DOGGIEVILLE MTL, UNLEASH THE HAPPINESS!

As a doggie mom, I always want to provide the best for my baby Ruby, but it can get tough. Whether grabbing a coffee with her, finding the ideal nutrition in the city’s outskirts, dropping her off for grooming or daycare… I found myself driving miles to get it all done. And I can only guess I’m not the only one who felt overwhelmed. On top of that, the winter months make it challenging to have Ruby around given the limited accessibility to the outdoors. Even in the summer, conditions aren’t always ideal, and I felt restricted with where to bring her to socialize. This is when I recognized the need for an all-in-one doggie complex. This was the very inspiration that ignited us both to open a place that we’ve always dreamed of… DOGGIEVILLE Mtl!

OUR HISTORY

We have a pretty cool story! DOGGIEVILLE Mtl is located on a Heritage Building built in 1919 and was one of the first concrete-reinforced and steel structure buildings in Montreal. It was an integral part of Crane Canada, a major factory complex on the Lachine Canal.

Locations along the canal were considered to be a prime spot for the city’s factories because they could use the canal’s water to power the water wheels used to run their various machine tools.

The building that now houses DOGGIEVILLE Mtl was part of the Crane Canada Co. manufacturing complex that housed the delivery horses that distributed industrial brass and iron plumbing products such as valves and pipes around the city.

In June 2011, a blazing fire destroyed all of 3820 Saint Patrick but left DOGGIEVILLE Mtl intact! Many people contemplated tearing 3824 down but thanks to several petitions and a desire to keep Montreal’s history, the construction company gave up and removed excavators from the site.

We’re proud to have restored such a historic building for four years but also to have the ability to continue practicing animal care. The new facility provides a contemporary environment while preserving the ambiance and charm of the original building. Traditional elements were reinterpreted along with added features to create an iconic place in the rebirth of the Lachine Canal!

With animal care as our number one priority, DOGGIEVILLE Mtl offers every doggie service under one roof. Whether you’re looking for boarding, daycare, training, grooming, hydrotherapy or AN INDOOR PARK, OR simply to surprise your pooch with a new toy, DOGGIEVILLE Mtl offers the best in doggie services.

“Heritage is not about creating museums or locking-up buildings in time. The best examples

of heritage conservation are those that enable the building to be enjoyed and loved.”
