In my next life, I’ve decided that I want to run a doggie day care franchise.

And since I imagine that my next life won’t play out in Northern California, I figure I won’t have to compete with the end-all, be-all of pet day care/boarding facilities, Wag, which is where I leave Greta when we’re on the road without her. 

I’ve even done some research on the subject, and in addition to the many books out there on the subject, there are two places I’ve found that pique my interest.

Both Camp Bow Wow and Central Bark Doggie Day Care offer franchising opportunities, and while neither has a site near where I live, I’m sure if they are anything like this place, they are doing just fine.

For now, I’ll have to settle for wrangling the two cats and one dog that currently live under my roof, and leave it at that.

I am lucky enough to live near a wonderful Wag Hotel, a pet hotel that I take Greta to when we’re headed out of town without her. We’ve left her there anywhere from a few hours to a few days, and we’ve always been more than pleased with how she’s treated.

Because the facility is entirely indoors, I don’t even have to worry about Greta getting too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer.

Inside Wag
Stepping in the doors of Wag Hotel is like walking into the gift shop of a day spa. It’s bright, modern, clean, and full of all kinds of goodies for furry friends.

I have always made an appointment (highly recommended, as both Wag’s day care and overnight slots can book up, particularly during the holidays).

And ever since the first time I dropped Greta off at Wag, the receptionist(s) have been ready and waiting for her when we walk in. They even greet her by name, which she loves.

Accommodations
All the rooms have plush beds, and prices include room service meals, playgroups twice a day (!), any necessary medications, and classical music.

There are also mini and luxury suites, which are roomier and, in the case of the luxury, include plasma TVs and Wag cams.

We have always had Greta stay in a medium room, which runs $45 for overnight stays, and $30 for day stays (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Sometimes we also add a business walk ($15 or two for $25), or an evening stroll ($10), depending on when we drop her off.

Extras
There are all sorts of other add-ons, such as individual play time, swim time, massage, nail trims, etc., that can be purchased a la carte.

Best of all, when we pick up Greta, we get a “report card” that explains how she did while we were gone, detailing such things as her energy level, her appetite, whether or not she had medications, how her elimination was, whether or not she followed instructions well, and how she played with other (and the names of any friends she made, too!).  

Wag may not be the cheapest place around, but I think it’s the best, so in my book it’s worth the extra cost to know Greta’s well cared for and having a ball.
