No, we do not put dogs in the same kennels. Dogs at Happy Tails get plenty of interaction with other dogs during their stay, so they will get time to wind down in their own space when needed.
Our standard nightly rate is $65.00. We offer 10% discounts off the standard rate for those who board an additional pet or board with us longer than 10 days.
We offer three different packages. Each package differs by duration and discount: our 10-day package saves you 10%, our 20-day package saves you 15%, and our 30-day package saves you 20% on boarding costs.
We are open 24/7, so you can drop your dog off or pick them up entirely at your convenience. However, we do charge a $32.50 fee for check-outs after 1pm.
You can book online through our customer portal or call us at (314) 291-3647. We recommend booking in advance during peak holiday seasons like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer vacation periods. First-time guests must complete an orientation before their first boarding stay.
