Literally don't use this daycare before reading the negative reviews, they're all so on point about…read morethis awful place. Just so dog+cat owners know, staff here get paid $15/hour+unpaid breaks (Supervisors: $17.50 ish or some crap) to take care of 20-30 dogs at once, hopefully even just that can tell you about the quality of care going on and the ability of staff to truly be taking care of your babies. Bowdog doesn't give a crap about their staff and they don't give a crap about your dogs. Also if you think you know anything about how your dog is being taken care of/ what they got up to every day etc based on the people at the front desk, well guess what? They literally have no contact with your pets other than when they check in and out, which I'm 99% sure they do so that the people working with the dogs in the back can't "poach" their clientele. (With the exception of supervisors) The people taking care of your dogs have essentially zero contact with you the client. The employee turn around on this place honestly I think is higher/faster than mc'donalds, so like no one is trained well or treated well, and we all know how that can impact animals, especially extreme empaths like dogs. There is an overall lack of intentional care for the dogs (daycare dogs don't go outside all day unless it's summer, they all hang out in a large square pen without any furniture/fun obstacle things, and just go to the bathroom on the floor [sometimes there's 1-2 plastic jungle gym things that like 2 big dogs can hang out on and like 5 tiny dogs], dogs that aren't having a good time (shaking/hiding, or upset by other dogs or all the noise etc) either are just left like that in group or put in a kennel all day, "PC" dogs (personal care: for dogs who can't be around other dogs) are put into individual pens and ditched there most of the day, sometimes they get some attention and sometimes they don't (would depend who was working/paying attention) And the boarding side I seriously would never use unless it was a last resort, probably 1000 times more stressful for a dog than being kept in a kennel at home, even if you only had someone taking them out 1-2 times a day.

Our dog Cara attended day care here and thanks to the team's neglect and lack of care, she ended up…read morewith significant and painful burns on her paws. Cara is about a year and a half old, energetic, loving and excitable husky mix (rescue) and they left her outside on hot gravel for almost FIVE straight hours in near 30-degree weather. We had to take her to the vet to get her emergency care and thanks to the prolonged exposure to the heat and the chemicals in the yard, she was in significant pain and discomfort. Now she's on a lengthy round of pain killers, steroids, antibiotics and daily antiseptic foot baths and lotions. She can't go out to walk or play and she's miserable. For a beautifully good-natured dog to go through this (or any dog!) is heartbreaking. We contacted Black Collar Society to explain what happened and their answer was "she had the freedom to come inside if she chose to". What?! They're suggesting that a a dog who is still pretty much a puppy, regulate herself in 30-degree heat? That's like giving a child unlimited access to junk food and thinking "yeah, they'll stop when they've had enough". Some decisions cannot be left to be made by those incapable of making them. Why let them outside, unmonitored on hot gravel for prolonged periods in the first place? Why wouldn't they ensure that the dogs in their "care" are not PUT in a position to experience pain and discomfort in the first place? When asked how many people tend to the dogs, they didn't answer. There seems to be no system to monitor the dogs either. Surely someone would have noticed this dog was outside for five straight hours and didn't come in? The daycare that Cara usually attends (and what a mistake it was to go elsewhere, but they were really booked up) monitors the dogs, they bring them in and out, they CARE for them while they're there. They have grass in the yard. They don't just leave them to their own devices and expect that dog will make the right choice for their own welfare. I wouldn't recommend this kennel to anyone for any reason. Incredibly disappointing.

What a great vibe! There is a culture and I truly feel like these people love and care for our…read morefurry friends like they would their own. Good people running a top notch operation!

I have been using Bow Wow & Meow for almost seven years and would highly recommend, she is very…read moreloving and caring and my dog (beagle) loves to go to the park. I hired Silvana one week after I got my dog as a puppy (10 weeks), she came in each day to give him lunch and take him for a pee break around noon. As he got older he would go to the off-leash park with her but on a very long led until he had good recall (he is a beagle and his nose could have gotten him into trouble) and he came when called. Silvana is very caring and treats the dogs as if they were her own which is great because my dog is more like my child then a pet, just ask anyone that knows me. It is like having a child in daycare each day I get a note telling me about his outing. Sometimes we see her in the off-leash park on the weekend and my dog has to think about whether he is going to come with me or go with her he loves her also. If you are looking for someone that really cares about the well being of your pet (fur baby) I would truly recommend Bow Wow & Meow.
