    Charlie loves this place. He has been a few times and is always excited when we turn in the drive way. I have found everyone who works here to be helpful. The first time Charlie stayed here he did throw up when we got home but the owner helped me with adjusting him back to being at home post all the excitement and we haven't had an issue since. Thanks again camp bow wow

    Terrible service and experience! I wish I could give a "0" star overall. We left our poor baby "boxer" 6 months old here last week and he had such a horrible time. They starved him for a whole day because they did not followed the feeding instructions properly and once the food was done , they did not call the emergency contact to let us know, which is absolutely unacceptable!!!! When we got there, they were two employees and one of them was extremely rude and making every excuse in their books trying to convince us that they tried to call us, when in fact neither my husband or I nor our emergency contact got a call. I understand it could happen if you call one phone but all 3 phones that's almost impossible to not get through someone to inform us about the situation. The gentlemen which was not a gentleman at all was not showing any empathy toward our concerns so we decided to not continue the conversation with him and just asked for a manager phone number or email so that we could talk and discuss our concerns. We got the number for an alleged corporate contact but just before we were about to head out we noticed our dog had a huge scratch on a big area missing hair on his neck. He also had a cut on his right ear, all things indicate our dog had been involved in some sort of fight and we were not informed over the phone nor in person when we picked him up. When we asked about what happened they said is just a "hot spot" that he has!! But even if it was a hot spot they were about to let us leave without communicating it to us. We are now checking with our vet to confirm what it is, and they suspect he may be healing from a scratch or bite by another dog. We have had great experience in the past with Camp Bow Wow in South Carolina/North Carolina were we live. But this location in Elmwood Park, NJ was Unbelievable, very upsetting experience and would not recommend this location at all for any of your pets

    Another successful day at Camp :)

    Camp Bow Wow-Elmwood Park is amazing! I've been taking my dog there for about a month now and we absolutely love it. The facility is spotless and very welcoming. My dog always comes home tired and happy. I love that I can check in on him on the live cameras whenever during the day, and that there is always someone in there playing with the dogs and keeping an eye on them. It's great to know he is well cared for while I'm at work! The owner, Roman, made it a point to get to know us and even recommended vets since we are new to the area. The staff has been wonderful and have caught on to my dogs quirks (he needs a small nap in the middle of the day to re-energize!). Whenever I ask Sidney 'Do you want to go to camp?', his ears perk up and he gets so excited. Honestly this is a wonderful facility where you can feel completely assured that your dog is receiving a ton of love and attention while you're away. We highly recommend!

    This place is amazing. Both my mom and I bring our fur children here. Our dogs are not exactly the easiest to care for. However, they have a blast at camp and come home super exhausted after a full day of activity. Roman is excellent and you could tell he definitely cares about both the dogs and the owners. Now I just need to get my dogs up to date on their vaccines so they can come back and play.

    Watching our Hunter being cared for while we were away!

    Leaving my annual review update for my favorite groomers/ people!…read more I just can't believe it has been over 10 years since I first brought my rescue Puffy and they so generously groomed her after she was neglected for so long. I still can't believe they took us on a busy Saturday. I still can't believe they were so patient with her. And I still can't believe that I had to fight them to take my money! Having them take care of my own baby who they never made stay in the crate because i spoiled him and so he hated them. And who they opened up early for to do his last grooming before he passed. To now caring for my new baby Barron and he looking like a million bucks every time he leaves! A poodle with parents that don't comb/ brush him as they should... and squeezing us in when they can because busy is not the word! Honey if you groom like they do, care for one's fur baby like they do and are affordable in this day and age of gouging grooming salons - you simply stay busy. As they should! I'm so proud of their growth and the relationships they form with their customers and most importantly their furry clients. I drive over an hour to get to them. And when I travel or they are booked my poor baby has to get Mom's bad in between face cutting BUT I refuse to go anywhere else. Ever. Just not worth it. Love you guys and I remain proud of and thankful for you!!

I already had a little…read moreexperience in the pet care industry, but I had no idea that meeting her would completely change the course of my life and career. From day one, Erica welcomed me with open arms. She believed in me, encouraged me, and was always willing to share her knowledge. Through her academy, I completed a 500-hour grooming course that became the foundation of everything I know today. Erica taught me far more than just grooming techniques. She taught me about dog breeds, coat types, breed-specific haircuts, proper hygiene procedures, skin and coat care, hydration treatments, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and even how to safely perform anal gland expression. Every lesson was taught with incredible patience, attention to detail, and genuine care. What truly sets Erica apart is the way she teaches people to understand animals. She taught me how to read a dog's body language, recognize their fears and anxieties, help them feel safe, and handle them with kindness, respect, and compassion. She always emphasized that grooming is not just about appearance--it's about building trust and creating a positive experience for each pet. Today, I am a professional groomer and proud owner of my own business, and I can honestly say that none of this would have been possible without Erica's guidance, mentorship, and constant encouragement. She helped me discover my passion and my purpose in life. Working with animals is something I truly love, and I am forever grateful that she played such an important role in that journey. In all my years working in this industry, I have never met anyone who cares for animals the way Erika does. Her dedication, knowledge, patience, and love for every pet she works with are truly exceptional. She is not only an amazing professional but also an incredible mentor and human being. Thank you, Erica , for believing in me, teaching me, and inspiring me to become the groomer and business owner I am today. I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me and for so many animals. Highly recommended!
