My dog loves it there. I have boarded her and my cat there a few times and they have a great time. I have also taken my dog to their doggy daycamp, where they will text you pictures, and she had an absolute blast every time. The staff is amazing, the facility is nice and clean and you can tell they love what they do. Definitely worth every penny!

Chloe did an incredible job with my bernedoodle's first grooming. Highly recommend!

My 9-month old Golden-doodle, Hudson, was groomed here today. Only his second time being groomed. He's a bit timid and feisty. I brought him here because of a recommendation from a trustworthy friend. His last grooming session was awful and he was timid for days following. His last grooming session was not at All Tails R Waggin, which is why I was looking for a new groomer.

I was very impressed with his second grooming here! The groomer was very professional and the All Tails staff were very helpful. Had to drop Hudson off early due to work and they were very accommodating. The groomer recommended a 3-month grooming regiment due to his matted hair (as is typical with golden doodles). I appreciated her recommendation and will follow it! Hudson had a shaved summer cut, which I requested.

A little pricey, but they took care of him. The groomer definitely cared for him and suggested she be his normal groomer, not for the business, but to ensure he grew comfortable over time. I was impressed with her and grateful for her detailed overview of Hudson's stay. Before I left, I scheduled his next grooming. Thanks for your professionalism and kindness in helping with Hudson's anxiety.

After writing my last review we picked up our pups after a 12 day stay. Our older dog Buddy was covered in old urine and was looked over for his bath & brush. My husband picked them up and 2 of the three looked great. But he noticed that Buddy was wet and assumed it was due to his bath. But quickly discovered it was not. He tried to bathe Buddy but could not get him clean.

He called All Tails and let them know. He was very upset, they offered to bathe Buddy so he took him back. They had no answers as to how Buddy came to be in this condition or was overlooked for his grooming appointment. The staff was upset but literally had no answers. I am honestly surprised that no one has reached out to us regarding the situation and we will never take our pups back there.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to All Tails for the incredible first experience for our fur babies! And a extra special shout out to Lilly for the constant updates, photos, videos and reassurance. They had so much fun while we went on vacation and it really put our minds at ease knowing they were loved and well taken care of!

I absolutely love this place! My dog is pretty nervous, and they are very good with him! This is the only place I've taken him where he does not fight us to go in, and the groomers always do a great job!

Dropped my puppy off at 8 am for grooming. I was told that he would be ready between 1 and 2. by 2:15 I had not received a call and tried to call but no one answered. I called two more times before driving over at 4 pm. I walked in and I couldn't get someone to help me for about 5-10 minutes. When I explained what was going on they said that someone had come up and was upset with their dogs grooming and wouldn't leave for an hour.

Although I understand this I should have been notified what was going on and someone should have called me back. They had to go find my dog and I was never told how it went or anything or even spoke to the groomer. I just took my dog to a new groomer and they notified me that his back paw had previously been cut. I would've appreciated the groomer coming out to speak to me and let me know that my dog's paw had been cut rather than having to find out months later. Horrible first grooming experience with my pup and I feel awful that I was unaware of what actually happened to him.

Boarded my dog here for 9 days. First time calling to get an update on my dog I was given the wrong information about a different dog. I brought 2 12 packs of canned dog food and when I came to pick her up she still had a full case of food left along with both of her medicine was halfway gone when I stated the medicine was as needed. Ever since she's been home she's been acting strange and seems to be sick.

Drove to my dog's grooming appointment to find out that the groomer was not in that day. They stated that they called me but I did not receive the phone call (they've called me many times before for pick up). I was rescheduled for 2 days later. Drove there again and the groomer was unavailable again! I really wish I was notified beforehand as it is 15 miles from my house. Been going there for 6 years and not sure why they don't have my number anymore. Usually a great place to take my dog.

Took a tour of the facility, it is a primarily indoor daycare and boarding. The place the dogs poop/pee is in a small fenced in gravel spot. (I can't imagine that being properly cleaned). The lack of fresh air makes me worried about illnesses such as kennel cough. There is a section with nice doors for the dogs and a section with wire crates.

There were many dogs in the wire crates, which also makes me worried about the cleanliness where those dogs are staying. The people were very kind, but their standards are lower than some other doggy daycare and boarding facilities.

