Our groomers offer a non-stressful atmosphere by taking their time, playing background music and rewarding with yummy treats. Your dog will enjoy our “low stress” grooming environment.

Please book your appointment for grooming when you make the reservation for your dog’s visit or make an appointment for a day at the spa for grooming.

Corrinne Spaulding is our groomer. She has worked for us 11 years. Corrinne is in the picture at the top of the page on the far right with one of her dogs named Peyton. Yes, named after Peyton Manning. She is also owned by a Golden Retriever, a black Lab, and a couple of cats.

Horses are another passion of Corrinne’s. She currently uses the Parelli Natural Horsemanship methodology, which is designed to develop the relationship between rider and horse. She is able to ride her horses with out a saddle or bridle as a result of this method!!  This clearly demonstrates the relationship building skills of this style of training.

Currently, Corrinne is working on her Master’s Degree in animal behavior through American College of Applied Science in Florida. Her main focus is on companion animals and horses catering to the animals with behavior issues. The animals and humans of this area are fortunate to have Corrinne. She has devoted her life to the four footed creatures.  “Wag” Side Inn is very blessed to have her caring for our furry friends.

Let’s get back to basics. Many years ago the family dog ate what the family had for dinner. At that time grains were grown in better soil, the use of antibiotics was minimal, hormone injections were unheard of, over use of preservatives wasn’t an issue, therefore, food was much healthier and so were our dogs!!!
Today’s dog food is made of the bottom of the barrel scraps that are swept off the floor in the rendering plant. These “meats” ( I use the terms very loosely) combined with chemical flavoring, dyes, fillers, salt, and chemical preservatives doesn’t make a very healthy diet. This is what the dog food sold in grocery stores is made of. The equivalent of this for humans would be to eat from fast food restaurants daily with out any other nutrition! Many of you may eat fast food, but most of you don’t eat it every day!
Poor diet, combined with over use of chemical flea and tick control, and over vaccinating promotes very unhealthy dogs. This is why we are seeing so many cases of cancer as well as compromised immune system disorders in our beloved furry friends.
Why a natural diet? Why wouldn’t you want to make your best friend as healthy as he/she can be for as long as you can?
The answer to #6 is YES!!!!!!

Walking/Hiking

Those humans think a hot tub is good. They should try this!!

While attached to long lines your dog can enjoy a romp through the fields, take a swim in the pond, wade in the stream, hike down the Finger Lakes hiking trail, or go cross country skiing in the winter. Your dog won’t want to miss out on these outdoor adventures!

While out hiking the trails I decide to try one of the natural mud baths offered at the "Wag"Side Inn. Do you think it makes me look younger?

No, it's not Zues and Apollo from Magnum PI. It's Bracken and Honus, our dogs, enjoying a portion of our non-fenced yard.

Feline Friends and Exotics

Our spacious playroom offers non-canine friends playtime, relaxation and lounging in our deep window sills. Kitty condos have all the amenities for a comfortable visit including catnip, scratching posts,. lounging shelves, water and lots of love. Please remember to bring their food, medication, and instructions.

The kitty condos have all the amenities one could need, but I really like this box.

Do you suppose Santa left me anything under the tree in the playroom?

We welcome all exotics which include birds, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. You’ll need to bring food and habitat with instructions regarding care.
