WHY USE the paw and snout?
We Are A Small Local Company That Cares
We are a locally owned South Calgary business serving the communities where we live. We aren't a large franchise or national corporation.
Being local means we build real relationships with our clients and their pets. We know our neighbourhoods, we know our customers, and we genuinely care about the people we serve. We never lose sight of the fact that without you and your pets, there would be no Paw and Snout. Your trust is something we earn every day.We know that choosing a pet care provider isn't easy. There are many great options available, and almost everyone claims to be the best. We won't make that claim. Instead, we'll let our reputation speak for itself. We are proud to have consistent 5-star ratings on both Google and Facebook, and our greatest compliment is hearing our clients tell us how much they and their pets love our service.
We know we won't always be the lowest-priced option, and that's okay. We know we can't compete with the neighbourhood teenager or someone offering pet care as a side job. Many of those individuals have little formal training, little expenses, limited experience, and often don't carry pet insurance.
For us, pet care isn't a hobby or a part-time job—it's our profession and our passion. This is what we do every day, and every booking allows us to continue providing the highest standard of care possible.
Our pricing doesn't simply cover the time we spend with your pet, it also supports the many things required to operate a safe, reliable, and professional pet care business, including: Commercial Pet insurance - Fuel and vehicle expenses - Equipment and supplies - Licensing and business costs - Ongoing professional education - Pet First Aid certification - Safety and emergency preparedness....well you get it.
We always do our best to be flexible and fair because we understand that every family—and every pet—is unique. We will work with you whenever we reasonably can. What we will never compromise on is the quality of care your pet receives, their safety, or the level of customer service we provide.
Our clients aren't simply customers to us. They become part of our extended family, and we treat every pet as if they were our own.

Our mantra is that No two dogs are alike, which is why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all care.

Because your pet deserves care that's as unique as they are.
