Our mission at Wag’n Tails is to help mobile pet care professionals be successful. Since the founding of Wag’n Tails, we have built our reputation on innovation, common sense, and customer service, and we continue to lead the industry because these core values still define our company.
Our family formed Wag’n Tails and opened the first grooming salon in St. Paul, MN. Within five years, Wag’n Tails was operating six pet grooming salons.
To better serve its clients and their pets, Wag’n Tails decided to go mobile and converted two pet grooming vans. By 1980, Wag’n Tails had six pet grooming vehicles serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
Wag’n Tails relocated to Howell, MI. Over the next ten years, its mobile pet grooming business grew to twenty-two mobile pet grooming vehicles and two pet grooming salons serving central and southeastern Michigan.
Wag’n Tails recognized the value proposition and growing demand for mobile pet grooming services and made the decision to transition its business model and become a manufacturer of specialty pet grooming vehicles. The Company’s founder, Dina Perry, designed a pet grooming vehicle and developed a mobile business plan to help customers ensure success. In 1999, Dina’s son, Dennis, purchased the business from her.
Dennis and his father, Chuck, opened an 8,000 square foot production facility and hired the best professionals to manufacture and sell Wag’n Tails pet grooming vehicles.
