Why Choose Our Daycare?
Tail Gate’s cage-free daycare experience is designed with your dog’s age and activity level in mind. In addition to a 5,500-sq.-ft. outdoor playground, Tail Gate has four indoor areas, each supervised by one of our trained employees.
Your dog’s safety is important! A specially designed chute system and 4-ft. aluminum fencing help us to manage dogs’ introduction to the group and to keep them secure during their stay with us. All areas have water- and scratch-proof floors that are cleaned and sanitized daily. Each area has a variety of safe toys to entertain your dog. Plenty of clean drinking water is provided.
