A Haven for Dogs
Wagging Tails is one of the leading home dog boarding services providers in the UK.
At Wagging Tails we believe dogs deserve a holiday too, which means ensuring we match dogs with a carefully selected, licensed Wagging Tails carer for that perfect home from home holiday!
Why Join Us
Wagging Tails have huge demand from dog owners across the UK for their exclusive holiday service and they are looking for dog lovers to join their team and bring this service to the Nation’s dogs.
Wagging Tails is a proud member of two prestigious organisations; namely, the British Franchise Organisation (BFA) of which they are Full Members and Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWIF). This means that they have to adhere to high standards of franchising and ethics and have had to prove the success of franchisees including the levels of earnings achievable.
Wagging Tails boast not only an excellent home dog boarding service, as can be seen by the reviews from happy owners, but also an exceptional business model as well.
They have won two consecutive ‘Franchisee of the Year’ awards at the EWIF Awards in addition to boasting a ‘New Franchisee of the Year’ winner demonstrating the success and quality of their franchisees and how quickly Wagging Tails franchisees can be successful.
They have won the ‘Franchise Marketing Awards’ for Best Marketing Support to franchisees (and have subsequently been shortlisted for this award again) and finalist for ‘Best Website’, were finalists for the “Best Pet Service Business”, they won the ‘Theo Paphitis #SBS Award’ and were finalist’s in the 2017 Best Franchise Awards Business to Consumer category.
