For Dogs Who Deserve the Very Best.

At Vita Canis, many of our guests enjoy making new friends during their stay. But we also understand that not every dog wants to mix and play — and that’s absolutely okay. We take time to get to know each guest and respect their unique personality and boundaries.

A Peaceful Stay for Your Best Friend. 

With just six kennels, I can offer truly individual attention—whether you have a lively pup, a wise old soul, or a terrier who needs regular coat care. Every dog is treated like part of the family, with plenty of time for walks, play, and rest.
