boarding, training & grooming facilities for your favorite feline and canine
friends. Founded by Suzen Dennis, Tailwaggers not only meets the needs of
every dog and their owner by providing a clean, safe facility, but also
creates a lush retreat for your friend, spanning 34 beautiful
country acres. A vacation at Tailwaggers Country Inn is like a trip to
summer camp for your pooch, as we plan a full itinerary of playtime;
including ball, Frisbee, swimming and socialization.
Tailwaggers prides themselves on quality care for all its guests. We provide
individual sleeping quarters, quality meals, personalized care for medicines
and special food needs. Jason Godwin, our Canine Behaviorist/Trainer lives

spa package to ensure that your pet is returned to you feeling and looking
extra special. Tailwaggers Country Inn also offers daily pickup and delivery
service to Dallas and Collin Counties, as well as some surrounding areas. So
if it’s peace of mind you are seeking for the time you must be apart from
your beloved friend, Tailwaggers Country Inn offers you this and so much
more! We understand how much your dog means to you, how much a person’s life
can be enriched by that unconditional love. We are here to ensure that even
in your absence, your friend will know continued and uninterrupted caring.
