Good place. They paid close attention to my dog who was very nervous about going there. Now that he feels more comfortable and that they know him, I am comfortable that I have a place to leave him if I have to work late at work or be gone awhile. I like that I can watch him play on the web cam they have on their website, too. read more

Avoid this place like the plague! They do not care about your dogs! Our experience with Camp Bow Wow boarding was a nightmare! The staff don't even seem like they like dogs. As I was watching the dogcam during my dogs stay at Camp Bow wow there was one staff member in particular who literally looked like she hated her life! She did not interact the with dogs at all...when the dogs showed interest in playing wit her she would push them off! (Who does that!) What really pissed me off was I witnessed her forcibly dragging my dog by the collar to get her to leave playtime! I was shocked! I immediately called and reported the staff member but management didn't seem to care about the situation. They brushed it off and said "we will take care of it... thats it...no sorry...no reassurance that that staff member would not interact with my dog anymore... nothing! It felt horrible to be so far from my dogs ( I was in Europe) and not feel like they were in good hands! Other things that make this place horrible: -They don't give you a tour of he facility and show you where your dog(s) will be staying and how playtime works. -They don't select dogs that are "compatible" and "friendly" with yours (they just throw them all in one area and hope for the best) -they claim that your dogs go to an "outside" play area but every time i looked at the outside play area camera there were no dogs there! Of note, I was flipping through the dogcams and came across one of the private suites where i saw a dog sitting in his own vomit! The dog was sitting there for quite awhile and when I rechecked it to see if they cleaned it, the camera was turned away (sketchy?!?) So there it is, DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE! Go to Taurus on Metric, they are absolute dog people, they always smile, they remember your dogs names and their needs, and they treat them like they are their own! The only reason I gave this place 1 star was because of the dogcam! read more

They did so great with our dogs. My girl is a little older and can be snippy, but with their love and care she was a good girl all day and got along with the other dogs there. Our dogs slept all night after they got home and well into the next day. They gave us pictures of our dogs there along with a little note of how they did, it was very cute! read more

If there is one thing that truly disappoints me it's wasting my money. Let me start by saying my dog has come here for several years (less frequently lately) and I've always spoken highly of this establishment to anyone looking for dog care. Unfortunately lately the quality of care has come into question. I brought my dog here during labor day weekend. Typically when I look at the dog cams I see him playing or sniffing other dogs. This weekend I didn't see him one time. I checked several times and even called twice for clarification. I spoke to a gentleman who informed me that due to having so many dogs the dogs would be on a rotational play, which made sense but I would have preferred being told this before, either when I signed him up or checked him in. I decided to let my dog stay the night and check in, in the morning. I checked at 8:30 9:20 and 10:30 and at home of those times did I see him. I made the decision to pick him up 5 hours before my original scheduled time because I felt he would be better off at home. Upon picking him up I noticed brown stuff (maybe poop, mud, throw up, who knows) on his back heels...even though he had just been given a bath. This is the second time I've picked him up after a bath and he's dirty. The manager washed his heels but the fact remains that I am all around unsatisfied with the level of care at this Camp Bow Wow location and will not be returning. Furthermore I recommend they increase headcount so more dogs can get active playtime. Or update their website to reflect that dogs get all day playtime when space allows. Either way we will not be returning or recommending Camp Bow Wow to others. read more

I love Camp Bow Wow. People there are wonderful; Gloria and Brooke always take great care of my Tigger. Every time I call they go above and beyond to make sure my dog is taken care of. I would totally recommend this place for anyone looking for boarding for their dog. read more

I travel a lot for work, so this is my dog's home away from home. It's great to know that I can leave her there in such great hands and be able to focus on my work when I leave town. The staff members are always helpful and address my dog by name as soon as we enter. The play all day concept ensures that my dog gets plenty of exercise. I recommend CBW to any and all dog owners in Austin. read more

They made it easy to schedule an interview. Most of the people were nice. They have cameras so you can watch your pup. I like that they separate the little dogs and big dogs. They do not have toys or do activities with the dogs. My pup was bored. I watched him run back and forth all day looking for a ball or toy. The location is great if you live close to pflugerville. It's so far and not worth driving in that traffic for. If you live north Austin or near pflugerville, it may be worth it. read more

My dog was attacked & bitten while in the care of Camp Bow Wow Austin last week. I wrote an immediate review which got filtered. Please go to the bottom of the page and click on "filtered reviews". So far I have found 10 other owners who have picked up their dogs to find that they were attacked & bitten by aggressive dogs. Do your research before bringing your dog here. read more

