Camp Bow Wow Tulsa

We have had a wonderful experience during my dogs interview! The staff was very friendly and helpful! My dog seemed to really have a good time and we are excited for her overnight stay coming up soon!

Yep — Bow Wow is still my favorite place to take my pups. Here is a reason why: Saturday, they had a tent on the Guthrie Green for Rock-​n-​Rescue. The table was being manned by Erin, who is a former camp counselor and was volunteering that day at the Bow Wow tent. As we approached, she had a pleasant look on her face and said hello, but you could tell she had no idea who we were. Then, she saw the dogs. She recognized them right away and immediately called them by name. This sort of attention and commitment to our dogs is what I love about Bow Wow. They probably have 100 black and chocolate labs stay in a given year, but their counselors always recognize Kelso and Lucy. The owner, Amy, is wonderful. She took her dogs to a Camp Bow Wow in Dallas when she lived there and was so impressed with the company that she now owns two locations in the Tulsa Metro area. Our dogs still come home from Camp exhausted, and cranky that they didn’t get to stay longer. As a committed pet parent (or crazy dog lady), I really can’t stress how well they will take care of your furry four-​legged babies!

Thanks to Amanda S’s recommendation of Camp Bow Wow, Olof has a new place to rest his sweet head when Colin and I are out of town! When we inquired about Olof staying for an overnight someone quickly e-​mailed us. They asked for Olof’s shot records to ensure he had the appropriate vaccinations and requested we come in for an interview.
… I don’t have kids yet who might have to go through kindergarten interviews, etc., but I felt like I was somewhat trained for it by this! Olof got a last minute bath the night before and we went on a long walk. Of course, Olof nailed the ‘interview’ with shaking hands and raising his signature eyebrows. Even though it was mentioned he’s totally good to go, I had to leave him there for at least three hours that afternoon to hangout with the other dogs.
The following morning we dropped him off at 9AM for an overnight. For $ 32 dollars he was given time to play with other dogs (dog park style,) food, and a large cage with a bed for him. We didn’t have to bring anything but our sweet boy.
The only thing that was a bit stressful was that we absolutely had to be there at 6PM the following day to pick him up or he’d have to stay another night. I sacrificed a bathroom break on our road trip back to make it by 5:58PM.
Best part? There is a live feed of cameras so you can see your dog on your phone or computer whenever you want!

Speaking in terms as a play date for my dogs, I wasn’t impressed with the facilities at all. The area where the dogs play is really small and they shut down in the middle of the day. The dogs are put in kennels during the time they are shut down. I feel like I am paying for my dogs to have play time and they are stuck in an area smaller than their own yard and have to be in a kennel during part of the day. What’s the point?
The staff seemed friendly enough but I didn’t feel my dogs were getting enough bang for my bucks.
