A Furry Tail Come True

A Furry Tail Come True is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 140 Bath Nazareth Hwy in Nazareth, PA. It offers cage-free overnight stays, doggy daycare, training and grooming, and dogs spend their days in social play groups.

What does a typical day look like?

Dogs here play together all day, with no mid-day crating. Staff sort them into groups by size, play style and energy. That way a small, mellow dog isn't stuck keeping up with a pack of rowdy large breeds.

The outdoor play yards are large and covered in artificial turf with drainage, so dogs come home cleaner than they would from a dirt lot. Indoors, the space is climate controlled and has its own play area for bad-weather days. The Nazareth location also has an extra-large dock diving pool, so water-loving dogs get time to swim.

Services and amenities

• Cage-free boarding, including group "slumber party" boarding, plus private suites
• Doggy daycare with indoor and outdoor play
• Training from certified dog trainers, including an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT)
• Grooming services
• Medication administration and live webcam access

What sets it apart?

The focus is on socializing. Dogs stay in play groups through the day instead of rotating in and out of crates. Owners who want to check in can watch on the live webcams. Because certified trainers work on staff, the place also suits owners who care about behavior and manners as much as exercise.
