The Wagtails team with dogs in Essex

Family-run since 2022

We enrich the lives of dogs in Essex.

Purpose-built dog parks, 5-star licensed daycare, and vetted dog training across Essex. Everything we do is built around what dogs need.

Our story

From our family to yours

At Wagtails, we're a family-run business built on trust, expertise, and a genuine love for dogs. Our passion drives everything we do, guided by three clear objectives:

1. Build a happy and fulfilled team.

Our commitment to the dogs starts with our team. We create a supportive environment where our staff can thrive and, in turn, provide exceptional care.

2. Nurture happy and healthy dogs.

We dedicate ourselves to improving the lives of the dogs we care for, focusing on their mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

3. Support a community of dog owners.

We see ourselves as your partners in the journey of dog ownership. We want to help dog owners give their dogs the best lives possible.
