I don't usually post reviews on businesses, but I would be doing my friends a disservice if I didn't. My dog recently spent the day at Camp Bow Wow in Mid City. We've been going there for years. She went in fine, even came home fine, but in the wee hours of the night, she got up and vomited all over the house. This isn't the first time she's puked after daycare, and it usually just goes away after a few hours. I chalk it up to dogs being gross in general... But this is now the 2nd time in two months that I've had to take her to the Vet after a day at Camp Bow Wow. She was *violently* ill. She was lethargic. She wouldn't eat or drink anything yesterday. She wouldn't leave her bed. I dropped $250 on a vet visit and XRays because the vet was worried she had a major blockage (she didn't, thank god). Today she is slowly recovering. She ate a teeny bit of food this morning, but she's still not really drinking fluids. Look, I get it. Dogs eat nasty things. They are carriers of nasty things. But this was unlike anything I've ever seen. It's too disgusting to describe here. And I have a suspicion that she was eating something that one of the employees was feeding her. I asked my vet about any recent issues with other patients and Camp Bow Wow and she confirmed what I suspected. She's been seeing an uptick in post-Bow Wow vet visits. They are under new ownership. What that means is up for debate, I suppose. Could mean they haven't worked out the kinks. Could mean they're not making sure all dogs are properly vaccinated. Could mean their employees don't properly clean the facility. Could mean they don't care at all and only are in it for the money. Whatever the case may be, here's my advice: Take caution when bringing your pet there. I will never bring my dog there again. read more

This place is great. We've used them for everything from boarding to grooming and training. Very satisfied with pricing and service. The cameras are also great for seeing what the conditions are like behind closed doors. It's a well-run operation. read more

My dog loves this place! The staff is great and they all seem to love their jobs. I would imagine it takes much patience and training to be around dogs all day. The webcams are great, I can logon at any time to see what's going on. I think the prices are totally worth watching my dog have a good time! read more

My puppy came home deathly ill and had to be taken to the emergency vet TWICE! We picked him up Sunday 8/27 and I am filling out this survey 8/31. Hes been sick this whole time and can barely walk still! When I called CBW to see if anyone else was sick, all I was told was "he probably stressed himself out because mom wasn't there to pick him up each night". This is what you are here for, to take care of my dog when I have to go out of town for work. No actual concern for my sick puppy and no apologies. We will NEVER bring our puppy back to your business and I would strongly advise anyone else thinking of doing so, to rethink this choice!! read more

I brought my dog, a Siberian husky to camp bow wow for some extra excercise about 2 weeks ago. The staff interviewed my dog on our first visit. She did fine!! I brought her back two times within two weeks- on the third visit when I went to pick up my dog she had been bitten on her ear and was evidently bleeding. When I questioned the staff they had no clue as to what dog had done this. Recently the shift change attributed to this. I left my phone number with a member of the staff who claimed she would call me back and let me know the details of the incident. I never received a phone call at all I was very disappointed with the way the incident was handled and how unprofessional this place was with me and my dog!!! I will not bring her back due to their lack of communication!!! I just don't want anyone else to experience this !!!! read more

My dog loves this place!She is so dead ass tired when i pick her up that while riding home she is nodding lol.She has been to another facility right by rouses in Mid city she c ame back with fkeas and the play area sucked and the owner is a well B----.I like to support local businesses but oh well this place rocks read more

They took terrible care of our dog. When we pick him up after a 6 day stay, he was lethargic, could barely walk, could not eat, and had lost 10% of his body weight. We ended up paying hundreds of dollars at the vet to bring him back from what they said was a close call. It turns out that our dog was diagnosed with diabetes. We aren't saying that these guys are responsible for diabetes but our dog had gone into ketosis while at this place and they had no idea that this dog was close to death even though there was something obviously wrong, read more

I really love the Camp Bow Wow Mid-City location. The play yards are really large, and I really like how they have the turf outside instead of just concrete or gravel. I also really like how they have designated nap times for the dogs so they don't get too wound up or tired throughout the day. And it's right next to Bayou Beer Garden, which is always a plus! read more

