| - We have boarded our dog here a few times for 2-3 day periods when we were out of town. Once you have completed the intake paperwork and the temperament test, reserving boarding space there appears to be fairly easy. Their facility (what I have seen of it, not sure they give tours) appears nice, and our dog doesn't appear to have had any adverse experiences the times we have left him there. You don't get any sort of report card when you pick your pet up. But he always seems happy.
I will say that during one stay, we asked for him to be groomed, and when we picked him up, he didn't really smell or look any different than before. By contrast, we recently boarded him at a different facility in Scottsdale because we had to also board our cats and one of them needed to take medication that was being prescribed by the vet practice at the facility. Not only was the boarding cheaper, but the dog smelled yummy and looked fluffy when we picked everyone up.
Also, Tailwinds weekend pickup hours (by 4 pm) are inconvenient if you're flying back in from out of town, and most trips I have had to take time out from my work on Monday to go and pick the dog up. Of course, we then incur a charge for an extra night of boarding, and my son doesn't get to see his dog until the next day after school :-(
So overall, for boarding they are fine, no glaring deficiencies, but I think other boarding facilities offer better value and service.
