    We have been campers at Camp Bow Wow for many years. We started with our first dog in 2016 and she was a very happy camper there. When she died in 2020 it took us a few years to recover from the grief. When we were ready we got a new dog and we brought our new dog Roxy there and it is one of the best decisions we have ever made. Drop off in the morning is like summer camp. The employees are usually waiting for your baby at the gates and welcome them. All dogs are so happy to be there. The staff really cares about the dogs. I see them bend down and kiss them and hug them. They welcome them by name - it's a really good environment. We have tried other places and they are usually smaller and cramped and indoors. CBW has enough space for all the dogs to run around freely. There is a dog that also goes to CBW that really likes our Roxy and Roxy doesn't seem to like this dog this AS MUCH and so when this starts to become a problem the dogs are rotated in and out. It's a great solution. We love this place. Roxy comes home loved, clean and exhausted. Look at this face! Come play with us! You'll love it.

    I want to start by saying that we have been bringing our dog to Anaheim Camp Bow Wow for over a year so I'm super disappointed that I am having to write this review. We boarded our dog while we were on vacation. Two days in we received a vm from Kris the owner, about a dog named "Brodie" (not our dog's name). In the vm she just said who she was and then hung up mid-vm saying another call was coming in. We called CBW back that same day and were told that our dog and another dog were playing rough and that our dog got bitten by the other dog. We were reassured that he was perfectly fine, acting normal, and to not worry. We got this information only after we had to call them back to ask if the original call was really for us and if so, what happened. The day we were to pick up our dog (four days later), we received a vm from CBW just before 8:00 a.m. that our dog's eye was irritated, that he had a "rash" on his paw, and they recommended that he go to the vet. When we went to pick up our dog around 9:00 a.m., he was on his way with one of the CBW employees to the vet and we were never told that was happening. When we saw our dog, his eye was nearly sealed shut, oozing fluid and blood-shot, and he could not open it; the "bite" from the other dog was an actual puncture wound (on the same side of his irritated eye); and the rash on the paw looked like he was bitten by a poisonous spider (with loss of hair, redness, and welting). After paying for a week of boarding and a $400 vet bill (with three medications) there's a chance that our dog will lose vision in his eye. The photo of the wound was taken four days after we were told about it and after the vet visit where the site was shaved and cleaned out. We tried to work with the owner, Kris Hannah about what happened. Those efforts were useless. There was a complete lack of ownership and accountability on the part of Kris and CBW. There was no explanation about her "investigation" of what happened beyond her claim that the injuries were not linked (i.e., didn't happen at the same time) and that our dog must have "ran into something". Following that discussion she then asked "so we're good, right?" If you want peace of mind that your fur baby is being cared for when you're away and that in the event something does happen, you are provided with adequate information, this is not the place for you!

    No where for the dogs to sit

    I came back to see if anything had improved and doesn't look like it did. Short staffed, poor cleanliness. The staff don't seem to care too much . My dog became allergic from the floors and cleaning products that his paws caught extremely red and inflamed. After I used an allergy spray from the vet his paws didn't calm down if I kept bringing him here. Sucks because this is close to home.

    Barney couldn't go to see his favorite human graduate from the USMC! We were in desperate need of a dog sitter. I think it's pretty cool that places like this exist. After some quick research Camp Bow Wow it is! I filled out application online uploading his most recent physical was shot records. Then I called to schedule an appointment for his interview!! 3 hour interview Barney needed to pass. We have to leave him for 3 hours to see how he adjust. You can download app and watch on a camera that they have throughout the facility I thought it was pretty hilarious that I spent way too much time watching Barney on the camera than being productive at home. When we picked him up he was crying to stay so I could only assume he enjoyed himself..lol Thankfully he passed!! I dropped Barney off for 3 nights 4 days he took a blanket and a toy. I took him with food but they also provide food it's up to you! I paid extra for 15 minutes individual time and then they would send a photo showing Barney playing which I thought was pretty cool!! I do wish this place had a little more space and a little more interaction with toys maybe balls at least but nonetheless I had a good experience and will most likely return. Barney is a social butterfly and loves being around other dogs. I did see active cleaning and customer service was cool! They have #TreatTuesday. I know Barney would love! 19/100

    Very disappointed. My family has been bringing our dogs to Camp Bow Wow for several years in the Tri-Valley/Bay Area. We have never had any issues with that location. I recently moved to Southern California (central Hollywood) and needed to bring my dog Pirate for a week of boarding. Since we are familiar with Camp Bow Wow, I figured the drive out to Anaheim would be worth it to have him staying with a business we trust. The day I was supposed to pick him up, we received a voicemail saying he had been bit by another dog and had a wound on his ear. I understand there is always a risk leaving my dog in a large group with other dogs, but I trust the staff at Camp Bow Wow to be attentive and alert to prevent an event like this from occurring. When I arrived to pick him up, the staff was unapologetic and unsympathetic to my concerns. They said they cleaned it, claimed "it didn't bleed that much" and reassured me that he was fine. Pirate is ok, but I was taken aback by how careless and inattentive the workers were about the issue when my dog was literally bit with an open wound from another dog. Will not be taking him back to the Anaheim location.

