How it started

A small dream

Doolittles started as a small dream built on a love for dogs. Today it is a family run boarding hotel just for small breeds. It sits on our quiet two and a half acre property, one kilometre west of Sylvan Lake.

Why small dogs only

Big dogs, big boo boos

We love dogs of every size. But after fifteen years as a small dog owner, dog parks and big kennels always gave us pause. Accidents happen, even between good dogs. And a big dog can leave a big mark on a small one. Other small dog owners told us they felt the same way. That is what inspired Doolittles.
