Welcome to The Ridge
Think summer camp - but for dogs.
The Ridge is a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility nestled on a beautiful 10-acre country property just outside Waterdown.
We've created a place where dogs can play, explore, socialize and relax—all while receiving the kind of attentive care we'd want for our own dogs.
Whether they're here for the day or staying while you're away, our goal is simple:
We want them to love coming here.

"I’ve been taking my pup Bruce to the Ridge for months now and I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. He’s always so tired when I pick him up at the end of the day and I love being able to see photos and videos of his play time with the other dogs. "

"What an excellent place for dogs to stay. I struggle to call it a kennel because that doesn't conjure the right sentiment. It's more like a summer camp for dogs."