    Email snapshot

    Do not send your dog here! They obviously take on more dogs than they can safely handle sanitation wise. I am just going to post the screen shots of the email I just sent them. Horrible and should be considered animal abuse. Update - the owner did reach out to me and offered to pay for grooming and said they are going to investigate the situation as this should not be the norm. I am leaving my review based on my experience. Hopefully they can do something about it.

    I will start by saying the staff has been extremely polite and communicative during this whole process, but there are a lot of issues with their daycare rules. I got a phone call from them informing me that my dog was separated from the others for having fleas. I told them that my dog is on prescribed flea medication and I have paperwork to prove it, but they said "it's the rules". The daycare offered a complementary flea bath, where I was called again by staff and told that my dog was covered in flea bites "all over his back, butt and legs". I freaked out and immediately picked him up and took him to the vet. The vet looked him over and said he could not find any flea bites at all and that because my dog is on prescribed flea medication, if there are any fleas it likely came from the daycare itself. I talked to the daycare about this but they said it's policy to quarantine any dog that they see a flea on him/her, which seems absurd considering how easily fleas can jump from dog to dog. I send my dog to daycare because he's extremely social and loves to have a full day playing with other dogs, not so that staff can suddenly put him alone in a box all day when they find "flea bites" all over him.

    Does staff stay onsite at night when dogs are boarded here?

    I've been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding, and overall I've had a really positive…read moreexperience. To be transparent, my very first visit had a few hiccups. I was thankful that they accepted my county vaccination paperwork and that I was able to board my dog privately until she was spayed (which I did complete). There were some initial issues related to camera access and paperwork that were a bit frustrating at the time. The camera issue itself ultimately appeared to be more of a technical problem, but the initial communication at the front desk left me feeling like my concerns weren't fully heard. Looking back, it seems like something that could have been easily clarified with better communication. That said, coming from a customer service background, I believe it's important to give businesses the opportunity to address concerns before forming a final opinion. What really stood out to me was how the management team handled everything. They reached out, listened, and took my concerns seriously. They made the effort to explain, correct, and improve the experience, and followed up in a way that felt genuine and accountable. The issue was addressed quickly, and I truly believe they used the feedback as an opportunity to improve, which I really respect. Since then, I've continued bringing my dog here regularly - including overnight stays - and the difference has been clear. The staff is attentive, kind, and very in tune with the dogs. They recognize her, look forward to seeing her, and consistently keep me informed about how she's doing, including any concerns. She is treated with patience and care. They've also gone above and beyond in ways that meant a lot to me. They honored a daycare promotion I had missed when I first enrolled, and during a recent visit when my dog had been sprayed by a skunk, the team was incredibly attentive and helped clean her thoroughly and thoughtfully. That level of care made a stressful situation so much easier. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, and the team members who work directly with the dogs genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I have no doubt that they have the dogs' best interests in mind, even knowing how challenging it can be to manage so many different personalities. No place is perfect, and dogs can be unpredictable, but what matters most to me is how a business responds when something doesn't go as planned. In this case, they made it right, and that's why they've become my go-to for daycare and boarding. I'm very thankful to have found them, and my dog clearly feels comfortable there, which says everything.

