    Camp Run a Mutt CV - Halloween photos!!
    Miriam F.

    We love bringing our fur babies to Camp Run-A-Mutt Chula Vista! We've been coming here for years, and our dogs are senior now, the staff always takes such amazing care of them. Everyone is so friendly, patient, and genuinely loves what they do. They even host fun little events like taking Halloween pictures with the pups, which we absolutely love! It's clear they treat every dog like family. Highly recommend!

    I have been taking my pet Gunner for couple years now. Gunner has been going there for boarding and occasionally daycare Since he was 6 months old and now 2 years old. It's by far the best place for him. He loves going there and I go on vacation knowing he is well taken care of. I love they have the bath available ao he comes home clean. Thank you Camp-Runamutt for your service and kindness.

    Hose time is her favorite!!

    Kalani loves coming here! The staff is wonderful, and the big yard gives her plenty of room to play and burn off that shepherd-mix energy. I really appreciate that it's completely cage-free, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing that when she has overnight stays, there are humans with her the whole time. Couldn't ask for a better place for my girl!

    I've been using CRAM for 6 years for daycare and boarding for all my animals.I had a medical emergency and needed to extend my dog's stay for a few days. I tried to call to ask how I can get extra food to him or pay extra money for someone to get it since I am currently in the ICU. I called 12 times today from 8am to noon today to try and get ahold of staff. I got no answers and the phones kept ringing and ringing. I checked the cameras to make sure everything was alright and was astonished to see 1 person in the yard with so many dogs. Is this normal ? I tried to check the other cameras and only 2 of them were working. I have always had good experiences with staff in the past but this was unacceptable service and I will not be bringing my animals here anymore. I had to call my neighbor whom just had a baby to go pick up my dog since I don't have any living family in the area. This place unfortunately has really gone downhill.

    Mold by the water fountain  and algae / mold between the turf and tube . Really camp run a mutt ?

    I would like to take my dogs here but after looking on the cameras I will not ! You can see black mold which is DISGUSTING and not safe at all!

    I take me Pebbles to camp a few times a month, she loves it, and always come back so tired she gets lots of rest after. She is so excited to go there, they treat her so well and I am always surprised the know her so well. I love that they take care of her like I do.

    DIRTY!! My dog stayed for boarding and came back with bites and a skin infection. I emailed them and they never responded.

    This is a long overdue review. Camp Run-A-Mutt is hands down the best place for doggie daycare and boarding I have ever used. When I moved from NYC a few years back, I researched places for my Frenchie, Hugo. I had a few requirements: 1. Pet friendly staff (too many places have employees who do not seem to like dogs, which defeats the purpose); 2. Trustworthiness (I've read numerous news articles describing vacationing families receiving telephone calls that their dogs have died - usually from heat/dehydration); and 3., no cages (my dog has never been caged and would probably have a nervous breakdown if caged overnight). Camp Run-A-Mutt exceeded all my requirements and expectations. The staff treats Hugo like a member of their own family. When he boards, it's "free range," with dogs sleeping on comfy beds, chairs or couches. Also, they maintain "muttcams" so that you can check up on your dog during the day (though, I try to give Hugo his space ). I like that before a dog can attend Camp Run-A-Mutt, the staff conducts a "temperament test." They are exposed to a mild-mannered dog in a controlled setting to determine whether the dog is suitable. I have had friends whose dogs have failed the test (oh, the shame! ). Most of all, Hugo loves going there and I have piece of mind that he's safe and in good hands. He loves it so much that when I pick him up at the end of the day, he has to personally say goodbye to all the staff members.

    Overcrowded/dangerous dog daycare

    Fun (not) things to know about about this place: -There's no official limit, so they overcrowd their small yard (up to 120 dogs on weekends and holidays) for more profit. They'll claim they use "multiple" yards which they ONLY do for short periods. -They accept aggressive dogs despite their claims otherwise. Watch the cameras and you'll see at least one daily traumatic dog fight due to rough play or aggression. Poor staff, likely getting injured breaking up fights all day. -constantly understaffed. During openings and closings, there may be only 2 staff supervising 60-80+ dogs? -Most of these reviews seem to be incentivized by the company to gain numerous 5-star ratings. SUPER MISLEADING!! Your dog is just a number to them and their welfare will not be cared for like they truly deserve.

    Good place to take your dogs, they are happy but the reason I didn't leave 5 stars is because they are quite pricey compared to others.

    This was my first time bringing my dog, Kira--a Golden Retriever/Basset Hound mix--to this…read morelocation, and it was also her very first professional grooming experience, so I was a bit nervous. I called ahead and spoke with Nicole, who was incredibly friendly and was able to get us scheduled for the next available appointment. We discussed the Silver package, which included shampoo and conditioner, brushing, a hair trim, nail trim, and anal gland expression (with a small upcharge). The pricing was very reasonable and affordable. Kira was ready for pickup within two hours of drop-off and looked absolutely beautiful! I was so happy with both the results and the overall experience. 10/10--highly recommend, and I will definitely be coming back!

    My wife had a little Maltipoo who was in need of a summer cut. I often take my pup to the dog wash…read morenext doors so I called up the grooming side to get a price for hers. Staff were very polite and professional over the phone, and provided me with a full list of services and prices. Prices were very reasonable so I booked an appointment. On appointment date, I walked in and was greeted immediately and the professionalism from the staff was awesome. I explained to them what my wife wanted for the groom and they went right to work. Provided me a time frame for pickup and the whole process was very easy. Great job on the groom and we will be back for future groomings. Also check out the dog wash next door. Great spot!