We have had nothing but good experiences at Camp Bow Wow! Our goldendoodle occasionally goes here for daycare, and as soon as we turn the corner in the car he gets so excited! We have taken him to other day cares, but he seems to perk up a lot when he realizes we are coming here. We have done boarding here as well, and he always come home tired and happy. I really like the cameras so we can check in on him, although I feel like most places have those now. The staff is typically really nice and greet our dog warmly. Our goal after daycare is for a tuckered out dog since we work long hours, and this place fits the bill! read more

Love this place! So glad I found Camp Bow Wow to take care of my dog!!! Whether I am on vacation or she is there for the day, she is well taken care of! Thank you everyone at Camp Bow Wow! read more

We love this location! It just opened recently and is very clean with large yards/play areas for the dogs. The employees are the best asset, though. Our dog was nervous and not eating well, and they mixed wet food with his dry food (after asking us), which he loved! They were also so sweet and patient with us and our (sometimes twice) daily phone calls to check on him. You can tell they really love their job and the dogs. We will definitely be back! read more

Staff was friendly and kind on our first visit. Love the interaction I saw with the dogs too and the cameras were fun to watch. my Tara had a great time. Looking forward to seeing y'all again. read more

There's so much about this place that I want to love, but their execution is severely below par. I've been to the CBW in Lafayette and had a completely different experience, so perhaps this is unique to this location. The staff is friendly enough but they lack a fundamental quality in their service etiquette and experience that I have found at every other establishment that is pet affiliated...a love of dogs that feels genuine. They seem more interested in their protocols and procedures than a mission statement of "we are here to take care of dogs because we love them and want owners to feel like their fur babies are taken care of". My dog came in for an interview a few weeks back and the entire experience was a bit shocking. No interest in trying to establish a relationship with the dog before dragging her into a room for an interview when it was thundering outside. She was very freaked out and they were terribly unorganized about the whole thing, and she failed (mostly her fault). Not saying my dog is perfect, but was quite disappointed by the process and treatment. When my dog failed the test, it made me realize how much I miss Belladoggie! Hope this place shapes up and that others have a better experience than I had. I like to support local places but felt this team needs to remember why their business exists...to serve dogs and their owners! read more

A friend of mine told me to take my 2-year old Border Collie mix puppy to Camp Bow Wow in MidCity to help her become less afraid of other dogs and I admit that I was doubtful at first. I had previously boarded her at another place in New Orleans and on the two occasions that I picked her up, she peed immediately upon seeing me and was clearly freaked out. I had an entirely different experience with Camp Bow Wow. As my friend had assured me, the people working there are really kind and seemed to genuinely care about my dog. She was excited to return and I felt comfortable leaving her there. I highly recommend the place because it has helped me a lot to have a place where I can bring my dog and know that she is cared for, happy, and safe. read more

I just love this place! Leaumont is exhausted when he spends the day at Camp Bow Wow. The staff knows his name when we arrive and he's well taken care of all day. It's a relief having them in the neighborhood when I have a busy day. read more

I sent my dog to Camp Bow Wow Mid City for a weekend while out of town. This was the first and last time he will ever go there. Within two hours of coming home he began to cough. The next morning I took him to his veterinarian and he was diagnosed with Kennel Cough. It is a highly contagious illness that dogs should be routinely vaccinated against. I trusted Camp Bow Wow would hold all their "campers" to the health and vaccination standard their website says they do. I called them to alert them that their facility was contaminated and was received with total dismissal. They showed no concern for my sick dog nor the other dogs they were boarding. They showed no compassion nor concern what so ever. If you want your healthy dog to stay that way, DO NOT send them to Camp Bow Wow!!! read more

Love Camp Bow Wow and so excited to have one in Mid-City now! Love the webcams, they are so addictive!!!!!