I took my dog, Hobbes, to Camp Bow Wow for boarding because I was looking for an all-day play facility. Hobbes, being the energetic dog-lover he is, absolutely loved the place. Pros: Feeding instructions, clean facility, doggie play environment They accommodated my feeding instructions pretty well.They also offered to add some wet food to the bowl (they would charge me but that was okay) if he skipped meals. Hobbes still ate only on and off and lost a lot of weight, but I don't blame them. He's always been a picky eater. The facility looked relatively clean when I took a quick tour and the other dogs seemed to get along well with Hobbes....no cuts or scratches. Cons: health concerns, bad shampoo He came home once with kennel cough after being boarded for two days. He's been vaccinated. I let it go since he was a 7 month old puppy and was at high risk. However, this last time he was boarded for two weeks, and he developed bloody sores between his toes. The staff said they didn't notice it all, even though it looked pretty bad. I wonder if the facility is really kept clean all the time or if Hobbes was stressed out and they didn't notice him biting/licking his toes. I know they can't keep an eye on him all the time, but I'm thinking of switching to a local facility that might pay more attention to things like that. I also got a free shampoo (which is great!) because he stayed for 2 weeks. But he still smelled pretty bad when I got him and his coat was much duller. They probably don't use very good quality shampoo. read more

Our dog is always so exhausted from having so much fun at day camp! We love the attention and care the staff gives to the dogs. Great place to board!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is such a fantastic place to bring your dog over night of for daycare. Camp Bow Wow is the best thing that has ever happened to our rescue pup! We rescued our dog, Olive, three years ago and always had some issues socializing her with other dogs. My husband and I didn't want to leave our Olive at home all day in north Austin so I found Camp Bow Wow after many positive Yelp reviews. I was nervous about her first evaluation and that she'd get rejected, of course, she was playful and immediately accepted. (Confession, that first day I watched her via webcam and she was having a blast! Check plus for the webcams!) Ever since, we would take her to 'camp' every week for about three days and she would come home pooped. After some time, approaching other dogs while on our evening walks never ended in an awkward puppy altercations. To our surprise, they used her as an 'interviewer dog' for new doggie evaluations! Who knew our little Olive was so social!? The facilities are immaculate, Olive never came home smelling badly. Most importantly, the staff is AWESOME! They seem to somehow have unique and individual relationships with each of the animals and I always knew Olive was receiving exceptional care and attention. They are always incredibly nice, helpful and informative- even sharing a story or two about who olive played with that day. Olive especially LOVES Christina and the girl who works the desk in the afternoon (I'm sorry I've forgotten her name!!!) My husband and I have moved to south Austin and it broke my heart that we'd have to find something closer for her! I just don't know if anyone would compare to Bow Wow.... unless they opened a south location!!! read more

They always take my "$150 suggested donation dog" from Austin Pets Alive on short notice and treat her like a pure bread. They seem to really care about the animals. My go to spot when heading out of town. read more

I take my dog here once a week and have been doing so since he was a small puppy. He absolutely loves playing here all day while I am at work! The staff is always nice and friendly and my dog is very excited to be dropped off here for the day. The cameras you can watch them on is a great bonus too! read more

Hidden gem. This place rocks! They are so accommodating and took great care of my 2 dogs. Happiness! Would totally recommend this for anyone with pets or who wants to gift someone with a pet. Premium service in a difficult business model. Clean facility, thorough tour and spent time answering questions. Camp Bow Wow delivers on so many levels. The employees are first class, they know my dogs by name and always give me a report of how my dogs did. I've lived in other cities where pricing was unreasonable for the service. The pricing is fair especially when considering all that they offer. No nickel and dimes here. read more

I love how reasonably priced you are. I love that the dogs can be seen on webcam and they just get to play all day. I like that you are full service so my dogs can get a bath before they come home. read more

I work a crazy schedule and I have an energetic pooch who LOVES to play. I visited another day care place and was really gun shy to take my love bug anywhere due to it being SO hot this summer. I toured Camp Bow Wow with Christina - she was ever so helpful and patient with me. The BEST part of CBW is that the dogs play ALL DAY LONG. They have a break mid day to rest while the staff cleans the play areas. They have indoor and outdoor areas - and the warehouse is nice and cool even during the "hot dog days of summer". Also, the Camper Cams are too addicting! I watched my pup play all day with supervision of staff members. I can't tell you how happy I am to find a place so perfect for me and my dog. The staff is wonderful. I feel 100% comfortable with them taking care of my dog. read more

