| - The west side Camp Bow Wow came highly recommended to me, but since the Henderson one was so much more convenient, I thought it would be just as good. I put in my online request for my dog's interview (you have to take your dog to an 'interview,' which is very inconvenient, yet very understandable for the protection of the staff and other dogs). I received my response via phone, and was told of all the requirements. They obviously require current vaccinations, but they require Bordatella to be within 6 months. I told the person on the phone that everything was current, but that my dog had not had the Bordatella within 6 months, although it was less than a year old. She said he could come to the interview, but that I would have to get another vaccine before he could be boarded. Their website says they do interviews 7 days a week in the morning, but the girl that I talked with stammered and made excuses for why they can't do one on Sunday. I was then told to come in right now (Saturday), and I DID drop everything and go running, I found their location despite the lack of help from the staff, and filled out all the paperwork they asked for, only to be told that my dog's Bordatella would have to be updated BEFORE THE INTERVIEW. This was a huge waste of my time. I don't appreciate having my time wasted because someone can't run their business properly. They are advertising and saying different things, which is a huge red flag.
When I came home and got started on this review, I began watching the video footage (Camper Cam), and did see dogs get sprayed in the face with water for no reason. As my dog is afraid of water, he would have been cowering in the corner, too, as I saw in some of the other reviews. I could leave my dog with a friend or neighbor, but I wanted him to be there to have fun with other dogs. The employees just look like they're pacing. There is no interaction with the dogs, nor encouraged play... and not a single ball or toy.
