Camp Bow Wow

We have used Camp Bow Wow on Cherokee many times since we moved to Denver. It’s hard to find someone you trust and by using the reviews in Unilocal we were able to gain confidence in trusting them with our baby.
Before dogs are allowed they do an «interview» to make sure they play well with others and it is a good fit. I appreciate that so much that they take the time to make sure all «campers» will get along with other dogs.
The staff is so friendly and the instant we walk in the door they try to comfort our dog and instantly call her by name. They all seem to know her which goes a long way in my book. Also we like the dog cams to see our baby when we are gone. I find comfort in seeing her on my phone no matter where in the world I am.
Their prices are very reasonable and they are also so good at making sure that our dog gets the right medicines at the right time. In fact, one time we forgot a medicine and they called within a few minutes of us leaving her to make sure she had it.
They are a class act I highly recommend them!

I love camp bow wow! I use their day care and it’s both reasonably priced and an amazing service. The staff are great, friendly, and really love animals. They made my very large and very timid dog feel right at home, and put my mind at ease when I was nervous about leaving her for the day. I couldn’t even get her through the door at other day cares but after a minute with Daniel, she was back in the play area having a great time with other dogs, and now she runs through the door with her tail wagging. They also give naps, snacks, and byo lunch to the dogs, if requested/​needed. And the dog cams are an added bonus!

I can’t speak highly enough about this place. I am a crazy dog owner and my rescue, Lou, was fearful around other big dogs. I found out about Bow Wow from the woman who adopted one of Lou’s pups from Paws CO. The whole team at Camp Bow Wow have taken her in, treated her with such love and compassion. I can’t thank them enough. Lou now loves to go and wags her tail when we arrive and walks right in and ready to go play. The team (which is amazing btw) there always reports to me at the end of the day on how her behavior was which I so appreciate. I can’t say enough good things about this place and I feel so lucky to have had Bow Wow on Cherokee recommend to me.

We absolutely LOVED the newest Camp Bow Wow on Abilene in Aurora, so when we moved to central Denver and needed doggie day care for the weekend we immediately thought to transfer to the Cherokee St location which is very close to our new abode. Buyer beware… all Camp Bow Wows are not the same. This facility was polar opposite of the the one in Aurora. We just didn’t feel the love or «warm fuzzies» from the staff here like we did from the family owned facility in Aurora. Ugh. I’m sure our dogs were well cared for; however, I did not notice that this location’s hours include a 5 hour kenneling period without personal contact from 11a-​4p on weekend days, which for us was the two days we kenneled our doggies. Not too happy about that and it was only called to my attention as I dropped them off for the weekend. Too late to change facilities. Probably won’t be back to this Camp Bow Wow. And we’re sorry that the Aurora facility is so far out of the way for us now.

My dogs stayed here twice. The employees are very nice and seem to treat the dogs well. BUT on their second 4-​day stay, they both came home with kennel cough. I spent $ 250 at the emergency vet (on a weekend of course) as one of my dogs was throwing up for an entire day. Now both are hacking all over the place. They are on the mend, but we won’t be returning.

It’s hard being a dog owner in an apartment. Although I have an active life style when I am not working; Monday through Friday can be tough of my pup.
Camp Bow Wow has been our answer! I absolutely LOVE this place! The price is reasonable, actually equal to what I was about to start paying for a dog walker (for 1 30 minute walk a day). Camp Bow Wow has huge CLEAN play yards and other dogs to help keep mine social. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they know her by name and have even taught her a few commands.
I know my dog loves going there because as soon as we pull into the lot she is hopping around with excitement. This place has been a life saver.

The staff I talked to clearly care about and know the dogs that visit, I love the cameras to check on my pups during the day, and it made me happy to come to a business where lgbt customers are welcomed.

We have a Great Dane and have tried several doggy day cares and none of them come even close to how wonderful Camp Bow Wow Central is! They are so good with our dog and he is always so excited to go to day care. Highly recommend! Wonderful staff and great customer service!

I have only been at Camp Bow Wow Denver a short time and when I drop off my lil pup, he is so excited to be in a place that gives him the attention and love he needs while I am away. I have had some requests and they have never once asked why they just simply say, «Absolutely we will do that!!» I feel as if I am taking my pup to a family members home that’s how much love and attention is there. I definitely recommend Camp Bow Wow Denver for all your needs!!!

My two pups just got back from their first day at camp. They clearly loved every minute! The owner was there in the morning, it’s was great to see that she was invested in the business and well being of the dogs. Kaitlyn the manager was extremely helpful when I picked up the boys. She answered all my questions so that I could better understand how the daily activities are run. So far, 1 day in. The establishment seems great: clean, friendly, caring.
Today was the interview process where you drop your dogs off to make sure they get along with the others. Two great things about it 1). It’s free and 2.) you are able to watch your dogs on the puppy cam online to make sure they are socializing well.
I am very happy with my first day here. I have taken my dogs to other day cars and so far all have been pretty good, but what’s so great about this camp is: convenience; right off the highway, competitive pricing, hours of operation, bathing and nail trimming, bordatella vaccine on site, and being able to check up on your pups throughout the day.
Highly recommended spot for all pups!

