There are no extra fees for raw feeding, medicine administration, or belly rubs. You don't have to worry about adding extra expenses to your boarding bill.

Dog Care and Wellness
At Happytail Boarding Kennels, we prioritize your dog's overall wellness, recognizing that it encompasses physical, mental, and emotional stimulation. We believe that every dog deserves this kind of attention.

Dog
If you're looking for a safe and comfortable place for your furry friend to stay while you're away, dog boarding is a great option. Dog boarding prices start at $45/night, with discounts available for multi-pet families.
You'll need to make a reservation and pay a $35 deposit to secure your spot. Be sure to give at least 48-hour notice if you need to cancel, as refunds are only given under these circumstances.
Cat
If you're looking for a place to board your cat, consider a facility with large suites that can accommodate a multi-cat family - some even offer discounts for multi-cat households.
Our feline friends can get anxious in new environments, so it's essential to choose a boarding facility that prioritizes their comfort and well-being.

Before Your Stay
Before you bring your furry friend to stay with us, we want to ensure their comfort and safety. You can schedule a visit to our kennel to make an initial assessment of your dog's temperament and compatibility.
We'll take a close look at how your dog interacts with new dogs and people to determine if they're a good fit for our Group Play sessions. This helps us provide the best possible experience for all our canine guests.
If your dog has a history of aggressive behavior or "problems" around new dogs or people, they may not be compatible for Group Play. However, we can still provide them with private walks and ball play to keep them happy and engaged.
It's always a good idea to be upfront about your dog's behavior and any challenges they may face. This allows us to tailor their stay to their individual needs and ensure their well-being.
Dog Wellness
Dogs need physical, mental, and emotional stimulation to thrive.
Healthy dogs require a holistic approach to wellness, which includes providing them with the attention they need.
Boarding facilities can offer optional add-on wellness services that cater to a dog's personal needs.
You can purchase these services a la cart or through a wellness package add-on when making a reservation.
For complete wellness, it's essential to consider your dog's individual needs and provide them with the necessary stimulation.
Enrichment
Enrichment is an essential part of a dog's care and wellness. We can't stress enough how crucial it is to provide mental and physical stimulation to our furry friends.
Dogs get out 5-7 times per day to stretch their legs outside and potty, which is a great start. They will be individually cared for and walked in our yard by our Kennel Assistants.
Standard boarding includes all the basics, but if you want to give your dog a little extra love, you can add on enrichment activities. Each activity will give your dog mental and physical stimulation, working one-on-one with one of our team members.
Each activity will last 15-25 minutes, and it's customized to your dog's needs and preferences. You can choose from a variety of activities, such as puzzles, playtime, training reinforcement sessions, or even a real-world walk through the neighborhoods nearby.
Here are some examples of enrichment activities you can choose from:
- Puzzles
- Playtime
- Training reinforcement sessions
- Real-world walks
- Strength & conditioning exercises at Fit Dog
- Utilizing treadmills (dry and water!) at Fit Dog
- PEMF or laser sessions at Fit Dog

You can also buy one or more 10-pack activity sessions to spread out throughout your stay. Each 10-pack of activities is 10% off, so $225 for a 10-pack of activities to split up throughout their stay.
