Large indoor play floor. We offer a very large play floor so your dog can socialize with a lot of friends and still have plenty of room to move around and not be crowded.
Large outdoor space, including swimming pools. Our outdoor play area lets your dog take in the fresh air, swim in the pool, play on the playground equipment, and have fun in the sun. The area is fenced-in for total safety and is easily accessible to the indoor play area. Our outdoor potty area lets him do his business outside like he's used to doing at home.
Outdoor canine grass! Tucker Pup's proudly boasts 2,000 square feet of canine grass in our outdoor play area. Many daycares don't have any outdoor space at all (or just a tiny area to go potty then come back in). If they do, it is more than likely on asphalt, gravel, concrete, or what used to be grass but is now just dirt. This means the dogs may come home smelly, dirty, matted, plus have a higher likelihood of getting sick. This is because these surfaces absorb pee and odor, can get very hot in the summer, and can easily create puddles which could lead to bacteria formation. The dogs' feet can also become tender or sore from a hard or gravel surface. Our canine grass is specifically made for dogs, as it is very cushiony and cool to the touch, plus has microbial blades that repel bacteria, an indestructible design so the dogs can't tear it up, a drainage system, and an air grid that keeps it properly ventilated and free of puddles. The dogs love it and they come home clean, happy and healthy after playing on it.
Manageable play groups. Tucker Pup's makes every effort to keep our dogs in manageable play groups - for example, we have groups for big, small, active, and less active dogs. We also ensure that your dog gets enough rest during the day after activity. All of this helps your furry friend be comfortable, avoid skirmishes, minimize stress, and get the most out of spending the day with us.
No cages. We don't use cages during daycare. It's against our nature.
Training methods reinforced. Because we also offer obedience and agility training, our staff understands the importance of consistent communication with your dog. That's why we fully reinforce training commands, rules, and gestures during daycare, helping ensure that your dog doesn't slack off on everything you've learned together in class. This is certainly not a substitute for going through proper training classes, but it will help you keep him well-mannered, well-socialized, and a good listener while he's away from you.
Cushioned rubber floor. Every inch of our play floor is made of rubber, which keeps your dog from running and jumping on concrete or tiles, and therefore minimizes injuries and joint stress. In addition, the floor is completely sealed and waterproof, ensuring that it is highly sanitary and odor-free.
Weekend daycare available with flexible pricing. Unlike many facilities, we offer daycare on the weekends at a cost of $6 per hour with a maximum of $30 for the day. What's even better is that no reservation is necessary, so you have total flexibility in planning your day. As a result, you could drop him off while you run some errands, or even to tire him out so you can go out that night without feeling guilty. It also means that when it's too cold, too hot, or too wet, he can still have fun without you having to stand outside like a...well, you get the point.
Credit cards and automatic recurring payment option. Tucker Pup's gladly accepts credit cards and checks, and we offer the option to automatically charge your credit card when you've used your daycare sessions. This makes it extremely easy for those customers who send their dog to daycare on a regular basis.

A Happy Customer
Tucker Pup's owner and staff are by far the best I have yet to experience with my dog. I am a first-time dog owner; that being said, there are a few things that need to be explained to me in a little more detail. They were kind and educated enough to help me understand the proper way to groom and maintain my dog. They were able to correct another groomer's mistake and now my dog is looking like a handsome boy again. Thank you so much for the time and consideration taken with myself and my dog Buster.
