My dog got abused at doggy daycare. Paid to play, but instead locked in a cage all day, and multiple shock collars put on his neck to try and get his barking to stop (not approved by me).
So not sure this really applies to wag vs not.. but double and triple check the references of your doggy daycare..
Jesus. I've always been a bit paranoid about this; at the moment I'm sticking to my vet's dogcare program, which seems more reliable.
This would be a nontrivial concern for me with Wag. Uber rides have plenty at risk also, but at least I'm present for those. (And in one case, I have in fact gotten out early for safety's sake.) Coordination services are that much less convincing when the buyer and seller aren't both present.
Ya exactly.. with Uber it's just yourself for risk.
Wag is one stop closer to "I trust you with something import to me, don't break it". I guess the ultimate test would be "uber for babysitting".. some stranger stops by and picks up your kid and takes them to the park.
Where you value your pets varies a lot by culture. But I value them much closer to my children than myself.. which would make Wag a nogo for me.
Edit - Not to make you paranoid, but my event happened at my vet. Turns out my vet abused 100s of dogs. No criminal charges. She is under review to MAYBE have something happen to her license. Or maybe have some additional oversight. After abusing and killing many animals.
