I was happy at first because my puppy was so happy when we got her home. She starting coughing and sneezing after her last visit. Took her to the vet yesterday and she has a nasty case of kennel cough. We did out part and had her vaccinated. I understand things happen.... but maybe they neednto clean better. Im sad cause I won't be bringing my dog back. I don't want to have to pay a 150$ vet bill after each visit. The sad thing was, when my vet asked where she went to play, I told them Camp Bow Wow. She said they get cases of kennel cough from them frequently. So good luck in finding a cleaner place. Just aucks because some of the staff was so sweet. Well, sweet and dirty don't make it for me. Hope this helps. read more

I heard many bad reviews but was desperate. I was disheartened to see my dog was never out. I called three times a day between my cases and was told he was on a "water break"... after six hours of calling, I left work (heart surgeries) and got my dog. He smells like urine... and I am beyond mad. I am happy to pay more to not him take him back read more

If I could give negative stars I would. My dogs went here several times and seemed to like it. We however stopped bringing them here last October after our 1 yr American Bulldog was attacked (huge bite on her leg and scratches on her belly) by a Golden Retriever while under their supervision. Our dog trainer later told us that dogs that fight unfairly and go for other dog's legs have some issues and shouldn't be trusted around other dogs. When I asked if the dog that attacked my dog would be banned from coming, they basically said no. Why the heck should we ever come back then!?!? While we were thankful that they picked up the bill for the stitches she needed on her leg it still doesn't compensate us for the post traumatic stress that it has caused her to have. We tried to move her over to Dogtopia but the attack at camp bow wow really messed her up mentally. She failed 2 evaluations there because as soon as the dogs crowded around her she dropped to the ground in fright!! Thanks for nothing Camp Bow Wow and how about you stop sending me emails telling me you miss my dogs and asking why we haven't been back. If you care about your furry kids, please please please don't come here! Our poor baby girl is forever traumatized and it is Camp Bow Wow's fault!!!!!! read more

I am writing this review to share our honest experience, as I always look at reviews myself. The things I liked about Camp Bow Wow were the cameras to check in on our dog, the staff seemed friendly. We boarded our 9 month old large breed puppy Boxer/Mastiff mix for 10 days. They said there were no instances with him, that he is very playful and he did great. When I picked him up, the attendant said he had a few scratches. She was trying to show me, but he was moving around too much. They said that he lets the other dogs bite on him? and they seemed to know and named one dog that had been biting on him. I understood about a few scratches but I was shocked when I got home and saw several bite marks that were on both sides of his face. You can see the photos. Pics are of one side of his face. At no point was I notified that anything like this had happened. I sent a message to them and they acknowledged that this was not ok for any dog to go home like this, they are teaching their staff to intervene more quickly, and that this was all puppy play, with puppies with sharp teeth. My dog is non aggressive, he's played with several Siberian huskies at the dog park-who sort of bite when they play. Never has he gotten any wounds like this. He certainly must have been yelping/in pain. This is not due to puppy play, it's due to staff letting it happen/not monitoring closely enough. They offered me a free day of play. I told them I feel horrible about what happened to my dog and unfortunately, I have no confidence that they will intervene in the future. In my opinion, there are too many dogs in the space provided at one time, for the large breed dogs. I have had 2 friends who like Camp Bow Wow, and have had no instances and 2 other friends with negative experiences.i read more

Initially during the four and half hour "interview/trial stay" I was not sure if this place could handle my two five month old puppies' needs. Watching them on the webcam app was a number one factor why I chose this place and I monitored them closely. Following week the puppies were boarded here for four nights. A different size category helped considerably, they were happy and well taken care of. The plus was them saving the first tooth of one while teething to give to me. Would highly recommend and I will be using them again. Five Stars! read more

Camp Bow Wow Temecula - One of my favorite features; viewing your dogs from their camera live to your phone or computer. - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

