Camp Bow Wow Columbia, SC

If you have a legal dispute, you lose the ability to resolve that matter in a court of law, because the company has decided to view all of its customers as potential litigants. Customers are forced to waive their legal rights by signing the agreement contract. The waiver release & indemnification sections release the company from all liability, including any duty to protect your dog, & deprives you of any legal action to seek justice should harm occur.

Unfortunately, my dog will never experience Camp Bow Wow. I called to gather information on scheduling an interview and on the boarding process and the man who answered the phone was probably one of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. Though we had a more complex situation, I was calling to see what was possible and was met with arrogance and a very dismissive attitude. Perhaps he was just having a bad day, but the customer service was so terrible that we decided to look elsewhere.

I like to bring my dog here for Daycare, but have had bad boarding experiences. I’m sure it meets some peoples needs, but I did not feel that my dog got enough (if any) individualized attention while she was there for a week. Maybe it is because it is such a big company and there are always a lot of dogs there? Regardless, I will be boarding my dog elsewhere from now on.

I want to start with saying this is a review based solely on my experience which may be different from others. I also want to say the staff is good and pleasant but our two experiences here have left us disillusioned.
It may be our dog as she is a 1 year old pup in very good health who does well with other dogs but the first time we left her here she came back home with the worst kennel cough ever. I notified them and apparently my dog was the only one that had gotten sick. We bought a package for 10 nights and left her a second time for 5 days. We picked her up and again with kennel cough. 2 weeks have gone by and she now has warts between all her toes on her paws. I work from home so my dog really isn’t in contact with a lot of other dogs but she has been to dog parks a good number of times and around other family dogs.
My conclusion is that while they are a great reliable place for dogs with established immune systems if you have a pup you may want somewhere where they care for fewer dogs. they may take in too many pets to control contagious diseases. They can only clean so often and the camera was a great plus.

I really really like this boarder. We have two dogs that have boundless amounts of energy, and they always come home tired after even a day or two here.
The staff is very friendly, courteous, and they love dogs. I know that should be the norm at a kennel, but it seems that some places just hire anyone, and then animals get sick because no-​one cares for them properly. They even let my two dogs stay in the same kennel so they are more comfortable, and let us bring them a blanket from home as well.
A final fun thing, though by no means necessary, is you can watch your dogs from your phone most of the day via webcam. My wife absolutely loves this, and it is a nice ‘extra’ to have when you’re across the country and want to check in on the pups.
Also, they offer a military discount of 10%.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. I’m not sure who loves this place more– my dog or me. Even though I am protective over my dog, I have no worries when I leave her here… for daycare or boarding. The staff is very friendly and always go the extra mile to ensure the best care for my dog. When we get about a block from CBW, my dog will run around the car because she is so excited to play all day. I can’t ever get her out of the car fast enough as she pulls me towards the door that I have to jog. When I pick her up, she is very tired but very happy. Can’t say enough good things about this place or the staff. Very lucky to have found this place for my dog.

I love this place almost as much as my dog does! The staff and owners go above and beyond to make sure both humans and pups are happy. My dog-​who is glued to my side most the time-​will run in the door at Camp Bow Wow! I can tell a positive difference in my dog from the socialization and play time she has at CBW. I hate to leave her, but when I have to overnight, I only leave my dog here, and by taking her as often as I can for day camp, I have found she is a happier girl.
I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow for dog owners in the Columbia area.
