In Doggieville MTL we accept furry babies if they are not Spayed/Neutered until 11 Months. After the age of 11 Months, all the furry babies are required to get operated. Unfortunately, we can’t accept any fur guest that hasn’t been spayed or neutered who are older than 11 Months as it could interfere with the behaviour and comfort of the other pups around. For these reasons, we ask that all fur guests staying at Sam’s Lodge be spayed/neutered.

But, if your furry baby is not operated for medical reason or any other reason, you can give us a call and we are always happy to make exception to accommodate our furry parents and furry babies needs.