We were three days into a family vacation when we received a voicemail message from Melissa at Camp Bow Wow indicating concern for our dog "Mini Cooper" who had become lethargic and began to vomit blood. As Melissa was unable to reach us, the decision was made by the team at Camp Bow Wow to take "Coop" to a local Veterinary hospital where he received the necessary emergency care that ultimately saved his life. As "Coop" required continued treatment and the local Veterinary hospital was closing for the day, Camp Bow Wow's owner Lisa personally transported our dog to a 24 hour emergency hospital in Murrieta. She remained with "Coop" at the initial veterinary office, completed the transport and again waited at the hospital in Murrieta until she knew he was in good hands. I recieved several calls both from Melissa at Camp Bow Wow and from Lisa with "Coop". Both kept me well informed of his status until we were able to catch the next flight home. Additionally, they took outstanding care of "Mini Cooper's" sister, who remained at Camp Bow Wow and was alone without her big brother for the first time in her life. Had the team at Camp Bow Wow not made the decision to seek immediate treatment for our dog, he would have succumb to his ultimate diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Our heartfelt thanks to the team at Camp Bow Wow Temecula and strong recommendation should anyone be seeking caring and dependable boarding services. read more

Camp Bow Wow Temecula - "Coop" & "Chlo" - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

Love this place. The staff is extremely friendly and the facility is very clean. I have the iPhone app which gives me the ability to watch my puppy when she's there. The folks that run this place do a great job. I will admit, I was a little obsessed the first time that we left her. I watched the my dog on their app for quite a while. I noticed that there is always someone cleaning. The facility doesn't stink like others we have visited and the front lobby is like a very nice log cabin. My wife and I really like this place. I have utilized their daycare and boarding services. Our little girl is always pooped when we pick her up, which is awesome. As a pet owner who truly loves their animal like a child, I can assure you, these are the people you want watching your dog when you can't. 6 stars! read more

Just based on a phone call I have to say poor service. Website says accepts difficult dogs and trains but we were refused when we explained our puggle was traumatized by a dog attack as a puppy and we needed to board him for a weekend for travel. Very disappointed in the lack of continuity read more

We have been using Camp Bow Wow for nine years. First in Austin, TX for six and here in Temecula for three. They have always taken goid care of my pups. No worries for overnight stays when on vacation. They also offer a home service for pee breaks and leg stretches when I'm working and will be gone for more hours than my pups can handle. Highly recommend them! read more

I can't say enough about the wonderful experiences my miniature labradoodle gets at Camp Bow Wow. I am at the tail end of my Master's programs and if Camp Bow Wow did not care for my lovable pup, I would be heartbroken, distressed and less able to complete my online classes. The staff always gives my pup love and supervision to make his time there a fun filled experience. Whenever I need to board my pup, they reassure me that my fur baby is in good loving hands. I have used them for vacation boarding needs or short stays to give me a good nights rest. This facility is amazing and the owner Lisa and her entire staff care for my pup like a beloved member of their family. Thank you Camp Bow Wow from Zelina and Brunson read more

Very happy with Camp Bow Wow and their care of my dogs. Ive gone for day care only. My pugs are my fur babies and its avery nice, clean place with great staff.

We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow!! They have taken really good care of our Goldendoodle who has been coming since she was 6 months old. She loves coming here to play and end her visit with a bath and grooming. The team is always positive and welcoming of our sweet Belle! Thank you! read more

I would also give a negative star if it was an option. My dog "Family Member" was not only physically harmed, but emotionally hurt as well. I've never seen her act like this. I have no proof she was abused, but she sure acts like she was. However, I do have proof that she was physically hurt, as we have taken het to our vet. She received a steroid shot and will be on antibiotics for the next two weeks. I see several other poor reviews on yelp. Perhaps we should start a class action lawsuit against this abomination of a dog boarding facility and donate any awards to the "Animal Friends of the Valley". read more

I love camp bow wow! The staff is amazing and I know when I leave my baby girl she is going to be loved on and taken care of! The first day (the interview) they make them this super cute binder that says what they did that day and who they played with! It was amazing and so cute! She loves going to camp, we pull up and she gets super excited and starts jumping on my lap like mom let's go!!! It makes me so happy to know she loves it there!!! And can I just say that watching her play on the cameras is awesome and addicting!!! read more

