Camp Wagalong FAQs
We’re so excited to welcome your pup to a place full of fun, friends, and tail-wagging adventures. To keep camp safe, happy, and healthy for every camper, we have a few simple guidelines below.
I am new... how do I get started?​
Click the "Book Now" option and then choose "Sign Up." Then just follow the prompts to register your dog and then you can book!
​​
​​
Which vaccines should my dog have?​
Every camper needs these core vaccines before joining the fun!
-
Rabies
-
DHPP (Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza)
-
Bordetella (every 6 or 12 months)
-
Leptospirosis
​
We also recommend the Canine Influenza vaccine to keep our campers extra safe and since we play outdoors and in the woods, flea & tick prevention is strongly encouraged too. Since we do remove collars, flea and tick collars are not a good option for camp.
​​
​
Do I need to bring my dog's collar and leash?​
Yes! Campers won’t wear their regular collars during play (it’s safer that way). We’ll give them a comfy camp paper collar instead but please have your dog's collar and leash on when dropping off for camp.
​​
​
What does my dog need to bring to camp?​
When your pup stays overnight, here’s what to bring:
✔ Leash & collar/harness for check-in
✔ Their regular food in an air tight container (pre-portions meals in ziplock baggies is preferred)
✔ Any medications in original bottles or a clearly labeled pill organizer
✔ Specialty bowls (like slow feeders), if needed
✔ Label all belongings with your camper’s name & your last name
Camp provides comfy bedding, blankets, bowls, and all the essentials — so you can leave the extra
toys, crates, rawhide bones, and blankets at home.
​
If food is forgotten, we’ll happily provide house food for $2/day.
​
​
What are the rules on spayed and neutering?​
For safety, female campers can’t attend while in heat (or right after). Intact pups are welcome to play, but if we notice any issues, we may recommend being a solo camper.
​​
​
Can I bring my puppy to camp?​
Puppy campers are welcome once they’re at least 4 months old and have completed their final round of puppy shots.
​
​
