Proprietary Barcoding System
Our Barcoding System Helps Ensure Accuracy
Other facilities use paper, outdated software, marker boards, or rely on employees to follow your instructions and to identify which dog is which. This can easily lead to risks such as your dog getting someone else’s food or medicine, or even the staff bringing you the wrong dog at checkout. The issue is magnified when two dogs look alike, which is a common occurrence at all pet businesses.
In contrast, Tucker Pup’s has built our own proprietary barcoding technology, called PetScanner, to ensure total accuracy when tracking food, medicine, treats, grooming, breaks, laundry, belongings, and special instructions. We even use it when bringing your dog to you.

Frozen Peanut Butter Kongs
Dogs Love Their Bedtime Snack
We offer frozen peanut butter Kongs as a boarding option, that we would give when your dog goes to its suite at the end of the day. The Kongs are virtually non-destructible, and dogs love to try to get out the tasty peanut butter. They are a great way to keep your dog occupied mentally and physically, while reducing any potential stress.
We have Kongs of all sizes, and will make sure your dog gets the appropriate size. We only use dog-safe peanut butter.

Puppy Socials
Overview of Puppy Socials (1:13)
If you have a puppy, we strongly encourage you to participate in some socials before you board with us. These help become well-socialized and more acclimated to group play, an integral part of our boarding experience.
Puppy socials are far better than dog parks for introducing your puppy to play. Our socials are run by trainers, all of the puppies must be vaccinated, the room is very clean, the weather doesn't matter, and we infuse fun games and exercises along with the play time.
We offer three types of puppy socials:
- Confidence Builder: For puppies who are on the shy side, still trying to get comfortable with playing with others. They must be between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old, and 35 pounds or less.
- Tiny Tots: For puppies who are 15 pounds and under, who are between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old, and whose play style is not overbearing with the other puppies.
- Whippersnappers: For playful puppies who are between 15 and 35 pounds, and who are between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old. The puppies in this social should be comfortable playing with others, even those who may be larger.
Stay And Train
Sample Stay and Train Exercises (1:01)
With our Stay and Train program, our training staff can work with your dog while here for daycare or boarding. We can supplement work you are doing at home, giving your dog more repetitions to help it master the commands that you specify. After you check out, our staff can meet with you to discuss what we worked on, so you can be consistent and achieve your goals.
