Half Moon Kennels

Half Moon Kennels is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 3181 Half Moon Ave NW in Tiffin, Iowa, offering overnight stays, long-term boarding, and daytime play for dogs from around Johnson County.

What does a typical day look like?

Dogs spend a good part of the day outside. The property has over 3 acres of fenced outdoor play yards, plus an artificial turf yard set up with agility ramps and tunnels. Play groups are curated, with dogs matched by size, age, and temperament instead of all being turned out together. Inside, the building is climate controlled and has an indoor play area for days when Iowa weather doesn't cooperate.

What's included with a stay?

• Round-the-clock care with staff on site
• Complimentary in-house food, with special diets accommodated
• Medication given for dogs that need it
• Cozy fleece blankets provided
• Grooming and daycare available

The kennel describes its goal as meeting each dog's physical, mental, and social needs. Its whole pitch leans on a simple idea: a well-exercised, tired dog is a happy one at pickup.

How can owners check in while they're away?

Half Moon Kennels posts daily picture updates on its Facebook page, so owners can see their dog out playing during a trip. The kennel also shares content on Instagram and YouTube.
