Our Story
The Howliday Tail Wagon began as a simple idea to share the joy of homemade dog treats with local pups. It all started when the owner began making treats for the dogs at Howliday Inn Pet Resort. Seeing the dogs enjoy their goodies was a rewarding experience, but there was something missing—their owners weren't there to witness the fun! Inspired by this, the Tail Wagon was born, with the mission to bring joy to both pets and their owners by serving delicious dog treats on the go.
Launched in September 2024, the Tail Wagon quickly became a hit, offering a unique, mobile treat experience that’s like an ice cream truck—but for dogs! Whether at community events like Fall festivals, 5k runs, adoption drives, or grand openings, the Tail Wagon has been a fun and exciting way for pet owners to spoil their pups. It has also partnered with doggy daycares, allowing clients to treat their pets, which has been especially popular. Additionally, the Tail Wagon gives back by donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofits that support animals in need.
Since its debut, the Howliday Tail Wagon has been expanding its presence, and the menu is evolving to offer even more tasty treats for dogs. It’s a fresh concept that continues to bring smiles to pups and their people, and the journey is just beginning.
Our TEAM
Miranda is the heart and soul of the Tail Wagon team—though she doesn’t see it as “work” because she’s having way too much fun! Always up for any challenge, Miranda turns every task into a good time and keeps the energy high. If you’ve ever seen the Tail Wagon on the move, you’ve likely spotted her behind the wheel as our designated driver. Her skills navigating us in and out of tight spots never fail to impress! But what she loves most is chatting with you about the most important topic—your dog! Spoiling pups is her passion, and she’s made it her mission to treat every furry friend like royalty. Miranda’s loyalty is unmatched, and she’s the best friend anyone could ask for. Speaking of friends, she’s also a proud fur mama to a sassy pit bull and a lively chocolate lab. On top of that, she’s raising a human child who’s just as spoiled as her pups! We’re so lucky to have Miranda on the team, and we know you’ll love her as much as we do!
Natalie may be the “puppy” of the pack, but don’t let her youth fool you—she’s wise beyond her years and has a work ethic that’s simply unmatched. As a dedicated member of Team Tail Wagon since day one, Natalie is laser-focused on helping this venture reach its full potential. She’s a goal-setter and a goal-crusher, always striving to take things to the next level. We’re pretty sure she could whip up our famous treats with her eyes closed! At home, Natalie’s heart (and bed!) is ruled by her two beloved pups: Daisy, her sweet and perfect pit bull, and Moose, her mischievous Aussiedoodle, affectionately known as the “leader of the bad dogs club.” (Just kidding—Moose is really a pro-level cuddler!) You might also recognize Natalie from the front desk at Howliday Inn Pet Resort, where her kind and quiet demeanor shines. While she’s the most soft-spoken member of our team, her sweetness and determination speak volumes. We’re so lucky to have Natalie on board—give her a big “heyyy” the next time you see her!
Many of you already know Summer as a well-loved figure in the doggy world. She’s the owner of Howliday Inn Pet Resort and helped start up and a part of K9s for Camo program for a while and recently stepped away. But did you know she’s also the mastermind and creative genius behind Tail Wagon? After over a decade of running Howliday Inn, Summer decided it was time to bring a fresh, exciting idea to life. Once she envisioned the Tail Wagon, she couldn’t rest until it became a reality. Summer throws out big, bold ideas while Natalie and Miranda jump in to bring them to life. Together, they make magic happen! Her passion isn’t just for dogs—it’s for people, too. Summer has a special knack for making every pup (and their owner!) feel loved and cared for. While she adores dogs of all sizes, she has a soft spot for the big ones. At home, she’s the proud fur mom of two English Mastiffs, Mama and Pops, and a Belgian Malinois named Demo. These three are more than just pets—they’re the official Tail Wagon treat taste testers, ensuring every snack meets their high standards! On top of being an incredible dog mom, Summer is also a supermom to four boys—and five, if you count her husband, Brandon! We’re so grateful for Summer’s vision and leadership. Next time you see her, give her a big thank-you for making the Tail Wagon such a special place for pups and people alike!
