If you love your dog do not consider using Tail Waggers of Litchfield. They take in way too many dogs and provide inadequate supervision. The staff range from snotty to surly. Many dogs became ill this Fall after an outbreak of kennel cough that management refused to acknowledge came from that facility. Other dogs have contracted mites. It is a terrible place!!

This local boarding kennel just opened up this past year and we were thrilled since there were none in the area. The local radio station has been running ads for Tail Waggers for months and it sounded like a wonderful place to leave our dog while away.We picked up our dog just yesterday after her first stay at this kennel and we were instantly alarmed by her condition. She is twelve years old but in excellent health. She was delivered to us with filthy matted fur and bleeding toenails. The clerk told us that she had worn down her rear toenails on the concrete and that was why they were bleeding. She said they tried to stop the bleeding but she kept walking in her water and it would start again. She also seemed dazed and lethargic. Once we got her home I put her directly in the bathtub and was shocked to find sores on her elbows and even on the base of her tail. She also drank her water dish dry (it holds over a quart) and has drank over four bowlfuls (over a gallon) in the past day.
