Question 6

Do you require an activity package?

Yes. Activity and interaction is necessary for a happy and healthy stay and pets are not one-size-fits-all. Because of this, every pet parent gets to customize a discounted activity package for their pet. All of our packages provide varying levels of activity, interaction, engagement, and routine for your dog to look forward to while they’re here. We want your pet having the most fun while doing what they love!

M-F 7-6, Sat 10-4

Question 8

I’m nervous about boarding my pet.

Accepted Answer

We understand. At Wiggles Pet Resort, all members of our staff are specially trained to check on your furry family member throughout the day and love them just like they would be at home. We also have the most advanced software that tracks every task that makes up our exceptional care.

Question 9

Can I bring my pet’s own food?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We request you bring your dog’s usual food to keep them on their normal diet. Please ensure it’s bagged separately and labeled.

What is a special feeding charge and why do you have it?
Our standard overnight care includes up to three servings of each dog’s own dry food, bagged and labeled per serving. With the rise in individual-specific dietary needs of some of our furry guests, we’ve found extra time, training, and attention are required by our staff and managers. Rather than raising our standard overnight rate for all, we’ve begun charging a small fee for non-kibble foods that require extra handling.

A nominal special feeding charge may apply to each serving of:

Canned food
Refrigerated or frozen food
Food that needs to be microwaved
Use of special feeding equipment including slow feeders or raised feeders

Question 10

Can I bring my pet’s own bedding?

Accepted Answer

All of our suites are outfitted with raised beds and soft, clean bedding, so please leave your pet’s bedding at home.

Question 11

Can I bring my pet’s favorite toy?

Accepted Answer

Here at Wiggles, we have lots of fun, regularly cleaned toys for your pup to play with so there’s no need to bring any from home.

Question 12

I have multiple dogs. Can they stay together?

Accepted Answer

It would be our pleasure to host your fur family. We offer large suites for multi-pet families to stay together. Call us at 845-289-8408 to customize your reservation.

Question 13

Can you accommodate special needs pets?

Accepted Answer

Wiggles Pet Resort is equipped to accommodate many types of pets with special needs. Please call us to discuss your pet’s needs and we’ll consult with your veterinarian to help you decide if we’re the best place for your pup.

Question 14

My pet takes medications. Can you administer them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your pet has oral prescription medications, please bring them in their original containers with clear instructions.

Question 17

What’s the difference between Wiggles Pet Resort and Stone Meadow Kennels?

Accepted Answer

We’ve brought out our facility’s best potential with million-dollar upgrades including brand new all-suite accommodations, dog-specific play surfaces, top-of-the-line wellness systems and much more.

Question 18

Why should I choose Wiggles for dog daycare?

Accepted Answer

The new daycare program at Wiggles provides a fun, safe place for dogs to socialize, play and be enriched while their parents are away. Our daycare guests exercise their minds and bodies every day while under the care of our devoted staff. It’s not only a ton of fun, it’s a healthy and constructive alternative to staying home alone.

Question 19

Do you require a daycare evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Our dog daycare program is as safe and fun as possible. It’s essential each new guest joins the best daycare program for them. The first step is a “welcome day,” when they come play with us for free to see which play option they like most.

Question 20

What is the welcome day like?

Accepted Answer

Your dog will get a chance to meet our team and the other pups playing with us. We’ll observe their play habits and canine body language to determine the type of play environment they enjoy most. More socially inclined pups will gradually meet the “pack.” Dogs who prefer to play with a team member will have a blast with one-on-one play.

Question 21

What will my dog be doing at daycare?

Accepted Answer

We have multiple play options to meet the needs of most every pup personality! Our standard dog daycare is a group play program perfect for social dogs. We also have a personal play option for dogs who prefer human company. No matter which program they prefer, they’ll enjoy lots of exercise in our play yards, interaction with staff, and comfy rest times in a climate-controlled suite.

Question 22

Can I add more activities to my pet’s daycare plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are happy to put together a custom package to meet your pet’s needs and desires. Just give us a call and we’ll set up your pet’s perfect day.

Question 23

What should I expect on my dog’s first day?

Accepted Answer

Please bring your dog early in the morning for their introduction day, we recommend no later than 9am. This gives your dog plenty of time to explore their surroundings and get comfortable with us. We’ll slowly introduce them to their playmates to “meet and greet.” Then the playtime begins. Your dog has access to ample fresh water all day, but sometimes on the first day or two they’re too excited to drink enough. They may come home extra thirsty, which is totally normal. As your dog visits daycare more often, they’ll drink their usual amount.

Question 24

My dog doesn’t like to play with a lot of other dogs. Can they still join daycare?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We appreciate that each dog is unique, so we have multiple daycare programs to suit dogs of different social levels. Our personal play program features one-on-one playtime with a specially trained staff member to ensure your pet gets all the exercise, attention, and playtime they desire.

Question 25

Do you have daycare packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Dog Daycare packages offer maximum savings and our unlimited daycare allows your pet to have a standing reservation.

Question 26

Can my puppy join daycare?

Accepted Answer

Puppies are more than welcome to wiggle with the rest of us at daycare. Puppy groups focus on developing early social behaviors and good play manners.

Question 27

How many days should my dog attend daycare?

Accepted Answer

We suggest bringing your dog to play at least one day every week. Just like humans, dogs are more comfortable with new friends when they’ve had the chance to spend more time together! This way, your dog will get to form a relationship with the staff and other dogs who come on their day and have an even better time. We want our daycare guests to be as comfortable and excited to play as possible, so we encourage pet parents to make standing reservations for their preferred days of the week.

Question 28

How often should I bring my dog in for bathing?

Accepted Answer

Routine bathing is an important part of keeping your pup happy, healthy, and beautiful! How often your dog needs a bath depends on their breed and activity level. Some dogs are fine to visit us once a month, but others may need a freshening-up every other week. Talk to our knowledgeable staff about the best bathing schedule for your pet.

Question 29

How do you dry the dogs?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the dog’s coat and the treatment they received, we’ll either use a cool-air blow dryer or thoroughly towel them off and let them air dry.

Question 30

What kind of products do you use?

Accepted Answer

Our bathers only use pet-specific products made of natural ingredients. We also offer a line of specialty shampoos and conditioners designed for certain results, like coat whitening, flea and tick treatments, dry skin shampoos, glossy coat shampoos, de-shedding, and others.

Question 31

Do you offer any bathing packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most of our bathing clients visit us to get multiple services done at once, so we’ve bundled together the most important treatments in our bathing packages. A favorite is our Premium Bath Package, which includes a bath, brush out, and nail trim.

Question 32

How often should I get my dog’s nails trimmed?

Accepted Answer

Like human nails, dog nails grow constantly and need to be trimmed to prevent them from affecting your dog’s comfort and posture. Every 2-3 weeks is an effective schedule for most dogs, but they can be cut more or less often depending on your dog’s needs.
