Mel's Waggin Tail Inn

My wife and I have been using Mel's Waggin Tail for the last year, hosting our 3 year old standard schnauzer, Lucy. The staff are always incredibly helpful, and it's evident how much care and attention goes into hosting their short term residents. They have hosted Lucy for both short and long term stays, spanning one evening stays, two evening stays, and as long as 10 evenings in one stay. Lucy is a wonderful dog, but she has been known to have a few trust issues and has sever separation anxiety. Throughout each stay, Mel's staff continued to provide support and guidance in how we could make her more comfortable, and continued to focus on making her stays as comfortable as possible. As each stay concluded, it was evident Lucy became more and more accustom to Mel's, and by the end of if she would lunge out of our car with excitement. We are sadly moving away from New Brunswick and I know that Lucy will miss all of the staff and her dog pals when we leave. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts to our good girl!!

Bogart's smile in this photo taken at Mel's during his last stay says it all. There online booking system couldn't be easier, their extreamly clean facilities are appreciated, and there responsive, friendly and caring staff are a joy to deal with every time. Bogart is always so excited when we turn the corner into Mel's parking lot and returns to us happy, healthy as well as nice and tired - a good state for an Airedale to be in.

I've been sending my 10 month old pointer puppy to Mel's regularly for the last five months. Charlie loves the care and attention she receives there, and I love the socialization and exercise she gets. The staff at Mel's are patient with Charlie, as she is a fence climber and jumper. They have the utmost concern for her health and safety and I am grateful they watch her closely and do their best to correct her behaviour when she gets overly excited. Mel's has a fantastic facility (with a catch fence for those doggos who like to escape) but best of all, a patient and knowledgeable staff who understand pointers. Without Mel's, I am not sure Charlie would be as calm and well adjusted as she is. So grateful!!

My boxer puppy was first introduced to Mel’s at 5 months old. He was welcomed with joy, tenderness and attentiveness. Very professional team who genuinely care for the dogs. My puppy is almost a year old and cannot wait to join his furry friends on his weekly visits. A big kudos to Mel and her fabulous team. Top notch service.

Mel's Waggin Tail is by far the favorite place for our little fur boy Bailey.

The first time we made a reservation, the amazing staff took the time to make us visit the entire place (it is always hard to bring your pup to a kennel not knowing how they are going to react on the first day of leaving them behind and for ourself to trust strangers to take care of our pup) it was very very clean and smell good. The little individual sleeping and napping place are big and look like little dog house and look cozy.

We also had Bailey (the staff not our Bailey) to groom our little sheltie and he was sooo fluffy and cute when he got back home, so much more convenient to book a spa day for our boy on the last day of his stay so we can bring back a tired (from playing like crazy all week) and beautiful, fluffy boy back home.

We also bring him just for doggy day care and overnight. He doesn't even look back to us when we leave him now, he run right to the back with the staff that he loves so much and can not wait to go play with his friends. The reports cards we get after his stays are so well done and a good idea.

Mel's Waggin Tail team is beyond kind and affectionate, the second home to our little Bailey.
