Camp Bow Wow Cary

I am not a fan of this place in the least. My dog was not new to the daycare experience. That being said, she needed some interaction encouragement from the staffer inside the small dog pen, due to the change in environment and new circle of potential pup friends. I voiced my concerns to various staff during our three visits, both in-​person and via phone. Everything was sweetness and light to my face, yet the play-​area doggie cam did not lie. «Who’s your dog again?» was a constant refrain when I called. My dog just sat by the gate, and sat. And sat. The staffer who constantly circled the play area never interacted with my dog, despite my numerous requests. I saw him immediately after one telephone call interacting with two other white dogs, but neither of them was mine. There she sat by thevgate. Another dog relieved himself near mine, the staffer retrieved a wet mop, then left the mop inside the play area. Some staffer (s) arbitrarily elected not to nap my dog on that third day to «help her integrate», despite my lengthy submitted application that clearly stated that she needed her naps. There she sat by the gate.
I contrarily responded to an email from the male owner, Neil Bleau, requesting me to Unilocal and Google+ a favorable review for his business. Sadly but expectedly, he did not possess the courtesy to personally respond. I played phone and email tag with «Summer» who I later discovered to be an owner, but grew weary of leaving messages and being told she was not there when I called back.
I have happily secured another daycamp option for my dog. Certainly Camp Bow Wow Cary will not falter under this one review, as the place appears packed on the doggie cams. I do encourage dog owners to be conscientious and to not assume everything is fine and dandy because there are play-​area cameras.

Sad that the corporate restrictions are so inflexible. We are planning a lengthy road trip with our dog and their restriction of a full days interview before accepting a boarding schedule seems very anti travel. Obviously a great place for locals. They were kind enough to suggest a competing location they heard that does not have the same restrictions.

We just moved from a large major city, and after spending a day looking at every conceivable daycare option for our 2 Basset Hounds, this is the place for us! It is clean, the staff is attentive, and the facility is excellent. Would highly recommend!

I just took my furry child in yesterday for the initial interview and I was so impressed! First off, I was late because of the road construction on Cary Pkwy and I couldn’t find my way. I called and the girl gave me spot-​on directions and I made it there only 5 mins late. They were so friendly and informative and my puppy seemed so at ease. They even call all the dogs «campers» which is just adorable! I left her there for 6 hours and she slept the entire night when she got home! Heck, I may drop her off there everyday as long as it helps with her energy level ;) I’m so anxious to try the daycare and overnight boarding with her! I also love the fact they give you a «report card». Such a cute little touch! So far, great first impression! :)

I have two big dogs, a Dalmatian and a lab mix, whom are like family. I used to dread taking them to what I’ll call a «chain doggy hotel» [we’ll go into that one in another review]. I stumbled across Camp Bow Wow by accident. What a great find! My husband and I have been using this place for years. First, the staff that work here are «dog people.» They’re friendly and take an interest in the care of our doggies. Also, the facility is always clean. I love that while we’re away we can watch our dogs play from our computer during the day & when we return to get them we get a report card discussing our doggies activities. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Our pups are regulars at Camp Bow-​Wow. We have used Camp Bow-​wow for boarding overnight, daylong visits while at work and for grooming. Facility is clean, staff friendly and the price is right.
I like that I can check them out on one of the many web cams that are accessible from their website.

I was not impressed with this place at all. While the guy at the desk that showed me around was okay, the facility past the desk where they keep and let the dogs play was very smelly!
They keep all the cages for boarding right along side with the play area for the dogs. And while they claim that they have 4 outdoor play areas, it’s more like 4 small patios to just let the dogs relieve themselves. So don’t be fooled. There isn’t a huge outdoor fenced in area that they can run around in… and no one is supervising them when they come inside and outside… since they can walk in/​out as they please. The doors are always open and separated by plastic slates. And for the dogs that choose never to go outside to relieve themselves, they do it inside. Lovely. No wonder it smells in there… and the dogs are subjected to that while they nap/​sleep since the cages are right next to the play area.
Oh, and no one is on-​site at nights while your dog is sleeping… they only monitor through web-​cam/​security system. Not a fan of that at all… will be researching other boarding options.
