Waggin Tails Pet Ranch

Our dogs stayed for the first time this past weekend based on the recommendation of a friend. Upon check in, we (parents, children, dogs) were greeted promptly. The handler who came to take our dogs genuinely loved on them and spoke with us directly about them. Our dogs happily walked away with her.
They will not nickel and dime you for play/​pet time etc., which as a pet owner, we consider essential as responsible owners. (I have always wondered how a pet ranch/​kennel considers themselves exemplary but also charge you for play/​pet time. We have been to one of those places… never to return.)
We picked our dogs up, and they were happy to see us but obviously well taken care of. The checkout procedure was organized, smooth, and easy on the pocket.
We have already booked them for other visits!

My Milli stayed at Waggin Tails for 12 days. She is 10 months German Shepard mix and very social with other dogs, so I was so happy to find this place. I wanted her to be in a place where she could have lots of play time. On her report card, it was noted how much she loved swimming in the pond and her play group. When we returned home to pick her up, she was happy & squeaky clean from her bath which was included because of the length of her stay. I recently received this card in the mail, which I just LOVED! Very nice touch. See in photos. She will be back!

Waggin’ Tails is a top-​notch place for all pets. It is clean and the staff is always extremely professional and nice to customers. The prices are not bad at all! If you check in, you can even get a discount ($ 10 off!)
My corgidor has come here for boarding and bathing. For boarding, we kept her here for around five days and she was sad when she had to leave! She made a lot of friends, ran around most of the day, swam in the pool, and played outside a lot! They do a wonderful job of asking about medications and always accommodate to our dog’s needs. She loved her stay here.
We also checked her in here for bathing. They bathed her and cut her nails. The bath really washed her up and cleaned her well. She smelled much better after it. The only complaint I have is that she was panting a lot and very thirsty after the bath. I assume that she may have been antsy during the bath and they didn’t give her water. This disappoints me, but I understand that they were not obligated to give her water. I definitely wish they would though!
I do not know the price of boarding her for five days, but the bath was $ 31 in total but I got a discount because I checked in and only paid $ 21! I love this place and trust them wholeheartedly.

You know you’ve found a good spot when the dogs get excited to go! They run in and walk-out…a very good sign.
We have two large dogs, and Waggin Tails is our go-​to place.
The staff is always very sweet. On our first visit, they let us impromptu tour the facility and see how the dogs are kept, where they play, and meet their staff. That was comforting that they don’t just allow scheduled visits.
On our second stay, we got the cutest custom card that had pictures of our dogs from their stay. It was adorable and sweet to see pictures from them outside playing.
I also can’t speak highly enough about their grooming. Both dogs come home clean and smelling good. It’s a small extra charge, but well worth it. Our Malamute mix always gets the low shed brushing of his coat and it makes a world of difference once we’re home! His shedding is not very noticeable for about 1 – 2 weeks after, which is great for me. He is all white and his fur loves my suit separates!
They have gained loyal customers for the life of our pets. :)

I can not say enough about Wagin Tails. I highly recommend having your animals boarded here. They are always very accommodating and helpful. My dog absolutely loves coming here, it’s like a vacation for her. All the personnel are extremely loving to all the animals and I feel completely safe leaving my dog here. The staff know me and my dog by name which is so nice. I had to leave dog at a different establishment once because wagin tails was booked and I was extremely disappointed, I will only be taking my dog to Wagin tails!

Great facility. We always board with Waggin Tails and our dogs love coming here!

We boarded our dog here for a week and they took the best care of him. The whole staff treated him like he was their own! They have a $ 5 vet insurance that if your dog gets sick while there they take them to the vet. Our dog developed a slight cough and they took him to our vet and footed the bill no questions asked! The staff are so sweet and such honest people. I would recommend this place to anyone!

My baby never smiles when I leave him, take that back he does when he goes here. He had a play date to try the ranch out before the real thing, assisted both of us with our anxiety. I do take his food, bed, blankets and we all know yorkies are the patron saints of treats, but they offer to let your baby play with others (of course playing nice) and if the anxiety is too much they can go to a quieter side so chillin is considered.
The report cards are a nice touch and after 7 days a bath is comped. Details are everything, I had specifically wanted to know how they handled hurricanes, terrorist threats, etc. and they do not leave your baby alone. The last hurricane I was trying to watch my guy on a web cam with an 8 hour time difference, frantic that I would not see him again, now I have a FEMA plan for my baby. Nice touch to receive a card after his stay with his photo on it, thought I was the last one on the planet that wrote thank you notes, nice to get one from them.
Staff very warm and loving, they were not upset that I asked for a tour or acted that I was in their way and that they did not have time for me. Very organized, clean and legal documents and waivers and the 2 bordatella shot requirement per year are sterling in my book.
Oh book your Christmas time now, they book a year in advance.