My dog loves Camp Bow Wow and I do too! When I adopted my dog six months ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. To say that my dog, Charlie, is energetic --is the understatement of the year! He is full of love and full of fun but can be a challenge to take care of on my own. Luckily, Camp Bow Wow is here to help. I learned about Camp Bow Wow when I attended the Mighty Texas Dog Walk. I live in South Austin but work up north in Round Rock and was very pleased to realize that Camp Bow Wow is conveniently located on my way to work. I decided to give them a try and am so thankful that I did. I take him as often as my budget will allow to daycare. ($24 a day, but worth it) The staff at Camp Bow Wow is pleasant and nice to chat with and always greets Charlie with a smile. He is beyond excited when I pull into the parking lot. He's also very sad to leave when I pick him up after work...he's laid down in front of the exit door several times, indicating he'd rather stay there than go home... Please note that unlike many other daycares in town, the dogs play ALL DAY which makes for a great, tired dog that night and even into the next day--they get worn out! I would highly recommend Camp Bow Wow to any dog owners for daycare or overnight stays...you won't be disappointed. PLUS, YOUR FIRST "TRIAL" DAY IS FREE, so it's completely worth giving them a try! read more

When I moved to Austin my new home was not ready, in fact the backyard was infested with fleas from the previous owner and my roommates two dogs were attacked. So I searched online for someone to take her until we could secure a hotel and found Camp Bow Wow, I love the free play boarding style. They were so nice to take Emma and keep her for two days and nights. without having met her before. I expected to pick up a dog who was confused and frightened, and she was so happy she loved everyone there and as soon as she got in the car she was fast asleep tiring out my puppy is no easy task! I am so greatful to them and anytime I go out of town this for sure is the place I will use! read more

I've been using Camp bow wow for my two dogs for over 7 years and have never had an issue what so ever. Staff is always nice and outgoing and my dogs always come back happy. I like the fact that I can watch them on the internet when I gone read more

I love camp bow wow!!! Love being able to watch my dogs while they are boarded. I HIGHLY recommend snuggle time if you have a dog that needs it. I have 2 dogs and only one is needy. I loved watching on the video the snuggle time. Yes, I watched it. It was the best and my friends that I traveled with couldn't believe snuggle time. read more

I took my little Maltese here several times for daycare before we moved too far away. I loved having the cameras - yes I went online and checked on him sometimes. (And yes he's really spoiled.) I felt he was safe there and didn't worry about leaving him. The staff are great! Very friendly, even at 7 in the morning. Mine was always in the small dog area and even that seemed a bit hectic sometimes. They can go in and out on their own though, kinda cool. I found it a little expensive but think they all are. read more

My dog Owen loves Camp Bow Wow. Of all the camps he's been to, this one is definitely his favorite and my favorite. All of the employees are great and always have awesome attitudes!! They all genuinely care about my dog's well-being, and he always come home so tired. I love it, and my dog's behavior has become 10 times better since he has been going to camp. Owen goes multiple times a week and always seems to love it. Also, being able to watch your pup on the camper cams is awesome! Perfect place for every dog! read more

My building had an dog-focused event where I met a few people from Camp Bow Wow. I decided to give the doggy daycare a shot and my puppy loved it! The staff (Brooke is the only name I remember!) was excellent and very informative. I was able to check in on her on the webcams as well, which was a nice bonus too. Can't wait to go back. read more

My dog absolutely loves coming here - she knows when we take exit on I35 that we're heading for play time! It's reasonably priced for overnight stays, the accommodate our need for refrigerated food and I absolutely love that I can look in on her while she's playing with the Camper Cams. I've been taking my dog here for two years and the staff has always been super friendly and excited to see us. My pup literally can't wait to get inside once we've parked the car. We love it read more

This place cares about the dogs. I just did 3 days of daycare, my pups are happy, they are tired, and they are definitely coming back here. They give you this awesome kind of welcome card when your dogs pass the first day. So cute. Then they got a valentines goodie bag, with all good treats. I never expected that!! I had them groomed on their last day and they smell great and nails are perfectly done. You can beat looking at the cameras during the work day either to check up on them. Love this place!! read more

My two dogs have been customers for boarding and daycare for years. We (four-legged and two-legged) are always addressed by our names, greeted with a friendly smile, and never have less than 100% confidence in long-term boarding over the holidays and special occasions. If we ever return to Austin, without a doubt, Camp Bow Wow is who we'd return to for our daycare and boarding needs. We all miss the gang there and wish them all well. read more

My dog loves going to Camp Bow Wow! He gets all excited when we walk in. I love the cameras that I can view him on and the report card on how he did. read more

Camp Bow Wow is a wonderful place to board your dogs. We have been taking our dogs here for years. The staff are so nice, attentive, and they love our babies! If you are curious about Camp Bow Wow, ignore the negative reviews and check out the Camper Cameras. You can watch the dogs playing from anywhere that you have internet. Our dogs love it here!!! read more

My pup Winston loves coming here! The staff is friendly and as an overprotective mother I appreciate the live camera feed they have on at all time. I'd highly recommend CBW! read more

