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 accepted. Tucker Pup's gladly accepts credit cards, cash and checks.

A Happy Customer
I just wanted to tell you what a great job the new groomer did with Frankie yesterday!! I'm very happy with the cut, please pass that on to her because I was initially a little taken aback by how short he was so I hope she didn't get the wrong impression - I think it's perfect for the warm weather and I would not change a thing for next time! He looks so great I had to take a ton of pictures and he eventually got sick of me posing him and went and hid under the table the rest of the night. Anyway I just wanted to give you the feedback since it was her first time grooming him, and please pass on the message to her!
Thanks again,
- Sarah Tomec
