Tail Gate For Dogs - Elmhurst, Illinois

We LOVE Tail Gate and so does our dog, Mallow!! We cannot thank them, especially the manager Mary, enough for helping us make sure our dog was with us for our wedding day as our flower girl. We planned on boarding Mallow with them, and knew we wanted to have her at our wedding, but weren’t sure how we’d be able to get her there if she was boarded. We asked if they would be willing to transport her to our venue for the ceremony and hang around until it was over so we could get a few pictures, and then transport her back. Mary stepped up to the plate and made it happen! She was communicative leading up to the day and even made sure Mallow had a bath prior so she was looking her best. This wouldn’t have been possible without her and we are SO forever grateful for her willingness to do this for us. We have always had a great experience with everyone there, and Mallow gets so excited when we pull up and bring her in. Tail gate will always be our go-to for daycare and boarding because we know that our pup is well taken care of. 🤍😊

We love Tail Gate! Our 4-year-old sheepadoodle, Archie, has gone to Tail Gate since he was a puppy - for day play, boarding and grooming. Their groomer, Daniel, is amazing!

Their employees all go the extra mile to take care of the dogs and are so kind to interact with. We Really appreciates their manager, Mary. She takes care of Archie like her own:)

Archie always come home very happy, well exercised & loved. Thank you!

My dog loves Tailgate! It's such a good feeling being able to leave "my baby" somewhere that he is so well cared for.
We bring him for half days occasionally on days that he would otherwise be left at home alone, and we leave him there for boarding when we go on trips that he wouldn't enjoy.

There are packages available to buy, and everything there is super easy.

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.

I recommend this place 100%. Tail Gate is Simba's favorite place to go! He is a 90+ lb. puppy and every time we pick him up he is completely exhausted. I looked around and tried many different places in area, but this was our top choice since we know he will be completely "cage free." He has boarded on many occasions for weeks straight and attends day care regularly. The staff is amazing. They tend to your needs and most importantly the needs of your dog. They socialize the dogs and place them according to their energy level and size. All are welcome no matter the breed, medication or in my case special diet. The grooming department is also top notch. It's a win win; you drop off your dog for day care and pick him up after work squeaky clean! This is him after a half day of day care.

Love this place, more importantly so does my sweet dog! If she ever is going to pull on her leash to get in somewhere besides home it is Tailgate. I can always leave her there knowing she is in great hands and well taken care of. Staff is extremely friendly and the owner goes above and beyond. I would not trust any other place with my sweet golden retriever. I board my dog often due to travel and I have also used them for daycare and both get an A+!!

The Tail Gate team is fantastic. They truly appreciate and love the animals they take care of. When we moved and we're in temporary housing, they worked through some issues our dog was experiencing. They are a great staff and now that we have settled in a different state we miss them even more!!!! Thanks Tail Gate! @soupsammie and @beachpig

Our dogs home away from home. We’ve been bringing our dogs here for years and will continue to do so. The staff is so friendly and caring. Our dogs love it here!
