog. Calgary offers numerous dog-friendly parks and trails like Nose Hill Park and Bow River Pathway. At Paws Away, I make sure every dog enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime, whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or interactive toys to engage their minds.

At Paws Away, I create a safe and friendly environment where dogs can interact and play, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
