Happy Tails Kennel

Happy Tails Kennel is a traditional dog boarding facility at #1 Silverhills Lane SE in Albuquerque, NM, with grooming offered on site. Dogs stay in large indoor/outdoor kennels and runs, and every stay includes meals, treats, and time outside. Boarding is $48 per night.

What a stay includes

• Large indoor/outdoor kennels and runs with radiant in-floor heat
• Soft beds and blankets
• Breakfast and dinner, with special feeding arrangements available
• Multiple USA-made treats each day
• Two outdoor potty breaks and play time daily

How dogs spend the day

Dogs get two outdoor potty breaks and play time each day in the kennel's outdoor space. They are kept separate from dogs belonging to other households, so a shy dog, a senior, or one that simply doesn't enjoy group play isn't mixed into a crowd. That individual approach is the main thing separating this kennel from open-play daycare models. The kennels are climate controlled and heated from the floor up, which matters in a city that swings from hot afternoons to cold nights.

Food, medication, and grooming

Breakfast and dinner come with the nightly rate, and special feeding arrangements can be made for dogs with particular diets. Staff will administer medication that owners send along with instructions. Grooming is available at the same location, and owners can ask about it when they book.

Booking and practical details

Reservations are made by phone at 505-266-6676. Households boarding more than one dog can ask about the multiple dog discount. Full details are on the kennel's site at happytailskenl.com.