Today was my dogs interview day, and I picked her up within 2 hours of dropping her off. The cameras are available while your dog is there and I kept seeing one dog target my dog and continuously mount her. Each time the person in the area with the dogs did not respond or act on it. I called twice and they said they separated them and gave the dog a break but the dog was still out mounting my dog. Also I was let down by the overall structure. I hear a lot of great things about Camp Bow Wow but all the dogs did was stand in a gated area with a large amount of dogs with little-to no interaction and no toys. It was a very underwhelming experience. read more

We absolutely love camp bow wow! The staff is so friendly and it is very apparent that they love and care for dogs! My sweet girl Kimber loves coming here! She loves it so much she whines in the car as we leave!! I feel confident leaving her here for the day and I love that I can check on her throughout the day! The cameras are always working! Such a great place to send my girl for the day! read more

Our Puppy, Elijah, absolutely loves it there! The staff, trainers, and groomers are wonderful! I am so glad my husband and I found this gem! On his first day, they eased him into meeting all of the other dogs and took such good care of him. Also, they have cameras so you can check in and watch your fur baby play! When I picked Elijah up after his first day, they gave me a folder. Inside it was a cute picture of Elijah and it said "My First Day at Camp Bow Wow!" Soo cute! The folder also had their information and coupons for day care, play and train, boarding, and even a bath! He had his first training session with Kendra and she sent him home with a detailed description on what training they worked on as well as information on how we can work on the training at home. I highly recommend this Camp Bow Wow! Thank you! read more

Camp Bow Wow Temecula - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

This is an update on our poodle "Delaney". She acquired Kennel cough after being boarded at Camp Bow Wow. This is the second time she has developed Kennel cough after being boarded there. She has been boarded there 4 times....2/4 is not good. She has all of her immunizations and is a house dog, goes potty in our yard. She has been to the vet 3 times, today was the third time as she was not responding to the antibiotics that were given the first time. The last two times...including today have been emergency visits as she was and is having labored breathing, no appetite and is lethargic. She had a chest x-ray today and has developed pneumonia from the kennel cough and is on a second antibiotic, If she doesn't start eating by Monday the vet has suggested that she be hospitalized for IV fluids. Please see the first review read more

We have been bringing our Chocolate Lab here once a week for over nine months for all day play day. Never a problem. We set him up for a five day stay while we were on vacation. Two hours after we dropped him off we got a call saying he had a run in with a dog and had to be separated. They separated him from the other dog for about 30 minutes. They then put him back in with the group and he had an incident with a pit bull. They separated our dog and then told us he would not be able to play again. We asked if they would see how he did the next day and they said he was permanently banned from the facility and would not be able to play anymore. The owner was supposed to call us that afternoon but she did not. My wife called at 6:45 pm and talked with the owner Lisa. Lisa said that our dog attacked a Burmese Mountain dog unprovoked ( this was not the case, when we talked to the assistant manager when we returned from our vacation she said that the Burmese was howling which got many of the dogs riled but our dog and the Burmese did get into it a little). No injuries to the Burmese which is contrary to what Lisa told us Monday night. The second altercation with the pit bull did (in the ass't mgr's words) cause some minor wounds but the dog was okay. Out dog was also hurt as he had scratched to his nose and around his eyes. Our dog was put in a pen by himself for the duration of his stay. The other dogs apparently were permitted to play and were not "banned". We paid full boarding and play time for 6 days but did not get what we paid for with no accommodations for lack of playtime. I guess that's why this place makes you pay up front. That way they get their money and to heck with the customer. Very unprofessional. I also asked to have Lisa call me, which of course she didn't. Boarder beware. read more

An amazing doggie day care. Outstanding staff service. I go about my day knowing that my fur baby is in good hands.

