Camp Bow Wow Midland Park

Staff is very friendly. I am able to watch during the day via webcam, and there is always a counselor with the dogs — monitoring and interacting. My dog is with the big ones — and the group looks very friendly, social and interactive. Hours are excellent — 6:30 to 7PM — seems to the best of all the local day cares (which I need on occasion due to work). Drop off and pick up are easy and quick. Ray was at ½ day camp two times this week and came home tired and happy. I could see how he interacts and goes all day — he really has fun when he’s there.

I am so grateful for Camp Bow Wow. Our two small dogs just love it. The staff couldn’t be nicer or more professional. They truly love our dogs. I feel completely care free leaving them there knowing they are going to be safe. I just wish they were open Sunday’s for daycare! Otherwise, I can’t say enough great things about this place for daycare and boarding. THE BEST.

My dog has been going to day care at the Midland Park location, since she’s 6 months old and she’s now 5 years old. My husband and I occasionally talk about taking her some place else that’s cheaper or closer, but we always come back to Midland Park. The reason is clear; when we went on vacation for 2 weeks, we boarded our dog at MP, and when we returned, our Pup was her usual happy self. We found out that one of the managers knew my dog liked to play ball and every so often, would take her to one of the suites and play with her. We didn’t pay extra, this was something the manager did on her own. The place is spotless, the staff is kind and respectful. Most of all the owner, Mike, is hands on and available with any questions or concerns. We couldn’t recommend this place enough. We give Midland Park 5 paws up.

First class all the way and excellent and excellent caring staff. Clean facility with lots to do for the dogs — I think mine prefers it there! Can’t say enough positive here — highly recommended.

The camp itself is good. This review is more for the groomer that is at this camp in Midland Park that I wouldn’t bring my 7 month old dog to again. The camp I would.
He was groomed 2 days before neutering, just a bath and ear cleaning, nails. No haircut.
When I went to pick him up the bill was 62.00 which isn’t the issue. It was the note that came with the pickup from the groomer stating that my dog was «100% matted». Yes 100% matted and needed to be «shaved down completely», nothing else would do, haircut wouldn’t do it. I was also given a sheet on the care of my type of dog which said about brushing (which we do) and going to groomer (which he has one but did this one since he goes to the camp and wanted to try it)
I called the following day talking to ‘camp counselor’, saying he does get groomed every month to 6 weeks and I didn’t know he was matted. I was told he would need to get shaved down (again) but to wait after the neutering since it would be too stressful. Well, thank goodness I did.
We went to get neutered and I mentioned about mats to the vet since he would be under anesthesia anyway. Picked him up later that day, was told he has NO mats at all by the VET.
It is is fur that is very curly underneath. Which I knew it was curly and really never felt any mats with hands or brush. So having to wait after stitches are removed to be bathed. I waited 3 weeks and bought him to our regular groomer. I did NOT let them know he was somewhere else. They charged the same amount (62.00) He had a haircut, bath, nails, ears, trim face and was told when I picked him up that he has absolutely no mats in his fur. To keep up what we are doing with regular brushing.
I had noticed from photos of dogs being groomed there that some were being shaved all the way down. I don’t think this groomer is a great groomer or is a real groomer for that matter.
As for the camp, my puppy loves going and making friends with other dogs. He is always happy going there.

I would NEVER recommend this place. It is small, overcrowded & they had no idea how many dogs they had on my visit day. It was complete awful v

I love that the dogs come back happy and I can watch the Web Cam from Mexico. I like to check it 2x per day as when I see them I feel better. Wish the picture was a little bigger and more colorful. Also, love that you have a pen with a fence and have different size areas for each size dog. Since, my Shih-​Tzu eats anything she finds I like that you don’t use GRAVEL. I couldn’t leave my dogs in a place with gravel, only a grass or grass type surface works for us. I like everything but, going away becomes very costly when you have 2 dogs, although your prices are comparable and the staff is very good with my girls. See you guys on our next vacation or maybe a day trip. Thanks.

These guys are just terrific. The ONLY place my Koda actually runs into vs runs away from when we first arrive. Great to be able to see my dog running around and playing on the live cams even though we may be many miles away. Only suggestion would be to work on the webcam app in that it freezes or is unavailable more often than not.
Again, my dog and I love this place and actually feels like he’s going to a camp vs some lousy boarding facility.

I recently brought my puppy in for an interview. They are so nice. They are caring and very informative. They really took the time to make sure we were comfortable. They have an in depth process to make sure quality dogs are brought in only. It is a clean facility. The best part is being able to check on my pup anytime I want via their cameras on the website. Thank you camp bow wow

I would be careful before boarding your pet here. We left our dog for 2 days and picked him up with no mention of incident from the staff. Once we got home I noticed a gash on the side of his face as if he had been bitten, and he had dry feces all over his bottom. I understand that accidents can occur — but for them to not mention anything to me about such an obvious incident tells me that they are either not paying attention or don’t care. They seem to have a lot of dogs to deal with — maybe too many.

I’ve brought my Jack Russell terrier to a number of Camp Bow Wow locations, and this one is easily our favorite. Staff is warm and welcoming and seem to truly be animal lovers. Mike (the owner, I think) and Jen in particular went out of their way to welcome us, and always take great care of our dog. The entire staff also listens closely to any specific requests we have (medication, feeding times, etc.) Staff to dog ratio seems adequate, and the webcams are FANTASTIC for watching your pet from home!
PROS: Webcams are great for checking in with your pet; staff here is friendly and caring
CONS: None.
TIPS: If you are boarding overnight, try to reserve early as this location seems to fill up the quickest! It’s no wonder, as they are the most attentive and friendliest location (IMO).