Awesome boarding! We boarded our pups over the Thanksgiving holiday and we were gone for a week. We opted to have them send us pictures and videos daily and they did not disappoint! Our pups had a great time!

I was a bit disappointed with our experience here. The price gouging for pet services needs to stop. I kept my 2 pets here over Thanksgiving. I knew we wouldn't be home early enough to get them Sunday night so opted to have them groomed first thing Monday and would pick them up. I was told 1:00 PM earliest. So I picked them up and not only paid $100 per dog for grooming but also had to pay a day of boarding at approximately $70.

How is this justifiable? If you want to charge for a dog just hanging out in a kennel for half the day then fine. But to profit off having them in the grooming area in addition to the grooming is just ridiculous. Also sadly it is listed on the website you can bring X amount of items per pet. They have to log all items in and this is time consuming.

I had bought each dog a new toy to occupy them while they were stuck in a small room all day. One was very excited about this because a new toy doesn't come in the house without her noticing. Unfortunately when they gave me our bag back with our personal items, both balls were still in the bag with tags on them. What a shame.

My pup got and fantastic summer do. The staff was great and I love that you can drop off your dog before work for his groom. Make sure to ask a lot half day puppy daycare. Your dog can play in the morning before their grooming. Great place, happy dogs!

I took my dog to get a face trim and nail trim and I was told to come in. I asked for a full face and a trim for his ears. My dog came back with his face ENTIRELY shaved off and his ears unevenly cut and too short. I told them that I asked for a full face and the girl said, " we don't have a groomer today so the lady at the front desk cut it, but don't worry she has training." I'm sorry the front desk cut his hair?!

You have to be kidding me! I told the girl that I wish they could have told me that they didn't have a groomer today because I would have waited to take my dog in. I'm so mad and disappointed that a place like this wouldn't be upfront with their customers about having the appropriate groomers available. I will never come here again.

Great for a quick nail trim, even better for boarding. I took my pup there for a weekend and got daily text updates, INCLUDING PHOTOS! If your dog is anxious and a picky eater, they will supplement dry food with wet food to make sure they eat while being boarded. Update: My boy's getting a little long in the tooth these days, but he still loves it here.

I got a phone call within a few days of posting my original review. Basically I told them the same exact thing I wrote because it was true :) the manger said she'd send a gift certificate to which I told her I probably wouldn't use it but I appreciated the kind gesture. I guess I'm irritated now because why would you even bother a person for a review that wasn't that bad then just flat out never send the gift certificate?!?!

I just don't get it. What a complete waste of my time with them on the phone and theirs! Anyway, I've since been grooming my boy at home (he was shook up after that day) and am still fixing the uneven areas but it is looking better

I was so nervous about boarding my dog for the first time and was recommended by my vet office to check out All Tails R Waggin'. I'm so glad I did! They have spacious areas for big dogs, affordable prices and the most friendly staff. I will be bringing my dog back for boarding and daycare soon. I highly recommend anyone who is new to or nervous about boarding/ doggy daycare to check out their facility.

Having the owner onsite is a big plus particularly when leaving my dog there for extended periods. The staff is very friendly, always excited to see us (or at least him!) when I drop him off. Usually get pictures sent daily to show how happy he is while there.

A fantastic place too board your pets. We left for a two week long vacation and left our senior dog and cat in a deluxe suite. I received constant pictures and updates via text message. I am so appreciative of everything they did for our babies! Would definitely recommend.

I will never bring my dogs back here. We brought them in at the scheduled time after booking weeks ahead of time to be done last. They were dropped off at 9:30 and not ready till 6:30. I could tell that they did not have much water as they immediately went for the bowl. The past 2 times we've picked them up we've waited at least 5 minutes for someone to help us.

The 1st time I had to go get someone from the boarding side. It seems like the customer service has gone way downhill and the prices keep going up. I would not recommend them. The owner did call and apologize about our experience. She said she'd send 2 grooms on them for next time. Did I ever receive them? No.

I ALWAYS take my hound here when going out of town. I now live in Blacklick so it's closer, but for almost 10 years, I'd drive here from Clintonville to make sure my dog had the best care. She's always happy and healthy when I return. They have a wonderful operation out there. I trust no one else with my dog. Once I adopt a Doodle in the next year, she'll be going here, too.