Called to set up interview for one dog and explained that the other had beem to a camp bow wow in another state. Lady told me I needed proof from Texas that one dog had already been to a camp bow wow or he would have to interview again. I said reinterview would be fine because I wanted them to stay together. I brought both my dogs to their interview and was informed that i would charged for day care for one dog because he had been at a camp bow wow before. Seriously? ?? I was Disappointed but still left them for the interview. After 3 hours of finding something to do i returned to collect my dogs. Not only were the employees at the desk unfriendly but they also double checked several times to be sure I paid the day care fee. They myst be in serious financial trouble or just plain greedy. I had a couple of issues at a prior camp bow wow but was willing to give them another try. Strike three. read more

***Update*** I did hear back from Melissa who was, during this call, apologetic, and offered to see if they can help with the vet bill which I do appreciate. She stated that she spoke with her staff and no one could recall any sort of incident, but she again acknowledged that this was not acceptable. My trust unfortunately is lost at this point, but I do appreciate the follow up and discussion. We took our sweet girl to Camp Bow Wow for a three night stay over the weekend. When we picked her up, the gal behind the counter told us that she had a great time playing and the only issue was she didn't eat much. We brought her home and we noticed that her collar was frayed and ripped at. It didn't occur to us to think much of it until later we noticed dozens of bite marks all under the sides of her neck. Some where still open, and there were bloody scabs over most. We were horrified. I called the next morning (Monday) and asked to speak with a manager. Melissa took my call and when I described the wounds she proceeded to tell me "Oh, it sounds like rough play". I corrected her to tell her that this was NOT rough play and that this was completely unacceptable. They clearly were not paying attention to the dogs playing in the yards even though they claim to have an employee in each outdoor area. I demanded a better answer than just the BS "rough play" excuse and at this point she became extremely rude and told me she would have to talk with her staff and get back to me. Our sweet girl is on topical and oral antibiotics and needs to follow up with her vet again in a few days. The manager who said she would call me back, still has not gotten back to me! The pictures below are just a few of the dozens of marks on our girl. read more

Reasonable pricing, excellent staff & great service. I hate leaving my dogs but when its vacation time and they need a place to stay, this is their home away from home. I have two dogs and while they hate it when I bring them in (nails in carpet, etc), when its time to pick them up, I always have a hard time bringing them home! Silly boys. They also request that you leave your dogs there for a kind of "test run" prior to leaving them for a longer period of time -- very wise. The place itself is actually hidden amongst the other businesses in the area but once you go inside its so cutely decorated (my jack went crazy at all the scents!). The staff always greets me then greets my boys with a big smile. Its cool because you can even see the dogs playing via webcam! So when I'm in the hotel, I always check up on them on their "vacation". . :) When I leave, I always know they're in great hands. read more

This is the only place we will take our dog to, and it's the only place that our dog is OK with us taking him to. We had a horrible experience with a different doggie camp - when we returned back from a weekend vacation they told us that our dog would not be allowed back and that he was lunging and scaring the workers. Mind you, our dog is a 20 pound Dachshund that wouldn't hurt a fly. What this told me was that they didn't take the time to work with him and make sure he was comfortable during a sometimes scary a stressful time for the dog. Camp Bow Wow exceeded our expectations. Not only did they take the time to work with our frightened pup during the "interview" process, but continue to make sure with each visit that they allow him to adjust without immediately forcing action. Our pup is a rescue who was beaten prior to us adopting him....sometimes he needs a little longer to trust the person who is taking care of him. Each time we return from vacation, our dog Frog has fallen in love with more of the workers. We love watching him on the webcam and seeing him happily wagging his tail. Trust me, this place is the best! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I have a 2 year and 8 month cattle dogs, needless to say my pups are high energy and after their visits to camp they are always tired and well behaved from a day full of playing with their buddies. I have been a patron to Camp Bow Wow and I have used their services for day care, boarding, grooming, and obedience classes for over one year (when I relocated to the area from Colorado) and the staff and the owners all care a great deal for their customers (human and canine.) Some of the Camp's service Superstars are Kendra, Kelsey, Sarah, Yvonne, Melissa, and their trainer Jordan, however all of the staff at camp are amazing and make me and my two pups reassured that they are going to have a safe and great time during their stay at Camp Bow Wow. There was an incident where my 8 month old cattle dog was bit by a pit bull in their facility, the attack was unforeseen and the other dog did not display any aggression towards my dog until the other dog seemed to just snap. - my dog ended up needing to go to the vet and be put on antibiotics. Camp Bow Wow ownership was in the loop the entire time and they were very compassionate regarding the incident and they dismissed the aggressive dog from returning to the camp ever again. Camp Bow Wow paid for the losses with my pup and they kept my business. I did research their competitors and I am certain that Camp Bow Wow's competitors would not have handled the situation as well at the ownership at Camp Bow Wow did. something like this is not usually something you think about until it happens to you and your dog. I greatly appreciate their service and I cannot recommend their services enough. Thank you Camp Bow Wow! read more

