 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s not a fulfilling trip home to CT for Ripp unless he gets to see his friends at Wagging Tails of Newington. 🐾 He came home completely exhausted, and the photos say it all. He had an amazing day! Between playtime inside and outside with his buddies, Woofle treats, and swimming, he really got to enjoy all his favorite things. The best part is having complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and loved while he’s there. ❤️ Thank you, Wagging Tails of Newington - ♥ Ripp & Family

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I have been amazed at the care and services provided for our dog, Everett. He’s been to daycare there many times and always comes home worn out and takes a good long nap. We just boarded him for a week for the first time ever and we really appreciated the daily report cards with photos. all of the staff there has been kind and professional. They frequently have said how sweet Everett is and how much they enjoy having him. I would highly recommend wagging tails!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Why Bessie Loves Wagging Tails” Wagging Tails loved Bessie way back when no one else did (except me!) As a young rescue with juvenile trauma in the dark depths of Covid, I couldn't take her anywhere for socialization until I found Wagging Tails. She experienced her first Halloween there - it was full of fun and also helped eliminate a concern from me - that she had soooooo much energy it was almost impossible to help her focus. Krista and the Wagologist team loved her from the start! It was so reassuring. I had never sent any of my dogs to "day care" before - I never trusted that anyone could care for them as I did - but! After this love-fest, I started taking Bessie - and six years later, it's still among the best things I ever did for my girl! Bessie loves Wagging Tails because it's so many things to her: a safe space to play with other dogs, a "home away from home" where people love and understand her, a place where she can swim (if she wants) - get a bath and pampering - have all kinds of attention from additional humans, tucker herself out and also rest as she needs to ... she adores the people, the activities, the special treats ... We love Wagging Tails fur-ever!
