Happy Tails Daycare, Boarding, & Grooming

Happy Tails Daycare, Boarding, & Grooming handles dog boarding, daycare, and grooming in Fort Wayne, Indiana, out of a facility at 14616 Coldwater Road. Overnight stays, daytime care, and a grooming salon all sit under one roof, so a dog can get a bath and a haircut during the same visit.

Services

• Overnight boarding
• Daycare with indoor play areas and outdoor space
• Day boarding with one-on-one attention for dogs that don't do group play
• Individual walks of 15 to 20 minutes
• Grooming, including de-matting and undercoat removal

What sets it apart

Not every dog enjoys a room full of other dogs. Happy Tails runs a day boarding option built for exactly that dog: instead of group play, the dog spends the day with a staff member and gets an individual walk of 15 to 20 minutes. On the grooming side, a spa package adds a specialty shampoo, teeth brushing, and nail grinding to a standard appointment. Groomers also handle de-matting and undercoat removal for coats that need the extra work.

Owners who travel get regular updates. Staff post daily photos and videos to Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, so checking on a boarded dog takes a few seconds on a phone.

Practical details

The facility is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday. Reservations are made by phone at 260-515-4986 rather than through an online form, which also gives owners a chance to ask about their dog's specific needs before the first stay. Published rates run $20 to $45 per day depending on the service. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a dog can board or attend daycare. Owners who want to see the play areas and kennels first can call to schedule a tour by appointment.