GREAT staff, convenient location. hands down the best doggie daycare I’ve ever taken my dog to and he loves it there.

My pup loves Camp Bow Wow-​he starts Unilocaling in the car when we get close because he can’t wait to go play. The staff is friendly, they really love dogs, and I like that there’s lots of outdoor and indoor space for the dogs to run around. Great location and affordable.

April and her team of camp counselors are wonderful.
My partner and I adopted a 4 year old Aussie Cattle Dog who had not been socialized with other dogs. He is great with humans but nippy with other dogs. April took him into another pen to slowly introduce him to another dog who is well-​mannered. And he did great!
We have been bringing him here for daycare for the past month and he’s made new friends! And now taking him on walks are easy and carefree than fearing that he will growl at another dog.
I would highly recommend April and her team! They keep you up to date on any behavioral changes and possible concerns (i.e. he doesn’t like baths!).
Thanks April and Camp Bow Wow Team!

We love camp bow wow and have been using them for at least 2 years about 2 times a month-​sometimes less in the nicer months when they get walked a lot. My dogs come home exhausted and dont want anything to do with us for a couple days! (its great when you have a 90 lbs yellow lab who thinks he’s a lap dog!) We also have a pug that goes to camp. We are not snotty dog people and get over sensitive about our dogs getting dirty in the gravel or hurting their feet on it. The dogs play all day and have never come home hurt or seem anything but THRILLED when we take them back each time. We will be coming to camp for a long time to come.

Bummer, I thought I was going to fall in love with this place solely for the name alone – Camp Bow Wow – how fun is that? I went off the reviews on here along with friends who have been to other Camp Bow Wow locations and thought it was going to be a stellar experience with workers with tons of enthusiasm. I spoke with one woman on the phone (I wanna say her name was Shelley?) about boarding my little poodle-​chihuahua mix and she gave me the low down on the process and said he had to come in for an «interview» that would last a couple of hours, mostly to see how he socialized with other dogs. I dropped him off before going to work and they said I could leave him there all day free of charge which I thought was pretty cool of them. They said there weren’t a lot of small dogs coming in that day which bummed me out since I wanted him to play with other pups his size and the play area where they play is rocks which irritated his paws (may be good for bigger dogs but maybe reconsider for the smaller ones). The setting plays well into the area it’s in, which is industrial so it was a little too tough and gruff for my liking, but maybe to others that doesn’t matter.
He passed his interview, the two people working there were friendly enough but didn’t ask if I wanted to proceed with boarding. So I asked them to book an appointment for a weekend. I couldn’t view their puppy cam while I was gone (I was looking forward to this because – hello – puppies!!!) and when I picked him up the girl didn’t say he did well, had fun or whatever. It was my first time boarding then and I would have liked some information but it just like homegirl was more preoccupied with cleaning and getting out of there. She didn’t thank me for coming in or anything, just gave me my dog, charged my card and that was that. I will not be coming back here.

Just wanted to drop back in as promised with an update now that I’ve been to a few other places. This place is, hands-​down, the best doggie day care facility that either of my pups have visited.
The staff are great, and know both dogs by name. They truly know the dogs’ personalities, and always seem to be corraling the dogs around so that the «right» dogs are playing with each other.
Our dogs always get excited at drop-​off time, and are always tired from full play days when we pick them up (which makes us happy parents!). They seem to love it here.
My only complaints are minor: I still hate the pea gravel that makes the dogs dusty, and the evening staff aren’t quite as «into it» as the morning staff. But all in all, this is a great facility.
Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!

This is THE BEST DAYCARE AROUND. Our dog is really the judge, when we go to other daycares she doesn’t get nearly as excited to run trough the door as she does when we drive Down to bow wow central. They LOVE dogs and they are great with them. Great staff. We love these guys!

My dog Daisy has been going to CBW Central for over 6 yrs. She does wonderful at camp and loves ALL of the employees. Not only are they wonderful to my dog they also help out with a rescue group I volunteer with.
We have never had a bad experience at CBW. Apryl and her staff are ALWAYS friendly and take great care of Daisy. Thanks CBW Central!!!

We just picked up our dog Kona (year old lab/​border collie mix) from his first-​ever weekend boarding experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful… especially when our flight was delayed and he had to stay one more night unexpectedly. Cam Bow Wow came highly recommended to me by a coworker and I am so glad we’ve found a trustworthy place in Denver.
The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of anyone. I had to call twice to speak with someone live when we were exploring our options.

I’m sure these people love dogs and take really good care of the animals, but this has GOT to be the most unprofessionally run business I’ve run across in a while.
To make a long story short, they leave a ditzy 18 year old girl in charge who screwed up my reservation and then LIED to the manager about it and blamed me. However, what surprised me more is that they took her word over mine and I ended up with no boarding reservation after making one weeks in advance. I was beyond furious and stuck scrambling around trying to find a place to board my dogs…
Not to mention my friend was fired from here because one of the other employees (another 18 year old) forgot to call her and tell her she needed her to come into work and cover a shift and then blamed her when she didn’t show up…
bottom line: The management here is extremely questionable, rude and will do anything they can to save their own ass, even if that means screwing over their customers and even fellow employees!
