Taurus Dog Daycare: Where Oliver Gets Pampered Like a Celebrity!" So, I took my dog Oliver to Taurus Dog Daycare, and let me just say--his groomer deserves a standing ovation. This isn't just a "brush-and-bathe" situation; this is a doggy spa experience that makes my dog look like he's ready for his own runway show. Seriously, he's strutting around now like he's got an endorsement deal with a fancy dog food brand. Oliver walked in looking like a scruffy little mop, and 2 hours later, he emerged looking like he'd been perso... read more

Business response:

Hi Lainie, Oliver Dales is always such an excited sweetheart. You can really see how much you two care for each other at pick up and drop off. He is always a great addition to any day and we love having him whenever your schedule allows. The kind words mean the world to us. I will make sure to pass along everything you said to the whole pack.

My little Winston is 3 years old & he has been going to Taurus since he was 3 months old. The staff there are all wonderful & caring. I know that when I'm at work he is always well taken care of. Joe & Rachelle are the managers and kudos to Shawn, Jody, Lisa & all of the other staff members for taking care of my little Winston. 

Business response:

Thank you for the kind words, Jen! We absolutely love Winnie and are so happy that we get to spend time with him 5 days a week! He is definitely a member of the family here. Wags, Rachel Nobles Resort Manager - Taurus Lamar

Casey at Taurus South Lamar might be the perfect dog trainer. My young, high-energy pup returned from a two-week board-and-train with new skills, more manageable energy, and easy-to-follow instructions so I could learn and work with him to keep it going. Casey's follow-up sessions made it clear she knows my dog and had really personalized his training. She was always patient and never seemed rushed, and she demonstrated the training work in a way that made me feel confident moving forward. (She also sent me updates and photo... read more

Everyone here really cares! We took our boxer dog to Taurus on Lamar when we needed to go out of town; unfortunately our dog was very anxious and got sick (he's a recent rescue) yet they were quick to call us and help us come up with a game plan. They took such kind care of him while we arranged with a neighbor to bring him back home -- and were very accommodating about cutting the boarding reservation short. They made a stressful situation so much better; we would not hesitate to come back in the future once our dog is feel... read more

A kind stranger on the greenbelt saw me struggling with my 2 yr old APA rescue black mouth cur mix, Joy, who lunges and barks when she is startled, which is frequently. (She really is very sweet even though she resembles Cujo in those moments.) Kind stranger recommended Taurus on Lamar and said her dog had been grumpy too, hard to believe because her dog was unbothered while walking unleashed. I called Taurus and got to talk to a trainer immediately. Casey asked me about Joy's behaviors and really listened. She recommended a... read more

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kara. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience. Casey is such an important asset to our pack and we are so happy to hear that you got to meet her and have such a positive experience. Hope to see you and your loved one soon! Taurus Academy

This is an absolutely wonderful place for dogs. Our dog has gone to Taurus Lamar for more than 5 years now. We have had an outstanding experience with Taurus Lamar. The staff is really great -- very intuitive with the dogs and very responsive to clients. We initially sent our dog to Taurus Lamar because he was a rescue dog and, when he came to us, he had issues with both strangers and other dogs. We thought he needed positive experiences with other people and other dogs, and we hoped that Taurus could provide that. And... read more

Thank you for your kind compliments, Nancy! We love visits from you and your family and appreciate you trusting us with your pet's care.

Taurus was like the rehab my dog needed to become the best version of himself. When I first took Kane my rescue pitbull/shar pei mix to Taurus they were so welcoming and excited. He had some trust issues towards men and hadn't played with a ton of dogs. I was a single mom to him working long shift work and didn't have time to socialize and exercise him the way he needed and deserved. But Taurus helped Kane with everything! They worked on having male workers be around him more and eventually become his trusted buddies, i... read more

Thank you for your kind words, Lea! Please give extra love to Kane from us.

Our 8 year old dog Leeloo loves Taurus. Everytime we ask her "Do you want to go to Taurus?" she runs to the car and can't wait until she's brought inside. She goes regularly for play days and is always boarded there when we're out of town. The staff send us pictures and videos of her when we're out of town. We trust them completely and wouldn't send our dog anywhere else! 

Business response:

Thank you for your generous feedback, Mia! Our team looks forward to seeing you and your pet again soon.
