   A Happy Customer

Hudson always loves going to Tucker Pup's for daycare, so we knew he would be well taken care of while there for boarding. In fact, we were worried he'd have so much fun while we were gone he wouldn't want to come home.

It was nice to know he would play all day so he would be tired and just sleep all night. I would hate for him to be somewhere where he was crated all day with only a few walks or play times. It was also nice that it was one package deal, whereas at other places you pay a different price for how many times your dog gets to play.

We also liked that he would be around his friends and the Tucker Pup's staff while we were gone so he would get a lot of TLC.

I knew he would be safe and well taken care and we did not have to worry about him while we were gone.

Karl, Kristi, and Hudson Jones
