Lolo loves going to Camp Bow Wow
Lolo loves going to Camp Bow Wow. These days, we mostly take him there for boarding since we work from home. The staff are fantastic and they all know him well. Like any business, staff members come and go, but there’s always someone there who has known Lolo since he first started attending in 2020. We know he’s getting great care whenever he’s there. He sleeps like a baby for the next 24 hours after camp.

Christi Lingard
A lovely doggy daycare
Camp Bow Wow is a lovely doggy daycare, and our dogs are always excited to visit! They always take such great care of our fur babies. We love being able to watch the dogs on the webcams, especially when it’s a longer stay. :)
Anje Barnard
The team at Camp Bow Wow were great!
The team at Camp Bow Wow were great! Our dog is a recently adopted rescue with some issues that we’re still working through, and they worked with us to ensure that our dog had a great stay. 100% we’ll be using again. Thank you for providing such great care!
Nick Barr
John, Maureen and their staff are wonderful
The moment I say "school" to my Shih Tzu-ish pup, she's ready to go. At the front door ready to go. John, Maureen and their staff are wonderful. Great place!!
Janice Kanasevich
Camp Bow Wow Is Like Family
Camp Bow Wow is like family for us and our furbaby, Daisy. We know she is in the best hands when she is there and she loves going to see all her best doggie pals. She always comes home happy and tuckered out from her days there. We highly recommend sending your dog to Camp Bow Wow!
Kim Irwin
Professionalism and Kindness
We appreciate the professionalism and kindness of all the people at Camp Bow Wow. They love your pet almost as much as you do. I know my dog will be safe and have fun when he gets dropped off there.
Val Lahaie
We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow!
We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! Our Bernedoodle, Walter, has the best time there. The moment we ask him, “Do you want to go see your friends?” he gets so excited it’s honestly the highlight of his day. Walter has made a bunch of doggy friends, and it’s clear he’s not just being watched, he’s genuinely having fun and thriving in that environment. The staff are all amazing and treat him so well. You can tell they truly care about the dogs in their care. For us, it’s been a total lifesaver. There’s such peace of mind knowing he’s safe, well looked after, and having the time of his life while we’re busy. Highly recommend to any dog owner looking for a place they can trust! Thanks🤗 Sandy & Heather
Heather Robichaud Beach
We Have Such Great People Taking Care of Our Dogs
Our two dogs have been going to Camp Bow Wow for many years. We are so thankful we have such great people taking care of our dogs while we are away. John and Maureen treat our dogs like their own. We are able to watch them on the cameras, which we love. The dogs sleep for days when they get home.
Tammy DiPersio

Millie loves Camp Bow Wow. She knows as soon as we are driving down the hill, and she gets so excited; the staff treat her so well, and she enjoys her days there.
Heather Hutt
She loves to go
My dog has been going to Camp Bow Wow for almost 8 years. She loves to go, the staff treat her so well and are very friendly.
Nick Langley
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog Casey
Dear Camp Bow Wow, Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog Casey while we were on vacation. We picked him up this morning, and it was so lovely to see him so clean. I love the "complimentary bath." Thank you also for washing his pillow and the towel that he had with him. I am super grateful for the care he received while we were away on vacation. Thank you.
Christine Kovacs
Great place to take your dog
Our dog loves Camp Bow Wow and their socialization is great for him. The staff I have met are awesome as well. Great place to take your dog.
David MacDonald
The team here is amazing
The team here is amazing and always treats our baby as their own. She’s excited to go every time she knows we’re pulling into the lot.
Paul Thorne
My dog was well cared for both days
I was visiting Halifax with my dog when I fell and injured my leg. The staff at this location were so accommodating to take my dog with a last-minute booking to allow me to attend the hospital, then used them again so I could attend my son's football game. They are very friendly here. The facility is very clean and well lit. Excellent staff-to-dog ratio. Modern and well located with plenty of parking. My dog was well cared for both days that I used Camp Bow Wow.
Andrew Cox
Their care and support has been so wonderful for Oscar
Oscar was a 6-month-old rescue pup with a ton of energy when he joined our family. John, Maureen, and the whole Camp Bow Wow team welcomed him into the camp family, and it became his fave place to burn off some steam and learn how to make friends with other dogs. Their care and support has been so wonderful for Oscar, and he’s also had the added benefit of being an overnight boarder a few times now. He knows and loves the team there, and vice versa, so it’s been so helpful for his development—and a trusted home away from home. He’s a play machine now, and almost 2 years later he’s a regular at the camp and he’s always excited to see everyone there. Thanks to the whole team!
Lisa McClafferty
Highly recommend this place for both daycare and boarding!
My pups regularly go to daycare here, and they are always thrilled to go. We recently had them board with Camp Bow Wow and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. The staff cared for our pups as if they were their own. I also received updates on how they were doing. The entire process was seamless and reassuring. Highly recommend this place for both daycare and boarding!
Nina B
She loves going to camp and meeting new friends
We have been sending our beagle Sally to Camp Bow Wow for 9 years, since she was 3 months old. She loves going to camp and meeting new friends. Although she doesn't run around as much as she did when she was young, she still keeps young playing occasionally with the new younger campers. If you want your pupper to be good and tired when they get home, this is the place to take them, they'll love it and have a great time. Thanks to all the staff at Camp for taking such good care of our girl.
Cheryl Weldon
Our dogs can't wait to get there!
Both of my Boxers have the best time at Camp Bow Wow. Right from day one, they were assessed appropriately—the owner was spot-on with their personalities. The staff are very professional, as is the facility itself. Always clean and it is evident that the dogs are loved there. They don't overbook the daycare and our dogs can't wait to get there! Many, many thanks.
danica robb
She loves camping with her furry friends
Millie is an 8-month-old Golden who can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive at Camp Bow Wow. She loves camping with her furry friends and comes home after a day at camp needing a big nap!
Jo-Anne Pushie
She is always happy to go back again.
I have taken my one-year-old fur baby to Camp Bow Wow, Dartmouth several times now and have been very pleased with the reception when she arrives and her enthusiasm about being there with her furry friends. She gets lots of exercise and she is always happy to go back again. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the facilities are very clean and neat.
Carol Ann Rose

Always have a great experience at Portland CBW for our two pups. Trust the staff to care for them, whether it's for the day or while away from home.

It’s like going to Disney for dogs
It’s like going to Disney for dogs. He is so happy to see the folks who work there as well as the play time. I also love that they limit the amount of dogs; some other places have too many dogs.
