About Happy Pooch
Small numbers, big hearts
Happy Pooch has been part of Yellowknife since 2010, and is now under new ownership as of 2026. Our promise is simple: every dog that comes through our gate is treated as one of our own.
We keep our numbers small on purpose. It makes for a family-like experience where every pet is known by name, not as a number. We care for the whole dog, from exercise to everyday care, and we keep you posted on how they're doing.