    After a previous negative experience, my fiancé and I waited several months before bringing our…read moredog, Posie, back to daycare. We decided to give this facility another chance because she genuinely loves playing with other dogs, and daycare seemed very different from overnight boarding. Before returning, we made it very clear to staff that because of our previous experience, we wanted to be contacted immediately about any issues involving Posie, no matter how minor. Staff assured us they would communicate with us, and based on those conversations, we felt comfortable trying daycare again. We had a few uneventful visits, but our most recent experience raised serious concerns and brought back many of the same issues we experienced before. We dropped Posie off around 2:30 PM for Day Camp. Around 3:55 PM, I checked the daycare cameras and noticed that she was nowhere to be found in the large playgroup area that we had paid for. Concerned, we contacted the facility to ask where she was. Initially, we were told that Posie had been placed in a holding area while staff handled transfers and departures. Later, a supervisor called us and explained that because Posie is "rambunctious," she had been separated into holding crates while staff completed other responsibilities. During the conversation, he stated that she had been there since arrival. This was frustrating because it meant our dog had spent a significant portion of her daycare visit separated from the group without our knowledge. Had this been communicated to us, we could have made an informed decision about whether daycare was the right fit that day. What was particularly concerning was that it appeared Posie's situation was only addressed after we noticed she was missing from the cameras and contacted the facility ourselves. While we were still on the phone with staff, we observed Posie being brought back into the play area on a leash. This left us wondering whether she would have remained in the holding area even longer had we not checked the cameras and called. When I expressed concern about how long Posie had been confined, the supervisor focused on correcting my estimate, explaining that because her drop-off was at 2:30 PM, she had "technically" only been there for about 90 minutes. The issue was never whether it was 90 minutes or two hours. The issue was that our dog had spent a significant portion of the daycare session separated from the activities we were paying for without any communication to us. What made the explanation confusing was that Posie has attended daycare here multiple times, and staff had always given us positive feedback about her interactions with other dogs. We had never been told she was disruptive, difficult to manage, or unable to participate in daycare. The first time her behavior was presented as a concern was after we discovered she had been separated from group play, which left us confused by the sudden change in messaging. Another part of the conversation that left me frustrated was when the supervisor told us that it seemed the facility was unable to meet our needs and suggested that perhaps this was not the right place for our dog. We had not yet spoken with management, nor had anyone attempted to address the concerns we were raising before suggesting that we take our business elsewhere. This also brought back concerns from a previous daycare visit. On that occasion, Posie came home with a wound on her leg that our veterinarian indicated was consistent with a bite or tooth abrasion from another dog. Thankfully it was not severe, but the skin was punctured and required monitoring. We were never contacted about the injury, and when we asked staff about it afterward, we were told there was no report of any incident occurring. That previous experience was one of the main reasons we stopped bringing Posie here for several months. We eventually decided to give the facility another chance because she enjoys socializing with other dogs and hoped the prior incident was isolated. Unfortunately, after this most recent experience, many of the same concerns resurfaced. Another concern is the overall level of supervision during busy periods. During our recent phone call, staff repeatedly described the environment as chaotic and explained that they were managing multiple responsibilities at once. As a customer, that left me wondering whether there are enough staff members available to supervise the number of dogs present while simultaneously handling transfers, cleaning, pickups, and other duties. Finally, during the last two daycare visits, Posie was returned to us completely soaked and smelling strongly of urine. We were told that staff regularly clean and mop the play areas, but both times we felt the need to bathe her immediately upon arriving home because of the odor. I am currently waiting to speak with management and hope these concerns are taken seriously.

We trusted Hudson Training Facility with our dog, Blaze, and unfortunately our experience ended in a way no pet owner should have to go through. Before dropping Blaze off for a two-week board and train, I had met with Noel and specifically informed him that Blaze had previously broken his front leg. He had fully recovered and been cleared by the vet, but I wanted them to be aware of his history. He informed me he would keep an eye on him and make sure he did not do any strenuous training with him. During the first week, I received videos and updates showing his progress. Then I received a call from Noel telling me there had been an incident and that Blaze was not putting weight on his leg. When I arrived, I was told that Blaze had fallen off the grooming table while Noel had reached down to grab something from the floor. The whole story just sounded fishy to be honest. The fall resulted in Blaze breaking his leg in two places. Joseph (owner) sent me to the vet that they deal with and their doctor told me the break was too severe for his expertise and that Blaze needed a specialist. The vet I went to later explained that the severity of the injury was consistent with the height of the fall. What disappointed me most was how the situation was handled afterward. The owner initially downplayed the injury and said it was probably just a sprain and had the nerve to remind me about the liability waiver that I signed that waives ordinary negligence before we even knew the full extent of the injury. He even mentioned not going through insurance. What the contract does not waive is gross negligence, which is exactly what occured. Joseph ended up going through his insurance but I ultimately had to pay nearly $12,000 upfront for Blaze's surgery and treatment. I could not receive the settlement until Blaze was fully cleared which lasted months. That financial burden was incredibly stressful and could have been devastating for many families. I also requested an injury report and a written statement explaining exactly what happened, but I never received either. To this day, I still do not know exactly what happened. To top it off, when I picked Blaze up, he was dirty, his paws were dry, his nose was chapped, and he looked poorly cared for compared to when I dropped him off. Accidents can happen, but this felt preventable, especially if you are a professional training facility. The lack of accountability, communication, and documentation, is why I cannot recommend Hudson Canine Kennels to other pet owners.