We've been taking our standard poodle there for the past two years, since she was about 6 months old to play . We've boarded her there 4 times while in vacation. The last time was about 2 weeks ago. She is currently very ill with kennel cough, this is #2 time she's gotten kennel cough after being boarded there. The first time we just thought it happens and we gave them the benefit of "the doubt. But now it seems 2/4 times...that there is something wrong with the way they manage the feeding/watering , cleaning or general book keeping on making sure all dogs boarded have up to date immunizations. Our sweet standard poodle is very ill, she's been to the vet twice, once an emergency because she was wheezing. She's on medication and still doesn't want to eat. She is fully vaccinated! Now having said all that, the staff are kind and attentive. The owner is as well, but something isn't going right at that site. We boarded our cockapoo for 13 years, every year for family vacations at Country Kennels and not once did he get sick! We chose Camp Bow Wow for Delaney because she went there to play a couple times a week. No more, after Delaney being so sick , again, we will never be back. We are forfeiting already paid for "play days"!!!! read more

Our dog Lily, had an excellent experience at Camp Bow Wow!

My sister and I took our babies here (both under 10 lbs) for evaluations sometime in August, 2012. We were looking for a doggy day care to board our fur babies over Labor Day weekend, as we were going to Las Vegas. Camp Bow Wow in Temecula came highly recommended. After doing some initial research, I was delighted to find out that they have a doggy cam - I'm sure most doggy parents would agree that this is absolutely essential. I called and spoke to a very helpful girl named Yvonne. After talking to Yvonne, we set up an appointment for a FREE evaluation. Basically, this is done to make sure that your dog plays nicely and will not endanger themselves or other campers. Come on, its like free daycare. They keep them for a minimum of 4 hours, but offer to keep them all day at no charge. Anyways, sister and I stopped by a day before the evaluation to fill out the paperwork and to provide all of the necessary documentation (this means vaccination records people). We wanted to be able to just drop off the kids without having to subject everyone to the barking and wailing of my anxious boy while I filled out paperwork in the lobby. On the day of the evaluation, we met the owner upon arrival (I think her name was Lisa?). She was very nice, and it was very obvious how much she loves dogs and how much she loves what she does. This is SO important and helped to put my neurotic sister at ease (it was her first time ever leaving her baby girl at doggy day care). I'm not going to lie when I say that we literally creepster-spied on them through the doggy cam for 4 hours after that. My boy did his usual lay-in-one-corner-and-watch-everyone thing and sister's little girl paced and desperately searched for an escape the entire time. They were exhausted when we picked them up at the end of the evaluation, but this is to be expected. We were provided a little packet consisting of their detailed evaluation report and a certificate of graduation with their photos (so cute!). The staff and owner also gave us little testimonials of how the babies did on their first day of camp. We didn't end up boarding the pups that weekend, but we are SO glad that we had them evaluated there for future needs. We ended up taking our dogs to Las Vegas, but my loud-mouthed boy received a noise complaint at the hotel. Fortunately, there is a Camp Bow Wow in Las Vegas! I only mention this because this location in Temecula did me a HUGE favor by forwarding Momo's evaluation details to the Vegas location last minute and we were able to board him for the remainder of our trip with no problems! Thank you so much!! read more

We took our Bailey there for the first time last month. We were a little nervous about leaving her with someone we didn't know. On my first call in to get information I was very impressed by their process. They don't take just any dog, they have each dog go through an "interview" first. It also put us at ease so we could see how she did before we left town. When we picked her up, we were given her "De-Tails" card with a ton of great notes! She had such a great experience for her first time being boarded. When we took her back that weekend for her overnight stay we enjoyed being able to watch her on the cameras and loved seeing her playing with all the other dogs. We picked her up the next day, she was clean and happy. The staff were amazing and we could tell how Bailey interacted with them that they took very good care of her. We will be regulars of Camp Bow Wow for sure! read more