I posted a review over a year ago. I stand by that review. The owner, just today, commented after over a year on my review. I would like to also add that after our sweet Gretchen came home with diarrhea, that we were not informed of until picking her up, she passed away on Saturday. Just a few days after coming home from her stay at All Tails Are Wagging.

This sweet gorgeous dog died and we were and still are heart broken. She didn't even make to her scheduled vet appointment! I would give them no stars if it were possible!

Three nights with daycare was $184. Rip off. I toured the facility before and they told me about the nightly pricing for each room. I kept asking why there were so many dogs in cages weren't playing with the others in the Big room and they said multiple reasons like they didn't play well with others or just got a bath. Turns out they charge extra to let them play ($10 a day).

Also They charge you the night for the day you pick up the dog - so I left my dog Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night and pick up Sunday. I picked up on Sunday at 3:30 but they charged for Sunday night ($36) and ($10) day care that day but don't tell till you question them at pay time they said it was because I came after 1pm. They also couldn't explain an extra 10$ charge- they did refund this extra charge.

They are not transparent with pricing when I reserved, toured or called the facility. I was just told drop off and pick up was anytime after 7am and before 7pm and confirmed they had me down for three nights. But they told me when I made them break down why it was $184 for three nights at pay time. What a dirty way to do business. I also think it's weird my dog doesn't come home tired and he's nine.

He also comes home very thirsty like two bowls of water Thirsty- I don't think they give them water. You also have to give your dog flu shots to go there (it's a two series of shots). So this three nights cost me an actual 264 if you include the shots.

My dog loves boarding here. She walks in with her tail held high, head up, sniffing around and excited. I had to basically drag her into the previous boarding facility, with her tail between her legs and her head held down. All Tails are wonderful people, the patio suite is amazing and I love getting pictures of her having a blast in doggie daycare.

Just wanted to add that we've used this kennel a few times now, and we are not disappointed. Consistent customer service, they adore our dogs, and we have picked a new service each time. It's so convenient to have your dogs come home with trimmed nails!

What a great place to bring your dog for a day of play! They provide a safe place for pets to be social and get some of their energy so they can relax when your home in the evening. I love how and great the staff is with the animals, and they offer so many services at this one location! All Tails R Waggin!

My Irish Wolfhound, Mischief, just loves boarding at All Tails. He loves his playmates and the clean bedding he has. He especially loves when Renee, the owner, gives him kisses. She is such a pet person. It would be hard to picture her in any other line of business. The grooming is superb. I know when I'm away on business my precious Mischief is safe and sound at All Tails. We Love You.

We take our baby here to get groomed, and they take such good care of him! Everyone there is kind and you can tell they're animal lovers. My favorite thing is the ease of making appointments! We usually call and schedule for the same week (we are procrastinators). Our baby leaves smelling like coconut too, which is lovely

My parents recently fell in love with and applied for a kitten at this shelter. They are experienced cat owners and were over-qualified to adopt the kitten. However, 5 days after they applied they were told the kitten was adopted out to someone else simply because the second applicant wanted to buy this kitten as well as another kitten. All my parents were told is that they could make the hour-long drive back out to Pataskala to pick out another kitten.

These people treat animals like they are commodities, but my parents had found a new family member. I also suspect their application was never processed, as I was listed as a reference and never contacted. It is not worth it to go here, I just hope these reviews save other people from going through this.

I recently boarded my dog at All Tails and i am hooked! I will never board her elsewhere. The facility was very clean and well maintained. The dog runs are much larger and have a lower daily rate then other local kennels I have scoped out. The staff was all very friendly and very passionate about the animals. I was able to call and check up on her and was always greeted with a friendly voice and a very detailed update.

She left a very happy dog, and I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who worries about leaving their pets. You can rest assured that they will be very well cared for and spoiled. My dog was on vacation while I was on vacation! and their prices are unbeatable!!!

This is a great place! Our dog, Duke, a large friendly chocolate lab, stayed there for ten days while we were away. I somewhat reluctantly agreed to have him participate in daycare, opting to have him in there only 3'days. The evening of the first day we received several pictures and a video of Duke in daycare. Unmistakably, he was having a ball!

