| - Do I think Camp Bow Wow "abuses" dogs? Well, "No". Inadvertently, perhaps. Certinally the staff feel confident their handling of the dogs which they attend to are in excellent care. Again, perhaps. However, please see for yourself before dropping your loved ones off for a week or even a day. I encourage you to download Camp Bow Wows app before you decide.
My wife was going on vacation. Trying to consider my long hours at work she took it upon herself to book our two dogs at the Westlake Ohio location. Unfortunately , she failed to do her homework. So, I decided to watch the live feed to see if my dogs were okay. After two days of watching twenty plus dogs in a "bull-pin" type in closed area with a small outside area which didn't offer any real grass or enough room to run, excersise , or simply play. I also noticed there were no toys. As I continued to watch, there was no human interaction. Family pets obviously need human interaction. The dogs were not being walked nor were they being taken outside for bathroom breaks and probably because it is easier to mop a tiled floor opposed to cleaning artificial grass carpet. Also, I noticed one of the male staff members was sitting on this small landing of sorts in the center of the room. As the dogs were coming over to him for attention he would bat them away. This recording was on 7 /24/17 in the small pet area. These dogs sit in this room within an open warehouse. The "bull-pins" are sectioned off into groups of size and or tempermant as far as I understood. These dogs sit in this room by the door waiting within an atmosphere of very loud constant barking.
In my opinion, this place isn't good. I felt sorry for the dogs there when I nearly sped as fast as I could to rescue my two boys. After two days of watching the live feed, it was all I could take. Ask yourself. " How can you expect your bet to rest without nervousness amongst constant loud barking. Camp Bow Wow distracts the reality as they use "Camp" as well as their "cute" play on words relating to "k9', pet, dog and puppy. Notice when the dogs are out of the "bull-pins". There will be a memo stating the dogs are asleep from a busy day. Really? Your dog doesn't need a "Camp". They need attention, human interaction, behavioral enforcement, bathroom breaks, walks. Most of all, "A family setting".
Watch for yourself on Camp Bow Wows live feed. In my opinion. It is sad.
