Tucker Pup's requires the following characteristics of all dogs who join us for daycare. This helps ensure the safety of all of our customers, their dogs, and our staff.
Not overly aggressive. Identifying "aggressiveness" can be a fine line. We know it's normal for most dogs to show some signs of aggression in a group environment from time to time. For example, your dog might growl at another dog to communicate that he doesn't want his space to be invaded at the moment, and certainly growling is better than fighting. However, our staff will be ultimate judge of whether the behavior goes over the line, to the detriment of the other dogs. Incidents such as fighting, snapping, and biting will simply not be tolerated. Normally we will try to use a "three-strikes" rule, but depending on the severity of the incident, your dog might not be allowed to continue coming to visit us. Otherwise, we recognize that minor cuts or abrasions may occur from time to time due to wrestling and playing, and we will take every matter into consideration with fairness.
No pit bulls or pit mixes. We know that your pit bull is incredibly nice and would never hurt anyone. We also know it is not fair that they get such a bum rap in this world. However, as is standard practice in the dog daycare industry across the country, we do not allow pit bulls or pit mixes at this time. Certain dogs such as these tend to not be as comfortable in a play group environment, and they also tend to have a very short fuse while being very physically strong. We cannot accept the risk that a dog, customer, or our staff could get seriously injured. In addition, many other customers are not comfortable putting their dog in a group with a pit bull, and we can't alienate our customer base on behalf of one dog. Sorry.
No females in heat. Lots of male dogs and one female in heat, all in a confined space. You get the picture.
Spayed or neutered by 6 months. Large play groups and "intact" dogs are not a good combination. In order to minimize aggressiveness, we do require spaying or neutering by six months. This is standard practice in the dog daycare industry across the country and is for the safety of your dog, our staff, and our customers' dogs.
In good health. For the safety of our other customers, your dog must not exhibit contagious ailments such as the following.
Proof of vaccinations, updated annually. You or your vet must send us proof of vaccinations each year. We'll remind you when they're due, and you can fax them to us at (312) 276-8588 or bring them in.
At least two months old. It's really best that dogs under two months old stay with their mother, so they learn basic skills and behaviors that they will take with them through life. Once they reach two months, they'll also be big enough to stand their ground in a play group.

A Happy Customer
I can't say enough about how happy I am with your grooming services. Every time I bring in Wookie and Lucy I am met by the groomer and asked how I would like them cut. The dogs love being there and are always perfectly cut, dried, fluffy and even more adorable than they were when I dropped them off. The fast turnaround is a big plus as well.
