I took my dog for their 2 hour trial so he could be boarded. He's very sweet but very fearful and…read moretakes about an hour to warm up to new people which is why I was happy they take the time to do a trial and meet the dogs. They called me only 25 minutes into his trial and said they would not accommodate him because he was "too fearful" and "trying to jump onto the fence to hurt himself". He has never once tried to escape or hurt himself in my or anyone else's care. He loves his trainer and whole training class more than anything because they took 15 minutes to love on him and make him comfortable. If your dog is even the tiniest bit fearful don't waste your time here, they will not try to make them feel comfortable. Try Academy Kennel they are much more experienced and legitimate.

I'm very glad to have a place near my home that I can drop my dogs off, knowing that they will be…read morehappily entertained, on the days that I feel like I might not have enough time during the day to walk or exercise them like what I aim to do for my dogs. I adopted 2 dogs (one medium size and one large size) that enjoy meeting other dogs. Both my dogs are pretty active and high energy dogs...so I personally try to walk them outdoors at least a total of 2 hours a day, be it a walk around a neighborhood for a hike/nature walk around some space (I recently tried to avoid dog parks...partly because it's stressful enough to make sure your dogs don't get into a fight..but moreso..some owners are just... downright rude/disrespectful). At Caring Paws, they actually offer both boarding and daycare. For me, I use Caring Paws for daycare as I already have a place I like to board them overnight should that need arise. I love that Caring Paws open early and close late...so you can be more flexible with drop off and pickup times. They also have a large space with both outdoor and indoor area..so I at least feel there's something that's good for my dogs to choose how they want to spend time with their pup friends. My first day leaving my pups at daycare. I also feel it's a great way to get my dogs to socialize more..and simply be stimulated physically and mentally in a different way via doggie daycare. I could tell they enjoyed their time there and came back exhausted (a tired dog is a happy dog!). Given all the things about this daycare, I will likely continue to use this daycare once or twice a week to supplement my time with them the rest of the week. P.S. I like they they offer a 2 hr trial to assess whether your dog would be a good fit before attending daycare as well.

TL;DR: I would not trust Camp Bow Wow with the safety of my pets…read more My parents boarded their two small dogs at Camp Bow Wow for the very first time while we attended a family event out of state. When we picked them up that evening, one dog had a large, pus-filled wound on her face that staff described only as "a scratch." Although none of us are veterinarians, it was obvious the wound was more serious than that. The next morning, our family veterinarian confirmed it was a puncture wound that had become infected, drained the pus, and explained that it would have required stitches had it been treated sooner. Instead, the dog was prescribed a week of antibiotics. Two weeks later, the wound is healing but still not fully resolved. We contacted Camp Bow Wow to find out what had happened because no one had informed us of any incident before pickup. After investigating, management told us our dog had been injured as collateral damage during a scuffle between another dog and her companion a couple of hours before checkout. They also claimed they had called my parents to discuss the incident. That is not what happened. The only voicemail my parents received stated that both dogs were doing well and asked them to call about exit baths. They returned the call on the way from the airport, reached voicemail, and received no further attempts to contact them. When we asked why veterinary care wasn't sought--or, at a minimum, why my parents weren't notified so they could decide whether their dog should be seen--we were told the injury "did not appear to be severe enough for medical attention" and had only "occurred a couple of hours prior to checkout." This explanation was difficult to reconcile with our veterinarian's findings that the wound was already infected and that too much time had passed for stitches, despite the vet examining her less than 24 hours after the incident allegedly occurred. When we raised these concerns, management stood by their account and stated that pet owners are responsible for any veterinary expenses resulting from their dog's stay. When I asked the facility manager, Sally, about their policy for notifying owners when a dog is injured, specifically by another dog, I never received a clear answer--only a repetition of their version of events. As someone who owns my own two dogs and frequently uses boarding facilities, I understand that kennel staff are not veterinarians. I don't expect them to diagnose injuries. I do expect them to promptly notify pet owners whenever an animal is injured and allow the owner--not the kennel--to decide whether veterinary care is warranted. I also expect honesty and transparency as to when and how an incident occurred, which I do not believe we received in this instance. In my opinion, Camp Bow Wow failed to meet that basic standard of care. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend boarding your pets there.

We board our dogs, multiple nights, several times a year. The last three visits turned out to be a different story. The first time one of dogs came back with several bites on the face including an eye that required a Vet visit. They blamed it on our dogs sleeping together. Our dogs have always slept together and never an incident. The next time they lost part of the food we took for out dogs to have. The dogs were fed an incomplete meal three of the seven days. We take great joy in watching our dogs on the Webcam but one camera has been out for months and it happens to be the one where they spend most of the time. This last time we arrived to pick our dogs up late in the day, because we had bought multiple nights it would be charged and we had no problem with that - we just wanted to have the dogs home with us. We were told we needed to pay a day boarding rate. The manager was completely non workable on the issue and I requested to talk to the owner. The manager informed us we would not be able to have our dogs cared by them. We finally were allowed to take dogs and informed us the owner would contact us. She did call the next day to inform us that she would take the extra day fee from our prepayment and return the balance of funds on hold. She also informed us that we were no longer welcome.
