Our story

Started In A Horse Barn
Still Here For The Same Reason

DogTag began in 2007, founded by Donelle Slater, a professional animal trainer whose love for dogs outgrew the space she had. The home next door became the first facility — hand-built kennels, two acres, a standard of care that earned a devoted local community without any advertising.

"What he experienced wasn't a transaction. It was being looked after — his dog, his family, his peace of mind."

DogTag is now owned by Chris Nunes, a Superior resident who first came to us as a client. After the Marshall Fire, when life was at its most uncertain, he boarded his Rhodesian Ridgeback Oso with our team. That experience is why he bought the business.

Common questions

Everything You Want To Know
Before You Drop Off

And a few things you might not have thought to ask. We've been doing this since 2007 — there aren't many questions we haven't heard.

Where we are
01Local — Superior, CO

What Is The Best Boutique Dog Daycare And Boarding In Superior, Colorado?

DogTag has been Superior's boutique dog care option since 2007. We're at 7440 Marshall Road — a converted residential home on two acres, not a commercial facility. Four outdoor yards — Beach, City, Barnyard 1 and Barnyard 2 — hand-built wooden kennels, and a team that knows every dog by name. We evaluate every dog before accepting them, stay intentionally selective about who joins, and hand-pick every playgroup. If you're looking for genuinely personal, boutique dog care in Boulder County, this is it.

02Serving Broomfield, Louisville & Boulder

Is DogTag Close To Broomfield, Louisville, And Boulder? How Far Is The Drive?

We're in Superior at 7440 Marshall Road, just off US-36. Drive times: Broomfield 12–15 min west via US-36; Louisville 5–8 min; Lafayette 10–12 min; Westminster 15–18 min; Boulder 15–20 min. Many regulars pass us on their daily commute. Parking on site, and drop-off from 7:30am fits into a morning routine without a detour.

03Grooming

Do You Offer Dog Grooming Near Superior And Louisville, Colorado?

We offer exit baths at pickup from $30, sized to your dog. Add at booking or drop-off. After a full day of Colorado outdoor time, it's one of our most popular add-ons. Our 3X-per-week membership tiers include a monthly nail trim. For full grooming services near Louisville or Superior, ask the team — we'll point you in the right direction.

04What to look for

How Do I Know If A Dog Boarding Or Daycare Facility Is Safe? What Should I Look For?

The things that matter: staffing (small groups with a handler in every yard), group selection (compatibility, not whoever turned up), evaluation process (do they assess your dog first), and intake limits (a facility that deliberately caps how many dogs join can give each more attention). Ask to see the facility before you commit. Any reputable operation welcomes that without hesitation.

05Our evaluation

How Does DogTag Evaluate Dogs Before Accepting Them For Daycare Or Boarding?

Every dog comes in for a full evaluation day, arranged by appointment. We tour the facility, spend the day introducing your dog across different group settings, and watch their social skills and body language. At pickup you get a written report card. We'll offer booking dates or honest guidance on what we'd like to see first. Cost: $20 includes a free 1/2 day of daycare. It's actual day of care — not a waiting room.

06Membership value

Is A Dog Daycare Membership Worth It? What Does DogTag's Membership Include?

If your dog comes more than once or twice a week, a membership nearly always makes financial sense. Plans start from $155/month, with boarding discounts, member-rate extra visits, nail trims on higher tiers, and a quarterly bring-a-friend perk. Three-month commitment, then month-to-month. Current pricing is on the booking page. See all plans.

Requirements & practical information
What Vaccinations Does My Dog Need?
Current records required for Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Canine Influenza. Bring to evaluation or email frontdesk@dogtagco.com in advance.
Does My Dog Need To Be Spayed Or Neutered?
All dogs over 9 months must be spayed or neutered. Larger breeds in the growth phase (9–18 months) should wait. Puppies to 3-9 months may attend — we assess individually and require full vaccinations.
Can I Visit Before Booking?
Yes — drop in any time. Drop-off 7:30–10am, pick-up 4–6pm, Mon–Fri. Call (720) 317-8414 to arrange a tour outside those windows. Check the front desk — we sometimes have fresh eggs or produce from our two acres.
Is Early Drop-Off Available?
Yes — from 7am.