He was playing tug a war with another dog and just running around in the large, spacious daycare area. And the supervision was wonderful! What could have been pure chaos was a great time. After receiving pictures on the second day, we decided to have him in daycare every day. Wise decision. And since we were kenneling him there, it was only $8 per day.

The only downside.....when we came to pick him up, he seemed disappointed to be leaving! We have had our dogs in other kennels - and they were mostly acceptable. All tails r waggin was five star. Everyone working there seemed to enjoy their work and to genuinely love animals. The first thing they did when we stopped in to make the boarding arrangements was to give us a tour. Very pleased and have already referred several people.

We bring our dog Rocky here and use the self service wash. For $10 they provide the soap, towels, brushes, clippers and cologne for the dogs. All you do is focus on cleaning your pet. They even clean up after you. The staff is always cheerful, helpful and professional. The facility is always clean and cheerful. The dogs look happy and are always engaged when we look thru the windows. You can't ask for a better place to bring your dog. They offer so much.

Found this place after we were canceled on by another kennel. We were panicked to find a good kennel in a new city. Advertised as worth the drive, it definitely was! I'd contest the drive isn't bad, only about 15 minutes from Westerville. Definitely worth it to have a happy and safe place for your pet. The drop off process was simple, and the staff is very friendly.

We asked for a tour and they happily obliged. They allow you to bring your dogs toys, blanket, and food. We opted to just bring their food, as both of our dogs have sensitive stomachs. They also offer Doggy Daycare, which at first I was skeptical of, but our dogs loved it! It's cheap if you're already boarding, and our dogs came home happy and worn out. They even send you pictures of your dog daily in daycare! We loved this and we will be back!

We took our goldendoodle puppy here for puppy training after being a bit overwhelmed with training a puppy with two young kids in the house. We had a great experience and learned good training techniques to use with him. The head trainer Buddy still keeps in touch with us on how our puppy is doing. He has given us great support. We loved our experience so much that we now take our puppy to doggy daycare!

He loves it! I get daily pictures of him playing with his new friends! We also have used the boarding services and grooming services. The staff here is amazing! I'm so happy we found this place!
Ben Stayton
Our dog seems pretty happy when he comes back from an overnight here unlike other places we've taken him where he's always come back with kennel cough (and he doesn't smell like cleaner spray either). The staff seem genuinely interested in the animals and are very friendly. Highly recommend this place even though it's a little more than we paid for boarding privately, but worth it knowing he's well taken care of.
Jim Wright
I left my Rottie there last year for vacation. He was a happy camper and told me what fun he had. The place is clean and the staff are nice. I plan to take him again for this summer's vacation. I highly recommend this place.

I took my dog Lola here for 10 days while I was out of town on vacation. I was really nervous because it was her first time being boarded and I wasn't sure how she would do. The staff here made me feel comfortable and answered any questions I had. I took a tour prior to booking which was easy and very helpful in making my decision. The facility was clean and didn't smell like others that I had looked at.

I even had to drive 35 minutes to get here but I knew I couldn't take her anywhere else. I decided to go with them and I am so glad I did! I picked her up today and she came home smelling good after a bath and she is happy and healthy! I also added daycare every other day while she was there and she loved it. I got pictures of her almost everyday which confirmed what they were telling me, that she was happy and doing well.

When I called to check on her they were helpful, answered questions and actually put me on hold to go see her at that very moment. I couldn't be more pleased. They put my mind at ease while I was away and for that I am so thankful. I will definitely be going back for all my boarding, grooming, and puppy daycare needs from now on!! Thank you alltails!!!!!

THE best place for boarding and doggy daycare. Caring and kind staff. So attentive they noticed something that i did not. Turns out she had a bladder stone. They cared for her with love until i returned and i am going to take her back every so often to play in doggy daycare. She loved it!
Latina Schlafly
We have boarded our dogs here several times, they take great care of them. The staff sends photos periodically to show us how they're doing, we greatly appreciate that when we are so far away.
Ann Vance
Our experience here was very positive. We boarded 2 dogs for 14 days. The prices were competitive with other places we've boarded our dogs, with more space and more frequent opportunities to go out. They were understanding of my dog's joint pain and made accommodations to suit her. The play time with other dogs was a great add-on. We got pictures nearly every day, which was nice. I would use them again.
