Took our dog there once, he came home with an injury, bit by another dog. Worse thing was she didnt say anything about it until we noticed it ourselves and said something. Everyone seems nice and all but wont be using their services again. Go elsewhere...Muskoka pet lodge further down Brunel Rd is a much better choice. More

Please accept my apology but I don't remember you as a client or this situation you wrote about. Of course dogs in play can get accidently snagged while running or playing by a branch or tooth. Its a fact of life, just like children get skinned knees and scrapes, small accidents can happen but play is still considered an important... More

I have used Happy Tails twice in the last 2 years while we go on our winter vacations. It works out great; we travel from the North Bay area, drop our dog off and pick him up on the way home 8 or 9 days later. We bought the 30 day package deal when it was on special last year,... More

Thank you for writing such a lovely recommendation. And, I must thank your friends for recommending us in the first place. Looking forward to having your boy come to play and stay at Happy Tails for many, many years of holidays to come. He is absolute delight. :) More

Returning from yet another Happy Tails vacation, our Wheaton Terrier is invigorated and happy. Tired and trim, she slept all the way home and for the next 2 days following our return. She had a great time with Lisa and her staff, especially when the snow finally came! We requested a bath/massage for the pick up and it was a... More

Happy New Year to you too. : ) I am very grateful for your business and appreciation. Darcy is a fabulously happy, fun dog and her joy just abounds. Give her a hug and a pat from me. More

Expect your dog, especially a lab, to come home absolutely pooched. I think our black lab slept for a week because they can run and swim at will. More

Thank you for your review. It made me chuckle. Labs certainly do enjoy their holidays here, particularly the swimming. Your dog must have thoroughly enjoyed himself. Come evening here; after their full day of fresh air; chasing chippies, hunting frogs and swimming with other dogs, the only noise we hear are singing frogs and snoring dogs. : ) More

I like to think or my 2 dogs as 'real dogs'. They like people but really, they want to run wild and chase things. For them, Happy Tails couldn't be better. Loads of space for them to go nuts all day and crash at night in a warm room, comfy bed and a fire. All the staff are great but... More

I love your Siberian Husky. Hope to see lots more of him over the years ahead. He is a gem. Being a city boy used to living in a high rise and talking his walks in noisy city streets and dog parks, he was "so on vacation", and made it his mission to explore every square inch of our huge... More

Our jack boarded at Happy Tails for 10 days this past Oct. He is a high energy guy and had a blast. The set up at Happy Tails is perfect to allow dogs to play, roam or hang out alone, whatever they prefer. I never had to worry about him, and Lisa kept me updated. Our wolfhound also spent a... More

Our dog Sandy has been boarding at Happy Tails off and on for the past eight years while we travel.  She is always happy to go, loves Lisa and the staff and is well cared for. We can relax knowing that this important family member is at her "home away from home"! More

Our rascally and high energy Jack Russell Pug mix, Ronnie, stayed at Happy Tails as a long term camper from December 2010 to June 2011. During that time Lisa helped with the complicated arrangements we had to make to bring Ronnie out of the country, and kept us regularly updated with photos and stories of Ronnie’s mischievous adventures. We felt... More

We've used Happy Tails several times in the past (the last time in December 2010) but have stopped using them due to the many things which we were disappointed with. The owner seems to love dogs and we have no doubt about that. But we feel that she operates it as a hobby rather than a business. We had purchased... More
