Grand Reopening of Tails on Friday

By |

Tails will be celebrating its grand reopening on Friday after combining its pet retail operations with its pet daycare facility, which were previously in different locations across the street from each other. The husband and wife ownership team of Yessy Feliz and Alex Santiago and their staff are professionally trained in recognizing animal behavior, CPR and first aid for pets, as well as animal nutrition, animal body language and fight prevention. Tails offers pet supplies, pet day boarding, care and more. They also can help you with your animal if it has behavioral problems, and provide pointers on how dogs can best interact with children. The celebration begins at 6 pm at 385 Centre St., and there will be a raffle to win a bag of your feline’s or canine’s preferred food. Tails opened in Hyde Square in 2012.

"I feel a lot more comfortable being a business owner in Jamaica Plain because of what you do," said entrepreneur Yessy Feliz of Tails. The dog grooming, doggie daycare and pet supply store has grown recently, occupying storefronts across from one another in the heart of Hyde Square.
