Why Choose Phoenix Waggy Tails?

Spacious, Safe, and Clean Environment

Our dog daycare features a generous 4,000 square feet of indoor play area space, carefully sectioned into three rooms. This allows dogs to be grouped by size and temperament, ensuring they can play and socialize in a supervised and safe environment. We also have an outdoor play area where the dogs are able to get a breath of fresh air a few times per day! Our facility maintains a clean and hygienic environment, utilizing only non-toxic, pet-safe cleaners.

Personalized Attention

We believe that every dog deserves to live a happy and healthy life. We strive to provide a fun and safe environment for your pet, while also giving them the exercise and attention they need to thrive. To prioritize the well-being of each dog, we limit the number of daycare dogs. This ensures that every furry friend receives the special attention and care they deserve. Our staff members are extensively trained in canine First Aid and CPR, providing an added layer of safety and expertise for your pet's care.

Kennel Cough Awareness

Kennel Cough (Bordetella)

Just like child daycares, schools, workplaces, markets, etc. with kids and adults getting a “cold”, our dogs can get it too!

Kennel cough (sometimes referred to as canine cough) is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Kennel cough can be contracted at places like the dog park, vet, groomer, doggy daycare/boarding facilities, shelter environments, etc. Like the human cold, kennel cough can be spread through airborne transmission, nose-to-nose contact, or sharing food/water bowls.

If your dog is affected with kennel cough, you may notice one or more of the following symptoms:

• a strong cough, often with a “honking” sound – this is the most obvious symptom

• runny nose

• sneezing

• lethargy

• loss of appetite

• low fever

Typically, most pups can fight kennel cough on their own. However, some veterinarians may prescribe antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection and cough medication to ease symptoms.

Although most cases of kennel cough are caused by bordetella, some are caused by other agents, including the bacteria bordetella bronchiseptica, canine adenovirus type 2, canine parainfluenza virus, canine respiratory coronavirus, and mycoplasmas, so the vaccine may not prevent your dog from catching the disease. The bordetella vaccine only prevents one strain of kennel cough.

We do our best at Phoenix Waggy Tails to prevent kennel cough within our facility by using veterinarian-grade cleaners and cleaning as often as possible, especially in peak season months.

*However, it is an airborne virus and cannot be entirely prevented. Please know there is a risk of your pup catching kennel cough by attending our facility, like there is at any daycare/boarding facility.
