Everything you need to know before your pet's first visit. Assessment process, requirements, and what to expect.
All new clients, and clients who haven't visited in over 6 months, must complete an assessment before daycare or boarding. Here's what to expect.
Create your Wags account online using the button at the bottom of this page, then call us at (218) 287-2000 to schedule. Assessments are Monday through Thursday, 10 AM – 2 PM. Cost is $20 per dog.
Drop off your dog with proof of current Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines and your completed registration paperwork. Your dog stays with us for a minimum of 4 hours. You don't need to stay.
Your dog acclimates to the environment, meets staff, and is gradually introduced to other dogs at their own pace.
We evaluate temperament, play style, and group fit. Some dogs need more time than others, that's completely normal.
Once your dog passes, they can come for daycare anytime and can schedule boarding with us.
