Wag! Group Co. (Nasdaq PET) is the developer of Wag!, the on-demand dog walking platform.

At Wag! we're crazy about dogs and the people who love them, and everything we do is intended to bring them joy and keep them safe. Our company was founded in 2015 and born from a love of dogs and an entrepreneurial spirit with the aim to make pet parenthood just a little bit easier so dogs and their humans can share a fulfilling life full of joyful moments.

We invented on-demand dog walking by connecting an already passionate community of local dog walkers with Pet Parents. Launching in Los Angeles, Wag! services are now available in more than 5,300 cities nationwide. The 400,000Pet Caregivers using Wag! are thoroughly vetted and pass a rigorous screening process, and our services are bonded and insured.

Wag! donates proceeds from walks to the Greater Good Charities GOODS program, and has already provided more than 16 million meals to shelter dogs in the United States.
