Furkids Incorporated

Furkids Incorporated is a structured enrichment center at 1900 N. Nebraska Ave that offers dog daycare in Tampa along with kennel-free boarding. Instead of one large free-for-all playgroup, dogs spend the day in small supervised groups that rotate between play, manners practice, planned activities, and rest.

What does a day look like?

The center compares its program to a school for kids, with naptime, arts and crafts, and P.E. built into the schedule. The curriculum was designed by canine behavioral experts and mixes physical, mental, sensory, and social enrichment. Play groups are capped at 12 dogs, and training relies on positive reinforcement. Solo enrichment sessions are also available for dogs who do better with some time on their own.

Services and amenities

• Enrichment daycare and cage-free boarding
• Real-grass, shaded outdoor yards, indoor play space, and a dog sensory garden
• A climate-controlled facility with webcam access for owners
• Grooming add-ons such as towel-dry baths, brush-outs, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning
• Training, medication administration, and special diet or allergy accommodations

What sets it apart?

Furkids is Fear Free Certified and holds Infectious Disease Management certification from Heroes For Healthy Pets. Its staff are certified in pet CPR and first aid. Owners get photo and video updates, and the webcams let them check in whenever they want. For Tampa owners who worry about how their dog really spends the day, that kind of visibility may matter as much as the play itself.
