If your dog is starting to slow down a bit, you’re not alone. Just like people, dogs change as they age—and that means they need a little extra care, patience, and comfort. At Tailwaggers Country Inn, we welcome senior pets with open arms and understand that older dogs often need a softer touch, a slower pace, and some thoughtful accommodations to feel their best.
Comfort Comes First
One of the most important things for senior dogs is a quiet, cozy place to rest—and we’ve built just that. Our all-inclusive resort sits on 34 peaceful acres and offers spacious, climate-controlled suites with soft, clean bedding that’s washed daily. For pups with joint issues or arthritis, orthopedic beds help take pressure off sore spots, allowing them to sleep comfortably through the night.
It’s not just about the beds, though—it’s the whole environment. We keep things calm, predictable, and gentle, which helps older dogs feel more secure. If your dog prefers downtime over play, they’ll have no trouble finding a peaceful spot to relax.
Thoughtful Care from a Loving Team
Our staff is not only experienced, but also CPR and First Aid certified for animals. We know that senior dogs can come with special routines—maybe they need medication, a particular diet, or just someone who pays close attention to how they’re feeling. That’s exactly what we do. Every day, we’re here to make sure your pup gets the care they need with a gentle and attentive approach.
Whether it’s helping them get up and moving in the morning, keeping an eye out for stiffness or fatigue, or just giving them a little extra love when they need it—we’re on it. We treat every pet like our own, especially the older ones who’ve earned a little more pampering.
Low-Impact Fun: Swimming for Senior Dogs
We’re big believers in keeping dogs active at any age—but that doesn’t mean high-energy romps are right for everyone. For senior pets, swimming is the perfect solution. Our in-ground pool offers low-impact exercise that’s easy on joints and great for building strength and staying mobile. Whether your dog loves the water or is just learning to paddle, our team provides close supervision and encouragement to make it a fun and safe activity.
More Than Just a Stay—It’s a Retreat
Everything at Tailwaggers is designed to make your dog feel right at home. For seniors, that includes things like lap time, cuddles, and even relaxing in our doggy lounge with calming music and DogTV. It might sound funny, but it really works—many dogs settle in better when they have familiar sounds and comfort around them.
And when the weather isn’t ideal, our indoor gym means they still get light exercise without braving the elements. Every part of our routine is tailored to your dog’s needs and energy level.
Because They Deserve the Best
If you’ve been wondering where to board your older dog—or maybe just give them a little vacation of their own—Tailwaggers Country Inn is here to help. We truly love what we do, and caring for aging dogs is a big part of that. With comfortable suites, safe exercise, and lots of personal attention, your senior pup will be in the best hands possible.
