    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?

The facility itself is very well equipped, with more than 100 rooms. They also have separate isolation rooms in case a dog gets sick, which helps prevent illnesses from spreading to other dogs. I thought that was a huge plus. All new dogs are required to provide vaccination records, and they also do about a 20-minute temperament assessment before joining. Based on each dog's personality, they arrange suitable playgroups instead of just mixing all the dogs together. The staff are also very professional and attentive. They keep daily records of each dog's eating habits and bathroom activity, which really gives owners extra peace of mind. Overall, it feels like a very responsible and well-organized place for dogs.

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.

He was listening, he was following commands and seemed to be comprehending very well. It was because of the prong collar that was dugged into his neck whenever a command is given. Fast forward the two weeks...I was so excited to get him back and got instructions on how he was trained and to continue the training on my own. Now I don't have complaints on how they train, each person has their own technique however when I got my dog back with me alone, he was super anxious and scared. He wouldn't let me leave his side. Every time I got up he would get up too. Everywhere I went in the house he would follow. I get it because we've been apart for two weeks and he was afraid that I would leave him again. He really did not like the prong collar. He yelped one time when I took it off. It's not an easy collar to take off. I gave the prong collar a try for a few days and he listened but he was not the same happy dog that I was used to. He was withdrawn and did not let people approach him or touch him. He did not bark at all which was not him. He was also super skinny when I got him back, you can see his bones sticking out. They said he ate all the food I brought. I brought kibble, some home made food, treats and a new bag of fresh pet. I was told that he had completely finished all of his food. My dog doesn't eat a whole lot, so I was surprised that he had nothing left. I did not want anything back, I just know my dog doesn't eat that much and is very dry picky.l and hoped he was fed well. That part I'm not too sure on. When I got him back I did manage to weigh him and he was 4.6 lbs, he usually weighs about 5 1/2 lbs. He is now eating right and gaining his weight back but I still feel his bones. After a couple of days of using the prong collar I stopped putting it on him. He would lay where he was, very sad and distant. He didn't even want to play with my other dog, he just wanted to sit right by me when he had his collar. After leaving the collar off for several days now he has become a super happy and very playful puppy. He still obeys commands with treats of course. I don't think anything was wrong with the training my dog received. I think this place is for a dog who is a bit more mischievous and does not entirely listen. I also think it's more suitable for dogs of a larger size or breed or weight like my pit bull but she listens and is very mellow. I do appreciate the help that Hudson's Canine Kennels gave, unfortunately this did not work out for me or my dog.

To be honest, I felt pressured to write my first review just to receive a discount, which already didn't sit right with me. I usually prefer to wait until I've had a few visits before leaving feedback. At the time, everything seemed fine the cut was good, and I liked how the master groomer handled my dog. However, during my most recent visit, I specifically asked them not to cut my dog's eyelashes. (Was growing them for a photo shoot) When I picked her up this past Friday, they had clearly cut them anyway. This was upsetting because I gave clear instructions, and they were ignored. I called to address the issue, and while the person on the phone did apologize, it felt very dismissive more like "what can we do for you?" than genuine concern. There was no real accountability, and it felt like it wasn't taken seriously. Over the four visits I've had, I've also noticed a pattern of upselling services and pressure tactics. On top of that, I've been told that tips given to employees don't actually go directly to them, which is very concerning. What really sealed it for me was being asked, after leaving a 4-star review, why I didn't give 5 stars. There was no appreciation just expectation for more. Because of all of this, I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 1. Honestly, if I could give zero, I would.
