About | Shake A Paw Kennel | Glen Allan, Ontario

Welcometo Shake A Paw Kennel!

Here at Shake A Paw Kennel, we are a family-run business. Our dogs and puppies are very well-socialized and love kids! We have a 1-year health guarantee against any genetic problems. All of our puppies receive their 1st shots, are dewormed, and vet checked. We keep them till 8 weeks of age as mom teaches and interacts with them. This is very important, so they adapt better to being rehomed. These babies are loved and we only want the best for them.

Please don't hesitate to inquire about coming out to visit our kennel (by appointment only). Come and meet your new friend and companion!

Every child needs a friend by their side. My passion for dogs started in my childhood years with a beloved dog by my side. After I got married and started raising a family, we always had a family farm dog. But I always had this dream of owning Huskies, and eventually, this dream became a reality. This was the beginning of my dog breeding career. We enjoyed raising the puppies so much, that I felt encouraged to expand it to more breeds!

Frequently Asked Question’s

What is included with my puppy?

Your puppy goes home with a blanket that smells like his mom and littermates, a small chew toy, measuring cup, poop scoop bags & holder, small amount of dog food, small bag of training treats, information book on milestones, training and behaviors. The vaccination booklet is also sent along with deworming, all current vaccinations, signed by my Veterinarian.

What do the puppies eat and how often during the day?

You can ask your breeder and veterinarian for advice on the best brand and type of food for your puppy at his/her stage of life. Growing puppies should eat puppy food that is specially formulated to provide the necessary nutrients to fuel their growth spurts!

How often do puppies sleep?

All of that running around can wear a puppy out! Remember that puppies are growing constantly, and sleep is required to help develop a puppy’s central nervous system, immune system, brain, and muscles. In general, puppies should sleep around 15-20 hours a day! Awake for 1 hour and sleep for 2 hours.

When can I take my puppy to the dog park?

Before taking your puppy around town, ensure that you have visited your veterinarian and your puppy has received a clean bill of health and all necessary vaccinations. Safely socializing your puppy is important in creating a healthy dog, but you don’t want to create a negative first impression of the park by taking them too soon. Meeting too many dogs at once can be very overwhelming for a puppy, so start by introducing your puppy to dogs one at a time. Understand some basic dog park safety tips before venturing out to your community park.

What to expect at the first vet visit?

A first visit will be slightly different at every clinic, but there are some common things to expect. Generally, a vet assistant will start the exam by taking vitals, weighing your pup, and taking their temperature. At this point, the veterinarian will step in to perform a comprehensive exam. This exam will include listening to the heart, lungs, palpating the abdomen, and conducting a dental check-up. The vet will then check your puppy's ears, eyes, nose, teeth, and toes, as well as the skin and coat. It is actually a nose to tail exam for the first visit!
Your vet will then go over a vaccination schedule with you and give any vaccinations that you choose to do on that day. Make sure to ask questions about possible symptoms resulting from the vaccinations so you know what to expect for the next few days.

The Facility

Our new Kennel was built in 2019 with a full breeding license in hand. We now have A/C in the summer, climate-controlled temperatures, all in a bright clean environment. Our kennel offers full access to the outdoors with long turf-covered runs, that are built with a coverall overtop that protects all of our puppies and dogs from all weather conditions. All of this combined makes for a very bright and healthy exercise area!

We live on a family owned and operated 200-acre dairy farm, close to Conestoga Lake.
We are inspected annually in the Township of Mapleton.
