We have discovered this new dog daycare in Madrid that we love, and we wanted to share it with all of you.
We all feel increasingly guilty about leaving our beloved ARISTODOG home alone because of our day-to-day responsibilities, and initiatives like this help us balance life with our furry friend and our working lives.
No pet should have to spend the day alone, and being at home with nothing to do often leads to numerous behavioral problems. But until recently, that was a concern with no solution.
But with WAG WAG, we have a great alternative so your pet can meet its needs for attention, activity, and exercise and all dogs can have a fantastic day while their ARISTOPARENT is away from home.
Rates are around €290/month, and they are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
You can also book half days, full days, or individual hours.
It also includes the option of having your ARISTODOG picked up from home for a very reasonable additional fee.

How did the idea come about?
Laura Ricobaldi and Paula López de María are veterinarians who graduated from the Complutense University of Madrid, with extensive experience in the field. During a trip to New York, they discovered this business model. New Yorkers are famous for being very busy every day, which is why numerous dog daycares can be found throughout the city. Laura and Paula thought that in our country, a large part of the population works many hours a day and that, unfortunately, they are forced to leave their furry friend home alone. This led to the idea of founding WagWag.
In Madrid, there is 1 dog for every 10 residents, and a large percentage of them spend the day alone. WagWag is the ideal solution: ARISTODOGS spend the whole day playing, socializing with other dogs, walking in the park, taking naps, and releasing all the energy they build up. It operates like any childcare center: the ARISTOPARENT drops their pet off at the center in the morning and picks them up in the afternoon, finding a relaxed and calm animal.
The facilities
The facility has two floors and includes a reception area, shop, playrooms, grooming salon, and behavioral consultation room. The playrooms are divided into one for large dogs and another for medium-sized and small dogs. They are very spacious and have large windows overlooking the street, allowing people to see the wonderful care the dogs receive.
It also has a grooming salon and a consultation room where canine behavior and training consultations are held.
Transportation
Another point that we also find very useful is transportation. WagWag has a van adapted for transporting dogs. It is safe and comfortable, with air conditioning and heating so your pet can travel peacefully and happily. If you cannot drop them off at the daycare, they will pick up your pet or drop them off at home in the afternoon.
At ARISTOPET, we applaud this initiative; we are always looking to discover new business models aimed at the well-being of all ARISTOPETS.