Camp Bow Wow - Mid City is amazing! The space is very clean, it doesn't smell like dog in the check in area and the staff is extremely friendly. Hendrix has experienced camp and he has stayed for a weekend. read more

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very familiar with my dog and me. I am greeted when I come in and am informed of any improvements or interesting mannerisms my dog has made or done during her time at Camp. I enjoy being able to check in on my dog using the web cameras, and am comforted by the fact that I can report anything online. The staff always seems to be attentive to the dogs when I am watching on web cameras. Updated vaccinations were requested promptly following my dog's renewal, which made me feel comfortable that Camp Bow Wow is ensuring all campers are up to date on vaccines. Camp Bow Wow has had availability every time I have booked day care or overnight care, including Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and Mardi Gras. The location is near my house and work, and the operational hours of Camp are such that I can conveniently drop off or pick up my dog around my work schedule. My dog always comes home happy and tired. I only wish she could tell me about her day! read more

The staff at Camp Bow Wow Midcity is always friendly and accommodating. The counselors always takes good care of my fur baby and Duke just has the best time playing all day! I know he will be safe and happy and the cameras provide just an extra piece of mind. I love to check on him and see him playing during the day! read more

We love Camp Bow Wow Mid City! My dog knows that's where she's going when I put her food in bags for "overnight camp." The staff is great. Always very helpful and attentive. When I pick up my dog, she doesn't want to leave. The staff always tries to tell me something about her stay, which I appreciate. She always comes home tired and that makes me a happy dog mom. Always money well spent! Highly recommend read more

It was good until they closed their other location and combined with this one and now have twice as many clients. I have a small dog and the small dogs used to have a larger play space but they've since given it to the larger dogs and now my dog has 1/4 of the space to play that she used to! Also, zero outdoors time and no supervision or human interactionat all for the entire time she was there(I watched the xameras). I probably won't be coming back anymore and I'll be sure to let others know that if you have a small dog this is not the place for you read more

Took my dog here on February 17th. I can't believe how bad my dog and I were both treated. 2 different employees took my dog back for the "interview". I couldn't believe how bad they treated my dog, jerking on his leash, they only tested him with one dog and failed him for the daycare interview. Really? When I complained about how my dog was treated, I was basically yelled at and made to feel stupid. I watched them the whole time on video!! I also asked for the manager or owner to call me to discuss the horrible things we experienced, no call. So either they didn't relay the message or the manager/owner didn't care about how bad our experience was. It was horrible. I was in tears when I got to my car. The really odd part, I took him to 2 other day cares, and he passed with no problem! We used to love this place for my daughter's dog, not anymore! I will never trust them with my pets if that's how they allow their employees to treat animals. read more

Camp Bow Wow was very clean and organized. The staff was very friendly as well. I watch my puppy play on the web cam and I know for a fact that he had a blast. He slept the whole ride home and went back to sleep when he got inside of the house. He slept until the next day. read more

I found a dog at my work and needed a safe place for her to go. I walked in and asked if they could hold her until her owner was found. With out hesitation they said yes of course. The staff was amazing, clearly they all love animals, have great customer service skills and are beyond words kind. They posted on Facebook to try and help find the owner and were able to keep her over night since I was not. When i picked her up i was worried because it wasn't the same staff when i dropped off, but they were just as wonderful. Way to go on the awesome customer service, a rare find in New Orleans. read more

Amazing care takers like Will who seem to actually love what he does and takes pride in his work. I am very particular about who I leave my baby with but I would leave him to care for her anytime. read more

I loved being able to look-in on Lucky any time of the day. The attendants were easy to deal with and paid special attention to the pups.

I love how their camera set-up allows me to be a total voyeur and watch my Harold play with so many dogs. This place actually taught him how to be a lovely social Labrador mix, instead of an overly aggressive obnoxious mutt. Plus, a member of the knowledgeable and friendly staff is always with the dogs until the time when they return to their kennels for the night. Plus, the fact that this is a luxury option, a la The Ritz-Carlton, without the ridiculous price point! read more

I adopted my dog from Camp Bow wow 2 years ago and​ since then, have used them on a few occasions​ for day care and boarding. Last year for the Endymion parade I boarded my dog for 1 night and everything​ went smoothly. I phoned them this year to board the dog and was told we must have a 3-night​ min. To top it off, they are closed on that Saturday for day care. It seems they now have new (poor) ownership​. It would seem they would want the clients that have used them to want to continue to use them. Anyway, another lost customer​ ,and I know that I am not alone. Very poor customer​ service. read more

