    Stay away. I would give it zero stars if I could. They injured our dog and then tried to blame the victim. We were excited to bring our 5-month-old puppy to their facility. We dropped him off for an "evaluation." He came home after 2 hours with a broken leg and over $7,000 in vet bills. His "evaluation" consisted of throwing him in an indoor/outdoor play yard with 28 other daycare dogs all sizes and ages with little or no supervision and only one worker. Owners do not seem to care that he was injured at their facility and claimed that he had a pre-existing injury. He was completely healthy when we brought him into Tail Gate and had a broken leg when we picked him up. I would NOT recommend this place at all.

    Dililah is my 8 pound Rat Terrier and she has been having fun at TailGate since October 2019. Samson is my big 85 pound Bulldog/Coonhound mix and he has been coming here since Feb 2021. My dogs go in at least once a week for a good full day of play, they are exhausted for the next 24 to 48 hours after I pick them up. This is a no brainer. They seperate the dogs in groups so they get maximum play with dogs at the same level. The staff has always been friendly and I have never seen anyone in a bad mood. I know for a fact they do training while they are there, even though you only pay for daycare the staff works hard at keeping your dog safe (which includes them training your dog good behavior and dog play etiquette). When I take my dogs to the dog park I can tell my big boy has skills and training that I definitely did not teach him. My dogs get super excited for the 630am car ride to daycare!! I love they open so early too. My pack are tailgaters for life. Side note! My dogs have never come home with any wounds or signs of neglect. I'm sure it does happen but you have to remember they are dogs they play hard and sometimes dogs have bad days just like us. Kids go to daycare and come home with scratches, bumps and scrapes from time to time. It is no different when dogs play. I am satisfied knowing Tailgate employees will do everything possible to keep your dog safe and from harms way.

    My dogs Sasha and Bruce had the best weekend stay at Wag Hotels! We received photos of them…read morethroughout their stay which was so nice and put me and my husband at ease. We checked on our fur babies throughout their stay using their app and it was so nice to see a live video of them. Thank you to the staff for taking such good care of my dogs!

    We have boarded our old dog and current dog at this hotel since they opened as Paradise 4 Paws. We…read morehad no issues at all when it was Paradise 4 Paws, but since it was bought out by Wag Hotels, everything went downhill quickly. My current dog (large german shepherd mix - around 100lbs) came back smelling like urine after a 5 day stay - we had him groomed before his stay so there is no reason why he should have smelled this way after being boarded for 5 days. (side note - before it was bought by Wag Hotels, this place offered all day play for dogs and we were told we would be grandfathered into that on our account but after one stay, that option disappeared - it was just 2 one-hour play sessions and anything beyond that would be an additional charge). What's worse than the dog coming home smelling like urine is that the last two stays (one was for a week and the other was for 5 days), I got a call from the hotel while on vacation telling me that my dog was being aggressive toward other dogs. While my dog is big and a loud barker, he is not aggressive - he is playful but not aggressive at all. This second time, Wag decided to take him out of play group and do "special care play" (not sure of the official name of this option) which is one on one "play" with a human - based on the handful of photos we received, not sure there was any play involved, and this is an additional $55 daily charge on top of the already pricey overnight boarding charge that is $70 on weekdays and even more on weekends and holidays. It's funny and so coincidental that our dog never had any behavior issues at this hotel prior to it being bought out by Wag Hotels and all the additional fees they have invented. And now suddenly our dog needs special care to the tune of an additional $55 per day? Needless to say, we will not be returning and will not recommend this facility for daycare or boarding for any pet.
