Dog Daycare
Voted Best of Detroit by Hour Magazine readers since 2014, Canine to Five provides dogs with a safe, clean, and super fun environment to socialize, play, and burn off extra energy while you’re busy at work all day. We maintain a high staffing ratio, offer extensive staff training, and treat every dog as if they were our own.
Group Play Daycare
Your dog’s safety and comfort is our top priority at Canine To Five. In order to provide the most socially centered indoor/outdoor dog daycare in Metro Detroit, we give each dog the time and attention it deserves and work with all the dogs together to create a balanced pack atmosphere. We keep a high employee-to-dog ratio and our trained staff of Pack Leaders are knowledgeable in canine first aid, CPR, and animal behavior.
To participate in Group Play, all dogs must be between 12 weeks - 12 years old, spayed/neutered if 9 months or older, be up to date on their vaccines, and pass an evaluation. Evaluations do expire if your pup hasn't visited us in over 6 months. We recommend visiting at least once per week to stay active and establish a good routine for your dog.

Private Play Daycare
**At this time, we are only accepting new Private Play dogs at our Commerce Twp. location** Group play dog daycare isn’t the best fit for all dogs, but all dogs deserve the benefits of socialization and a safe place to go while their owners are away. That’s why Canine to Five has developed a unique service, available at our Midtown Detroit, Ferndale and Commerce Township locations, to meet the needs of dogs that need a little more one-on-one time for their comfort, or don’t meet our group play requirements.
To participate in Private Play, all dogs must be between 12 weeks - 12 years old, up to date on their vaccines, non-aggressive towards humans, and pass an evaluation. While we do accept unaltered dogs, for safety reasons, we cannot lodge dogs while they are in heat or pregnant. Evaluations do expire if your pup hasn't visited us in over 6 months. We recommend visiting at least once per week to stay active and establish a good routine for your dog. Select New Clients to schedule your dog's first day of play!

The best daycare in town! Their staff are highly trained and professional, and their facilities are clean, and the dogs’ well-being is their top priority. It’s great to know she’s in good hands to get some exercise and pack time in while we off at work or on vacation. We refuse to take our dog anywhere else! The staff are kind, friendly and love Marnie as their own!
