To kick it off, KimptonXWag! will gift 1,000 free 20-minute services (either walks or drop-ins) for guests staying at one of Kimpton's participating properties.

Kimpton takes pride in providing best-in-class benefits and perks to its people too and, as a result, all Kimpton employees will be provided a Wag! Premium subscription and access to redeem one of the 1,000 free walks, as long as supplies last.