I was so psyched to have Camp Bow Wow open up in Mid-City for the sake of reliable, safe and conveniently located care for our dog. We have done "test drives" at Belladoggie (our fav), Canine Connection and Pet Paradise-- he gets great report cards from all 3. He is a regular at City Bark and gets along great with all of the other dogs and their humans too. He greets everyone. Now I am extremely disappointed. He had 2-3 decent play days at Bow Wow. But it seems our dog is just "too anxious" there. With 3 different discussions we were told he "snapped" at staff so we were called to picked him up. Then the information changed to "no he didn't snap at anyone. He's just so anxious". Then the story evolved again. He snapped at 2 staff. Thankfully no one was actually bitten. I also witnessed a staff member try to deal with a small dog who was clearly letting him know to not pick him up. The staff did anyway and was bitten on his lower lip. When I asked how the staff person was, the owner had no idea that this had happened. So maybe it's just our dog not comfortable there- I get that. But the poor communication with me and lack of communication with staff is troubling. We will never go back and I cannot and will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

It seems nice enough. The facilities seems great and the ppl I've interacted with have been very nice. Only problem is there is always an issue getting someone on the phone. I don't know if they only have one line or something but I've never called and had someone answer on the 1st try. read more

Absolute worst grooming experience ever. Walked my dog over at 7am for a bath and nail trim. On the walk back I noticed his back paw was bleeding. I thought since he has black nails on his hind legs, it was no problem. Nonetheless, we took a car to not further open his wound. After running some errands, I come back home to blood all over some furniture from much bleeding from his nails. When I took a closer look at his nails, four of them had been butchered! I visited the site to show them how badly he had bled. 3 hours later he started bleeding a lot again! I had to take him back so that he may be bandaged. I have spent more time and money on getting back and forth to the site; I uber places. When I arrive to camp bow wow to have him bandaged I was asked to wait for multiple minutes. I felt this should have been priority. Where is it at all normal for a dog to bleed 10 hours after a nail trim?? #campbowwow read more

We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow Mid City! You can tell the employees enjoy their jobs and genuinely care about the dogs. Our 2 year old pup is so tired and happy when we bring her home and we love watching her on their app when we are out of town. Their indoor outdoor area is well kept and spacious and the entire facility is spotless! read more

My dog has become very nervous in social doggy situations after being attacked a couple of times out of nowhere on a walk and at the dog park. Camp Bow Wow watches her to make sure she doesn't get too overwhelmed. They understand that she is a sensitive pup. They also sometimes give "report cards" to let me know how she does during the day :) read more

We love Camp Bow Wow Mid-City. Our dog recently had an extended stay at Camp Bow Wow Mid-City, and we were so impressed with the care, love, and attention he received. The staff was incredibly professional and when our little guy wasn't feeling well, went above and beyond to communicate updates to us while we were away. We are thrilled to find a place in Mid-City that takes such good care of our pet! read more

Camp Bow Wow in Mid-City is amazing! Our puppy absolutely loves spending time there. The owners have a well run business. The employees are friendly and seem to love their job! read more

I was thrilled to see the new location, just 5 minutes from my house in mid city. The new facility is beautiful, the staff is friendly, curteous, attentive and professional. I have brought my 2 Corgi's there for half day day care and they love it. They come home happy and tired. I love the fact that they have their own App so you can watch your dog in action and check on them whenever you like. Currently my dogs are boarded there for the week while we are at the beach. I've watched them play and sleep in their suite. That gives me so much peace of mind knowing that I can look in on them at any time. I treat my dogs like my children and am very particular about who I leave them with. I have no worries when I leave them at Camp Bow Wow in Mid City. read more

I took my French Bulldog, Tchoupitoulas, to Camp Bow Wow for his interview day yesterday. I ended up leaving him for the whole day, because it's a free day of daycare for your dog, so why not? He had an absolutely blast!!! Magan came to greet us, take him to join the other campers, and give me a tour. She was patient, thorough, and answered all my questions. I had about a million questions for her since it was my first time leaving my dog in any facility. She was knowledgeable about frenchies and their specific needs (frequent breaks, breathing issues, etc.) and assured me that Tchoupitoulas would be closely and carefully monitored. When I showed up to get him, he didn't want to leave! I watched him on the camper cam several times throughout the day I could tell he was having a blast. I am looking forward to bringing him again for another day to play! Thank you for the great service, Camp Bow Wow! read more
