Underdog Kennels

Underdog Kennels runs dog boarding and dog daycare in Dallas, Texas, with grooming and training offered at the same facility. Overnight guests can stay in private suites, and indoor areas are climate-controlled year round. Reservations are made online.

What the facility offers

The property has more than 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space. Outside, secure turf yards include shade structures and wading pools. Inside, dogs have climate-controlled rooms and jungle gym-style play equipment to climb on. Every dog goes through temperament testing first, then gets grouped by size, age, and play style.

• Overnight boarding, including VIP suites with full-sized twin beds, flat screen TVs, and DVD players
• Structured daycare with supervised group play
• Grooming
• Training
• Private playtimes booked in 15-minute increments

What sets it apart

The room service menu is the detail most owners remember: grass-fed ribeye, Atlantic salmon, chicken, and Frosty Paws for dessert. Frequent Player discount packages never expire, which matters for owners who buy daycare in bulk and use it unevenly across the year. The kennel is part of The Dog Gurus membership community. For dogs who would rather not join a playgroup, private playtime is available in short increments instead.
