What we offer at Furry Friends:
Dog Daycare
Our dog daycare is conveniently located in the central/downtown Ottawa area. With over 1500 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space, your dogs will love visiting our doggy daycare. Dogs are in a group, averaging 8-12, and are free to roam throughout the inside and backyard space via doggy door.
The dogs have access to a secure, fully fenced outdoor area for bathroom and playtime. They are supervised by experienced daycare staff, as well as monitered by grooming staff inside via surveillance cameras. With regular attendance, your furry friend will stay sociable and active; in turn, you will have a happy and calmer dog at home!
Cat Boarding
We welcome our feline friends to our newly renovated cat boarding facility! This modern cattery was renovated in 2022 to accommodate your fanciest felines! Keeping the original layout of the cat boarding facility, cats are still welcome to come mingle in the communal cat room. We have toys, hiding spots, beds, shelves, and cat trees to keep your cat stimulated, socialized and happy. They will also receive plenty of love and cuddles from our staff during our regular visits to the cattery. We also still provide condos for cats that would prefer not to be in direct contact with other cats, and have added luxury suites perfect for your pampered pet, or a feline family wanting to stay together, yet separated from the other cats.
Dog and Cat Grooming
Our grooming section opened over 15 years ago, in 2003. The salon was moved to a new, much larger location on Hawthorne Avenue in 2014. We took that opportunity to update our equipment and grooming tools. One of our goals is provide high quality grooming standards. There is a certified master groomer on site to answer your questions. We groom both cats and dogs, and even do nail trims for small pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs! We believe that all pets deserve the best.
Make your reservations today! Call us now at 613-236-4005.

Sem (They/Them)
Groomer
Sem is originally a graduate of Petsmart’s Training Academy in November 2017. Wanting further education they took online courses and worked with Paddy Gaffney to develop skills geared towards Poodles and Poodle mixes, and Samoyeds (as well as all double-coated breeds). Currently, Sem is working on achieving the title of Certified Master Groomer with the IPG and CPPS. Sem joined the Furry Friends team in February 2020.
Sem loves working with puppies and doing nail trims for anxious dogs and cats. Their calming presence works wonders to help ease their minds.
Sem enjoys creative grooming, so if that’s of interest, and you are willing to visit every 4 weeks, that may be an option we can work on! They also enjoy spritz’s of cologne and finishing touches like bows, feathers and nail polish.
Sem lives with two affectionate and loving cats. Typhon, is a tortoiseshell-coloured, big, lazy cat whose favourite place to sit is Sem’s lap. Anri is a smokey blue mix with a plush coat. Their mother owns a Samoyed named Koda and a Sheltie named Skye who are the light of their lives.

Thomas Mann
Furry Friends Spa and Daycare, formerly Dawn of a New Day, opened it's doors over 15 years ago. This is thanks to you and the firm belief that your companions deserve comfort in their lives. In November 2014, we moved to a new location situated on Hawthorne Avenue near the Rideau Canal. We modernised the grooming salon and opened a doggy daycare and cat boarding facility. New equipment has also been purchased giving the salon some of the best tools in the industry. Throughout all these changes, we have maintained our goal of providing the highest quality grooming standard, for which our reputation is known. We are looking forward to more changes and improvements in the future.
AT FURRY FRIENDS SPA and DAYCARE, PEOPLE ARE MY CLIENTS And PETS ARE MY FRIENDS!