I was worried about leaving my pup for a long week while I was out of town traveling, but I had a friend recommend Camp Bow Wow to me and I must say, I'm exceedingly happy. Bergy absolutely loves being here and has a great time. He loves to play and the All Day Play style that CBB has it perfect. In fact, he's so worn out after a couple days of play he typically naps for a good day and a half to fully recover. CBB's staff is wonderful, kind, and you can definitely tell they love the pups they watch over. The pricing is better than most places since it's All-Inclusive and you don't get nickeled and dimed by a la carte fees. I can't say enough good things about CBB. They really do a fantastic job. read more

Very attentive and caring staff. They answer all of your questions and make sure your dog is taken care of. For this being my first doggy daycare ever, I feel like I experienced the best care. If only the commute weren't so far and austin traffic wasn't so terrible. Till we meet again, Camp Bow Wow. read more

We have taken our puppy twice and she seems very happy and loves going! We typically use Camp Bow Wow in San Antonio. The Austin location was just purchased by San Antonio owner. I invite more reviews from Austin as we use it infrequently. I can't say enough good things about San Antonio location! Now that both locations have the same owner I believe all dogs will be well taken care of at all times. read more

Convenient hours, 7 days/week and very nice staff. I really appreciate the cameras so I can see my pup playing during the day. The camp offers day camp, overnight camp and basic grooming, which meets all my needs. Ginger had a good time at day camp and came home pleasantly exhausted. I'm looking forward to a safe, comfortable overnight stay next time I travel. read more

This franchise has been great in every town we've lived in. This one is no exception. Staff is friendly, pup was happy and worn out at the end of the day! read more

We have been bringing our pup Nelo to Camp Bow Wow for about 2 months now. So far, we haven't had any issues with them. The staff seem pretty friendly and Nelo, being a shy dog, has surprisingly grown attached to at least 2 of the counselors now. The camp cams are a pretty awesome bonus to bringing your dog here, but it's kind of hard to tell what's going on sometimes as the cameras aren't the best quality, but it's more than I could ask for at a dog daycare. Despite reading some of the REALLY negative reviews, I personally haven't experienced any horrific events with this daycare... But I am certainly not going to let my guard down. Just like any mother of a child, it's hard to completely trust someone if they have a record.. Regardless of how long ago it may have happened. Nelo is MY child so I can't 100% say I trust this place.. But like I said... I have not personally had ANY trouble whatsoever with Camp Bow Wow. The ONLY thing that I have noticed out of the ordinary is that every time I bring Nelo home... He is usually whimpering. I can't tell if he is just excited and overwhelmed or what... But usually when we get home.. He runs STRAIGHT to his water bowl and drinks TONS of water... I've even had to fill his bowl up a 2nd time. It's my understanding that they have water in all campgrounds.. But I just find it interesting that he is always SO thirsty.. And my Nelo is NOT shy of water. So I will continue to keep an eye on that... But overall, I'd say CBW is a great place. Give it a shot! :) read more

Took my dog here on Valentines Day, he had a blast. Even got a free heart tag, he was so tired when he got home. This will be my new DayCare. Love this place read more

This facility is WAY too overpriced and does not compare to their locations on other cities. We watched our dog play without supervision most of the time and when there was a "counselors" they stood there typing on their phone and didnt bother to watch the animals. Our dog was injured by another dog and needed treatment at the vet after we picked him up. The employees all seem completely fake. Sure, its great for them to be friendly but they go WAY overboard. I cringed each time I had to call the place to check on my dog. If you care about the health and wellbeing of your pet then I would stay away from this place. There are many other facilities on Austin which would be happy (real) to watch your dog while away. Funny, as had I read about all the dogs being injured there, I would have never taken my dog to Boot Camp. Be sure to see the other horror stories by looking at their listing on Google. read more

Had a great first experience with Camp Bow Wow! Our interview day went well and we followed up with a second visit this weekend where my dog had a great time with all the other pups and staff members at Camp Bow Wow (plus he came home looking spiffy after his bath and nail trim with a Halloween themed bandanna, unfortunately it was enormously muddy out today so it didn't last long but he looked great before running around outside!) read more

My dog Maya and I love this place. She has so much fun, loves the treats and loves the staff. Speaking of the staff, they are all awesome. Super friendly and great with Maya. They have web cam so you can check in on your best friend throughout the day which is always fun. Good job Camp Bow Wow!! read more

My puppy has been here twice for daycare, so far so good. I know he's tired afterwards because he sleeps in the car but because he's so high energy he still acts normal once we get home. It's a good location not far from home and the staff is nice and friendly. I like how you don't have to make an appointment or check for availability first, you can just drop your dog off first thing in the morning with his lunch and go. Not a big fan of the artificial grass but at least he won't get dirty lol. Definitely will be going back. read more
