AWARD-WINNING
dog daycare
in Dallas, Texas
We have over 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor Dog Daycare play space at Under Dog Kennels. Outside, you’ll find multiple Dog Daycare yards with artificial play turf, shaded structures to protect against the Texas summer sun, and wading pools on warm days (over 80 degrees). As a result, these features come together to create a Splash Park for water-loving breeds!
Inside, our play area is fully climate-controlled, so dogs always have a safe space when it’s too hot, too cold, or rainy outside. However, whenever the weather allows, we head outdoors to enjoy the fresh air. In addition, adventurous pups can explore our jungle gym–style play equipment, which encourages climbing, exploring, and plenty of fun.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our Approach
We offer Dog Daycare 2.0 in Dallas, TX, a program built on the latest dog behavioral research. In fact, studies show that dogs are much like toddlers, and when left in open play groups all day, they can become overstimulated. As a result, this overstimulation often leads to aggression and exhaustion. To address this, our program follows a structured schedule. Each play group enjoys an active session in the morning and another in the afternoon. Meanwhile, dogs rest in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms. This way, the routine supports their natural circadian rhythms, as dogs are meant to take multiple restful naps throughout the day.
Ultimately, our goal is not to exhaust your dog but to send them home calm, content, and relaxed so you can still enjoy their company after a busy workday.
Before anything else, every guest completes a temperament test to confirm they are “DOG FRIENDLY.” Afterward, we divide them into four different groups based on size, age, play style, and temperament. In this manner, each pup is placed where they can have fun and, more importantly, stay safe.
At the same time, Underdog Kennels always has multiple Dog Daycare attendants supervising every group at ALL TIMES. The health and safety of our guests remain our top priority.
However, if we determine your dog is not “dog-friendly” or not a good fit for open playgroups, they join our VIP Group instead. Here, they enjoy walks with our staff along with extra ear scratches, cuddles, and tummy rubs. Please note that this special handling has an additional charge of $3 per day.
In addition, we also offer Private Playtime, giving your pup one-on-one attention. Activities can include fetch, tug, a relaxing massage, tummy rubs, or even story time. Sessions are available in 15-minute increments.
Vaccination & Health Requirements
All guests must be at least 4 MONTHS OLD and FULLY VACCINATED.
In addition, dogs over 6 months of age must be spayed or neutered to participate in Doggy Daycare. This policy not only helps prevent pregnancy but also reduces hormone-driven aggression.
Furthermore, for the health and safety of every guest, we require proof of the following current vaccinations: Rabies, Bordetella (every six months), Distemper/Parvo, and Canine Influenza H3N8/H3N2. Please email or fax proof of vaccinations at least 12 hours before check-in.
Finally, we cannot accept unaltered male dogs over 2 years (24 months) of age.
All guests must be at least 4 MONTHS OLD and FULLY VACCINATED.
Cancellation Policy
We are a hotel (a dog hotel), and just like a people hotel, we have a cancellation policy. Therefore, we require notification of an overnight dog boarding reservation cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, an amount equal to one night’s stay will be charged if notification is not received within this time frame.
Holiday Cancellation Policy
For all National Holidays and Spring Breaks, an amount equal to two nights’ stay will be charged if notification is not received at least 72 hours prior to the start of your reservation. In addition, we require a credit card on file at the time the reservation is made, so that this policy can be upheld. As a result, your card will be charged automatically when applicable.
