   A Happy Customer

I love seeing how happy Bailey is when she arrives at Tucker Pup's! I know that the staff will take great care of her and that she'll have a clean, safe environment to play in while I'm gone! It really makes going out of town so much easier because I don't feel guilty that my little puppy is going to be in a dark cage all day. She's not just a number, the people at Tucker Pup's know her name, her likes, her dislikes, and give her one-on-one attention (when she stops playing with the other dogs long enough to give the attention to her).

I would recommend Tucker Pup's to anyone that wants the best for their dog!
