Club Tail Wag

Club Tail Wag is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 901 Portland Rd in Saco, Maine. Overnight guests stay in 5x5 lodge pens, each set up with a raised bed and a fleece throw. Grooming and basic training round out the services, and staff will work from a dog's own feeding plan, including special diets. The idea the business puts front and center is a simple one: a comfortable place a dog is glad to come back to.

What sets it apart

New dogs are not dropped straight into the group. Club Tail Wag runs a meet-and-greet evaluation first, so handlers can see how a dog reads the other dogs and how it settles into the space. It is also a chance for owners to talk through their dog's history with group settings. Young pups have their own on-ramp, the Puppy Play & Learn intro program. Households with more than one dog can use sibling and family multi-dog rates.

Practical details

The kennel is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Boarding runs $45 to $60 per night, based on rates published on the kennel's own website. Reservations are handled online, and the phone number is (207) 502-0080 for anything that needs a conversation. Between the weekday hours and online booking, most of the planning can happen without a call. Owners bringing a new dog should plan on that first evaluation visit, and having grooming and training under the same roof means a stay can cover more than a bed and meals.
