Breeds with longer coats should begin the grooming process as soon as the second set of puppy shots have been completed. These breeds include but are not limited to: - Poodles - Yorkies - Maltese - Shih Tzus - Havanese - Cocker Spaniels Familiarizing your puppy with grooming, even if it is a simple bath, will help him learn that grooming is a pleasant experience at an early age. It also helps to touch and play with your puppy’s feet so that they are not scared when they get their nails trimmed. My Dog is shaking-does that mean he is scared or doesn’t like the groomer? Not necessarily, he may just be excited from the car ride or not sure if he is going to the vet to get a shot! Much like kids in preschool, once you are gone they settle down and get more comfortable. Dogs are very intuitive, as we all know, and will pick up any anxiety that you may be feeling, so it is important to be calm and reassuring.

If your dog is matted, we will discuss with you the degree and if we think we will be able to remove the matting without discomfort. De-matting without pain takes skill and patience, so it is important that you make us aware of any matting when making your pet’s appointment, so you dog’s service can be scheduled with extra time. Needless to say, extra time means extra charges. De-matting fees start at $15.00 per 30 minutes of de-matting in addition the price of the groom. De-matting will not be performed on a dog that has severe matting to the skin or on a dog that is elderly or has medical conditions.

At Doggie D’Tails only gentle grooming practices are used. We have heard very sad stories about how difficult dogs are treated at some grooming shops and want to make sure that does not happen to any of our clients! We are always very honest with our clients regarding their dogs’ behavior. Please advise us at check-in if your pet does not like having their nails trimmed, face trimmed, etc.

You may bring your preferred pet food. No other supplies or equipment needed. Doggie D'Tails provides sanitized stainless steel bowls for food and water. We also have a large variety of dog and cat beds, and lots of blankets.

If your pet has any food allergies, is on a special diet or a veterinary prescribed formula, please bring your pet’s food from home. We suggest that you bring a little bit extra, in case your pet’s stay is extended. Any unused food you supply will be returned to you at check-out. In general, maintaining the same diet being eaten at home is a good idea, and we encourage you to bring your own dog and cat food. If this is not practical, or if we run out of your food during your pet’s stay, Doggie D'Tails does feed quality dog food. We maintain a variety of dry and canned foods on hand. If you would like us to use our food, at time of check-in, please let the Doggie D'Tails staff know of your dog or cat’s current diet, and we will match it as closely as possible Additional fees may apply for food preparation above and beyond standard dry and canned food, or for meals/treats in addition to or outside of our standard feeding schedule. Please speak with a Doggie D'Tails staff about your pet’s requirements when making your reservation.

Dogs – Twice a day feeding, a raised bed with clean cozy blankets, and plenty of fresh water. DAYCARE SERVICE CAN BE INCLUDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE. Cats – included at no extra charge is a litter box, twice a day feeding if you have supplied your cat’s own food, fresh water, a soft bed with a small blanket or towel.

Yes. Dogs go outside for exercise/bathroom breaks constantly during the normal business hours.

Some owners don’t mind having their dogs out in the rain, and for these hearty guys, our staff bundles up and heads outside to play with the dogs under two awnings. For the dog – or owner – who doesn’t see it that way, Doggie D'Tails has two large indoor arenas for ball playing, tug-a-war, and all kinds of activities.

Only if you want – and if your dog is spayed or neutered and passes our temperament test. If so, you can sign your dog up for our group play activities. Your dog will get to spend most of the day socializing with our other guests in both our outside and inside play areas, under the watchful eye of a Doggie D'Tails staff member. Otherwise, your dog will never be with any dog other than those sharing a cabin with it.

At Doggie D'Tails, we take our vaccination requirements very seriously. We are concerned with both the health of your pet, and the health of all the other animals your pet may come in contact with while boarding with us. When making a reservation, our Doggie D'Tails staff will let you know what vaccination information if any, we have on file for your pet, and when we show those vaccinations are due to expire. However, it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that Doggie D'Tails has required proof of vaccinations prior to boarding. We cannot allow an animal into our boarding facility that is not in compliance with our vaccination requirements. Dogs (Must be at least 8 months old) – Rabies, DHPP (Distemper), Lepto & Bordatella are required every 12 months. Cats (Must be at least 8 months old) – Rabies, FVRCP & FeLV (Feline Leukemia) are required. Medical Stability – Pets undergoing treatment for a medical condition must have written veterinary clearance to board in a non-medical, non-24 hour facility.
