A little bit about us...
Tanner's Canine Resort in Waldwick, NJ opened in June 2020 & was designed exclusively with your dog's safety & care in mind. The owners, Suzanne & Tracey, set out to create a facility with more outdoor space than indoor space for dogs to run & play. The entire property is ideally suited for the comfort, safety and enjoyment of your four-legged family members. Here's what makes us unique:
- Not a Franchise! And nothing associated with franchises! Just individual custom care.
- 8000+ sq ft yard covered in K9 grass astroturf for dogs to run, play, fetch & exercise.
- K9 grass means no ticks, fleas, digging, mud or puddles when it rains.
- Lots of shade & fresh water in our yard.
- Staff on property 24/7 -- yes we are here overnight!
- Vet Center located immediately next door
- Powerful air filtration, circulation and ventilation system in kennel; less germs for your pup
- State of the art wet/dry central vac system for the cleanest, germ- & odor-free kennels.
- Kuranda beds & Cuddle Mats for all boarding dogs.
- Kohler Back-Up Generator in case of power outages
- Smoke/Fire alarms in all spaces
- Nighttime healthy dog treats (always included)
- FREE exit baths for all boarding dogs staying 3 or more nights.
- One price includes everything you could want for your dog.
- Lots of free hugs, cuddles, belly rubs, and of course, love.
Keep in mind.....
- All dogs at Tanners must be able to play well with other dogs, either in the kennel or in the yard, within appropriate sized playgroups. We do not take dogs that cannot socialize with other dogs.
- If you have a senior dog (12+ years old), please call and speak to an owner about whether or not Tanners is the right place for your dog.
- In order to come to Tanners, all dogs must be a minimum of 10 pounds. Puppies under 10 pounds that will grow past 10 pounds are welcome to come for the Meet & Greet, but cannot come for their first trial until they reach our minimum weight.

Yes, there is a Tanner!
Meet Tanner! Tanner was a beautiful Golden Retriever owned by Tracey Manne, who sadly passed away in 2012 from lymphoma. At that point, Tracey decided to walk away from corporate life & dedicate her career to the loving care and safety of dogs. It's only appropriate that our first facility is named for this beautiful inspirational creature. God bless you Tanner! Gone but never forgotten!
