Reservations & Cancellations
We appreciate it when you schedule your dog in advance for daycare either on an ad-hoc or regular basis. Happy Tails is often full to capacity and turns call-in clients away so that we can save space for clients who make reservations. If your dog will not attend daycare on a scheduled day, please call us to cancel your reservation by 8AM that day. If you do not call to cancel, we will charge you for the price of your reservation.

Benefits of Dog Daycare
Exercise Most canine breeds need anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours of exercise per day just to stay healthy. Happy Tails' 4,000 square feet of inside play space and over 2,000 square foot outside play yard provides plenty of space for your dog to run, jump, chase, fetch and roll.
Social skills Your dog will learn to interact both with other dogs and people making it easier for you to take your dog in public.
Health Not only do dogs need plenty of daily exercise but rest and nutrition are also important to their health and happiness. Happy Tails' structured daily activities include naptime, lunch, snacks and, of course, plenty of water.
Safety You can have peace of mind that your dog is safe while you can't be with him/her. Happy Tails' thorough application process promotes a safe dog community and, of course, we do not use force to discipline our canine clients.
