    Staff is really nice. I liked the report card my dog got after her stay because I was aware of how she did.

    Drove down to Durango, with my dad, from Denver, to ride the train. Made a reservation the week…read morebefore and it was super easy to book my pup. We dropped Smaxwell off at 7:30 with a very friendly young lady who explained everything to us and told us about posting pics on Facebook. We were a tad late picking him up because the train was running behind but they said it wasn't a problem and we got him just in the nick of time. They even allow dogs to spend the night, if the train is late, free of charge!! Since I don't speak dog I can't 100% say how Smax enjoyed himself but he seemed tuckered our and happy to see me at the end of a long day of playing! I highly recommend this place for pups because they are very affordable, friendly staff, and located right down the street from the train!

    I had an extremely upsetting experience at this boarding facility.

When I arrived, she was not in the location I was told she would be. When I walked into the area, her kennel was empty -- and the only other kennel was wide open and empty as well. In that moment, I genuinely thought my dog had been stolen. No staff member was present, no signage, no explanation. I had no way of knowing whether another dog had already been picked up and mine taken with them. I stood there panicked, thinking the worst. Only later was I told that there was never another dog in that second kennel. But how was I supposed to know that when both kennels were empty and no one was there to help? The lack of communication and the careless setup caused unnecessary fear and distress. My dog was eventually located, but this experience was unacceptable. Clear communication and secure, supervised pickup procedures are basic expectations for any boarding facility. This place failed to meet them.

    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.

    My dog no longer lets me pet him after his boarding at Camp Bow Wow…read more He is now verbally reactive to my touch whereas we were able to spend literal hours cuddling and petting. I cannot sit next to him without him leaving to go to his bed He still loves his dog mom, but does not trust me anymore. I'm extremely disappointed.
