The business will also be required to pay $150,000 in civil penalties and investigative costs, Bay Area officials said.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A popular pet resort has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought forward by San Francisco prosecutors, accusing the business of health and safety lapses at its facilities.
Prosecutors say employees at Wag Hotels around the Bay Area failed to report dog bites and mistreated pets left in their care. They also had insufficient employee training on animal care and safety protocols, lapses in facility hygiene and pest control, officials said.
These issues violated California’s Pet Boarding Law, according to officials, and following an investigation into the business, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office sued the company.
