Fun Activities for the Perfect Dog Boarding Stay

We appreciate that each dog is an individual with their own needs and desires. That’s why we invite you to choose the best blend of exercise, enrichment, and socialization for your furry friend. An appropriate activity routine keeps your dog’s mind and body active and stimulated every day of their dog boarding stay. We offer a variety of daily Activity Packages to choose from, starting at only $14.95 per day in addition to the nightly lodging rate. Here are just a few ways we can enhance your pet’s experience:

Group Play

If your friendly pup thrives in the company of their fellow canines, our group play option is perfect. Your dog will spend their days romping across our 10 play yards, making new friends (dog and human!), and exploring our playground equipment and seasonal splash pools. Your dog will make lots of new friends and memories with us!

Individual Play

Our one-on-one play options are perfect for dogs who prefer to play with a human friend. Each play session is customized to suit your dog’s preferences whether they want to play a game of fetch, get lots of belly rubs, or splash in the pools. They’ll get all the attention they crave!

Photo Updates

We know it can be hard to be separated from your dog. That’s why we offer photo updates in most of our packages! We’ll send a photo right to your phone or email to show you all the fun your pup is having at Happy Tails.

Puppy Care

Like human children, puppies have unique needs that deserve special consideration. Our puppy package includes additional play sessions, extra potty walks, and opportunities for socialization with humans and other puppies.

Senior and Special Needs Care

At Happy Tails, we understand some dogs need a little extra TLC. Our senior and special needs guests receive everything they need for a relaxing, fulfilling stay. With stretch breaks, raised orthopedic bedding, and unlimited administration of medications, we ensure your dog is healthy and happy in our care.

Dog Boarding FAQ

What vaccinations are required?

For the safety and health of all our guests, all guests must submit proof of immunization against rabies, distemper, Bordetella, and canine influenza.

Are reservations required?

In order to keep our facility one of the safest in the area, we depend on having the right level of staffing for the number of dogs every day. For this reason, we do require reservations for all of our services.

Can I tour the resort?

We’d love to show you our pet resort! Drop by any time during our operating hours to go on a guided tour.

Should I bring my dog’s food?

To keep your pet on their usual diet, we encourage you to bring your pet’s own food, bagged and labeled in individual servings. We do have Iams Minichunks available for a small extra charge. A special food prep charge may apply for specific food preparation requirements.

What about bedding?

A comfortable raised bed is provided, so we ask you please leave your pet’s bedding at home.

I have multiple dogs, can they stay together?

Our enclosures are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate most doggie siblings, but extra large pets and those with certain feeding and medication requirements may need to lodge individually. Call us to see how we can accommodate your fur family.

Can you accommodate special needs pets?

Happy Tails can accommodate many special needs pets. Please call us to discuss how we can accommodate your pet.

My pet takes medication. Can you administer medication?

Yes, we’re able to administer many oral and topical medications for a small fee. Please bring all medications in their original containers with clearly written instructions. We also offer a special TLC Package designed for older and special needs pets which includes unlimited medication administration.
