Happy Tails Bed and Biscuit

Happy Tails Bed and Biscuit is a family-owned dog boarding kennel at 12529 Eldridge Road in Harrison, TN. Dogs stay overnight on 20 wooded acres with a pond. The owners live on the property, and guests sleep in private indoor enclosures inside their home. It also draws owners from the Chattanooga and Cleveland areas who want a country setting for their dog.

What is a stay like?

The kennel calls itself a country retreat, and the setup fits that description. Dogs spend time in large fenced play yards and also get individual nature walks and play times. Indoors, the space is heated and cooled, and soothing music plays continuously. Each dog sleeps on a raised Kuranda bed with soft bedding.

What services are offered?

• Private suites inside the owners' home
• Large fenced outdoor play yards plus indoor play space
• Medication administration and special diets
• Grooming
• Climate-controlled facility

What sets it apart?

At Happy Tails, boarding happens inside the family's own home on a rural property, with the owners living on site. That suits owners who want a quieter, more personal stay than a busy commercial building usually offers. The kennel accepts small, medium and large dogs, so a household with dogs of different sizes can board them all in one place.