Awesome place to take my dog, tons of room to run and play, Not to mention the staff is amazing…

I’ve researched area pet boarding places, and I was very impressed with this one. The first thing that attracted me was the size. It is located out in the country (or so you can say) and they have two pools the dogs can jump in and play. It’s not too far from the city but away so there’s plenty of fields for them to run. They have group play times (your dog will be tested with similar breeds), and they are taken out 2 to 3 times a day and each time it’s at least one hour ! Other places do not take them out but once a day to use the restroom and if you want just a measly 15 minute of play time it’s EXTRA money you pay. Seriously? This place is incredible. They don’t charge anything extra for having the dogs out. They give extra attention, love, care without the extra silly cost. All you pay is the boarding fee. I can tell you, they took excellent care of my dog. This is the first time I have boarded her and she had no idea if I was coming back or if I was leaving her (lol) so the first two days she did not eat! The staff hand fed her and she ate! Who does that nowadays? This is old fashion love and care and I was tickled pink! They also gave me a report of how she did when I picked her up. Later, I got another report in the mail noting who she played with (down to the breed and name of the dogs)! Wow! They truly pay attention to my dog and has the report to show it. Their health assurance plan is great! 5 dollars per stay not per day! So if you board 10 days, it’s only 5 dollars and it covers up to 500 max dollars in vet fees if your dog were to get sick from BOARDING there. You can read all the details on their web and they will explain when you drop off your dog as well as send a letter home after your stay to inform you of the timeframe you need to claim if your dogs get sick. My dog actually came home sneezing and had a loud hoarse «reverse» sneeze as I later found out. She never sneezed or had this noise before so I was a bit concerned thinking she picked up the kennel cough. but it was only allergies! I did take her to the vet to check it out and they said her chest was fine and she had no temp. I did ask Waggin tails about her symptoms on if they noticed it and they said not at the time she was there but told me to have it checked out if I was concerned and heard a cough. I didn’t want my timeframe to go out to claim so I took her in. A few days later, Tony, the Kennel manager called and asked show she was doing! Double Wow. Nowadays no one cares to call you back. My dog came home happy, tired, and wanting to come back! I love this place and this will be the only place I take my dog. You can take a tour on Saturdays, so do it. You’ll love it.

Waggin Tails is the best place for doggy day care and boarding. My fur-​babies have a blast and come home tired with huge smiles on their faces. Denise and the staff do an outstanding job caring for our «kids». For example, my husband and I had a scheduled business trip to Chicago shortly before hurricane Ike hit the Houston area. We boarded our babies at Waggin Tails. While electricity went out, they already had back up generators queued up to kick in. I was worried sick as I watched the news of the hurricane from my hotel room in Chicago, until Denise sent me a message from her blackberry that the hurricane had passed, and all was well… the doggies were outside playing in the mud and having a ball. My stress level dropped immediately and was so thankful they were in the care of Denise and the Waggin Tails team. I highly recommend them!

What can I say!!! Only the best!!! My dogs get spoiled worse there than they do at home!!! We went on vacation a few years ago for two weeks and I think I called almost every day. I really had never left the dogs that long before and I really did not know much about Waggin Tails. Well let me say, when I leave them now, I never worry as I know they are having fun and getting spoiled. I was kind of hoping that they would lose a couple of pounds; well, I think they got carried around a lot. I, also, take them to doggie day care once or twice a week for extra socialization. They always come home exhausted from having such a good time. They are so excited when I turn down the gravel road into Waggin Tails… The staff loves their job and they love all the dogs as if they were their own. :-) Love everyone there!
(I have a spoiled yorkie and chihuhua.)

Waggin’ Tails has been a huge part of the Fulshear community for many years and as a business owner who has worked for years with the Waggin’ Tails owner, I knew I was boarding my 3 dogs with someone who would spoil them as much as I do! I was given a tour of the clean and organized facilities and the staff took note of my concerns as a first-​time boarder. After picking up my dogs, I received an awesome report of all they had done every day and how they behaved! I couldn’t have asked for better treatment for my «babies»! We have also used Waggin’ Tails grooming services on separate occasions and attended lots of their FREE events for the community. Living in Old Katy, I pass several other groomers and boarders to make Waggin’ Tails my first choice!

Our dog Bentley has spent time at a good number of dog day-​cares. My wife really searches out for the best for our pets, because they are important to our family. Some think its silly, but we enjoy knowing that they are well kept and having a good time.
Waggin’ Tails impressed me. They genuinely care about the dogs welfare. The staff is friendly, you get a true sense that they love animals. I know it seems crazy, but there are people that run business that do not like animals. But Waggin’ Tails treated my dogs with the same level of kindness and love that we do.
We boarded 2 dogs for 2 or 3 nights, on their pickup day the both got groomed (who wants stinky dogs after a weekend away?). Their prices are very fair, their policies are solid without being unnecessarily restrictive and the dogs got the attention we hoped they would.
Icing on the cake? They helped load up the pooches and the «luggage» (bed/​pillow, food, leashes) into the car. And a week or so later we received a very nice card with photos from their weekend stay. The card was very nice quality (I’m into stuff like that). Oh, and upon picking up the dogs I got a report card! What fun you can have with dog stuff.

This is the ONLY place in Houston I trust to leave my baby at, well besides with my friends! She always comes back exhausted from all the fun. Everyone who works there genuinely cares about each animal that comes to visit. It is a bit of drive out west, but TOTALLY worth every penny! Not to mention, this last time I finally let them bathe her before coming home, and let me tell you, the most reasonable price for a bath ever. If you’re in doubt of where to board your furry baby, Waggin Tails is my only pick!
