Frequently Asked Questions

All of our boarding rates include playtime, how much or how little completely depends on what your dog wants during their stay!

Per state law, all dogs must be up to date on their Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, & Bordetella vaccines. The state of Iowa also requires any dog older than six months to be altered (spayed/neutered) in order to be apart of daycare. We can still board unaltered dogs but they cannot be a part of group play.

We have a 10% off Military, Veteran, First Responder, or medical worker discount on every purchase. This cannot be used with other limited time discounts we offer throughout the year or gifted discount cards.

No, each dog needs to have their own daycare package.

Yes, we allow pickups/drop offs every day of the year!

No, we need the whole registration process to be completed before we can hold reservations for boarding or daycare.

Yes, we can board dogs that do not like to be around other dogs. They receive one on one play time with a team member and their siblings if they have any at no extra cost!

Yes, we can administer meds. Please provide written instructions when bringing the medication in.

All of our play groups are separated based on temperament & play style. Not by size.

Wild Paws is a wonderful doggie daycare!! They actually pay close attention to your fur-baby to make sure they enjoy their time there!! My boy has hit middle age so he’s not always up to playing all day.. When he gets worn out they have him hangout with person @ reception desk.. They are currently making updates on the play area & building.. They currently don’t offer grooming, however when updates are done they will be offering it.. As far as price goes they are less expensive than others.. The owners are sisters are are very hands on.. They are always there & can answer any questions you have about facility or how your “child” did that day.. Oh, I haven’t told ya about web cams they have placed so you can check on your “kid” throughout the day!! ?To sum it up,if ya take your “child” anyplace other than Wild Paws, SHAME ON YOU!!

We boarded my 1 year old GSD for the first time and had a good experience.I liked being able to check in on the live feed and the staff are very friendly.My pup was a little anxious around big dogs they gave her breaks from group play when needed.They know what they are doing and I feel my dog was well taken care of.

Wild Paws has been such a great place for our girl, Millie, for the last few years. They love her just like their own and take such good care of her. ❤️ Highly recommend taking your pup to Wild Paws!

We LOVE Wild Paws. Our dog has been going there since she was 4 months old. The staff there is so kind and I truly feel like they care about our dog. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences with timely communication, flexibility and overall care.

I’ve taken my dog here for overnight boarding and day care multiple times, and I could not be happier with Wild Paws! They make my dog feel very comfortable and I don’t have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Their prices are very affordable too!
