Opening of the Wagsworth Dog Hotel in South Macon

Owner Terri Marion Says She’s Trying To Make A Home For All Dogs

MACON, Georgia – We all worry about our pets when we go on long vacations, but a new luxury dog ​​hotel in Macon is looking to allay your worry.

The owner of the Wagsworth Hotel, Terri Marion, was inspired to create the dog hotel because she wanted to add a warmer feel to the traditional kennel.

“I have lived in Pennsylvania for the past five years and worked for a place there that was an old stone farmhouse on several acres and wanted to bring that feel to central Georgia,” Marion said. .

In Wagsworth, each dog has their own room, bed and blankets which are changed daily, and check out is at noon like a hotel for humans.

Marion wants the dogs to have the same experience there as at home.

“The normal atmosphere they get is TV, radio, people talking, free travel. If there are fewer people for the weekend, they walk around the building with me,” he said. said Marion.

The dog hotel has an outdoor and indoor playground where dogs can exercise, play, and socialize with other hotel visitors. Marion says the goal is to try and get the dogs out as much as possible.

She also offers bespoke clothing in her in-house boutique to keep a man’s best friend in shape.

Regardless of the breed, visitors can give Marion the measurement of their dogs, and then she and her associate at Waverly Kennel in Pennsylvania can design a custom outfit for your dog.

“Everyone always stops me for what my dogs wear or for what I use for them. I try to put all the stuff I normally use for my dogs together and put them in one place,” said said Marion.

She also buys locally to supply some of her homemade products, such as Petals and Tails dog shampoo and Good Boy Goodies dog treats.

In the coming months, Marion wants to create a pet pantry called Mik’s Miracle Pet Pantry, named after her Miniature Salt and Pepper Schnauzer, which will focus on providing dog food and basic supplies to those who need it.

Marion says she wants a centralized hub to give others what she is trying to provide for her “children”.

“I honestly think, just the vibe you get when you walk in, the feel, the aesthetics, the cleanliness, I try to make people a family. You know, that’s how I was raised. , so when you walk in you are part of the Wagsworth family, ”said Marion.

The Wagsworth Hotel is located at 7209 Hawkinsville Road, Suite 3 in southern Bibb County. They are open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. then reopen from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. They are also open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
