Highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Tampa South Shore
Highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Tampa South Shore. Beautiful facility, friendly and expert staff, and well-managed. My Henry has a wonderful time at daycare and as a boarder.
Ellen Abshire
Our dog gets so excited
Our dog gets so excited every time he goes through the door. The staff are great and he loves them. Also helps him with socializing with other dogs. He does great at daycare, but we still have some work to do as he is very possessive of me at home, so we are worried about ever letting another dog come over to play.
Miranda Sieber
My dog is treated with love
I love this place. My dog is treated with love and always happy to come back. Any extra services, such as baths, are great too. My dog comes back smelling so good. You have the option to see through the camera and see your pup in real time. Staff are always kind.
Kellys Longabardi

I can’t express how grateful
To Camp Bow Wow, I can’t express how grateful for the thriving, energetic, and supportive environment for furry friends, I bring my fur baby there and she comes home exhausted lol, brings home creative arts 🎭 that we are thankful for. On bath days she comes home smelling so wonderful. Thank you, Camp Bow Wow, for taking care of our furry friends and making them happy and coming home exhausted at the end of the day when we pick them up from their fun. This is from Luna’s family.

My dog loves going to this daycare!
My dog loves going to this daycare! He runs to the door as soon as he gets out of the car. He also gets his nails trimmed while he's here for a small fee, and sometimes I book him a bath or one of the fun photo or art activities. I highly recommend bringing your dog here!

Rick Gacho
Camp Bow Wow has been absolutely wonderful!
Camp Bow Wow has been absolutely wonderful! Sir Oliver Twist absolutely loves going there, and that says everything. The moment we pull into the parking lot, his tail starts wagging with excitement because he knows he’s about to spend the day with his favorite people and furry friends. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely treats every dog as if they were their own. It gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing Sir Oliver Twist is in a safe, clean, and loving environment where he gets plenty of exercise, socialization, and affection. Thank you, Camp Bow Wow, for taking such great care of our handsome boy. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business—it’s a place where dogs are truly loved. Sir Oliver Twist gives you two paws up, and we highly recommend Camp Bow Wow to any pet parent looking for exceptional care for their four-legged family member!

We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow!
We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! They take such good care of our dog Liberty while we are out of town. The front desk staff is so incredibly friendly. They always remember her by name as soon as we walk in. It really makes you feel like they care. I also love that they have cameras in the play areas so we can keep an eye on her while we are away and see all the fun that she's getting into, running around with other dogs and barking and everything.
Lewis
Pups love it so much
Pups love it so much they don’t even look back when we pass them off.

My dog has been visiting since 2018
My dog has been visiting Camp Bow Wow since 2018 and always gets so excited to go he whines as we get close and barrels out of the car and into the facility. He usually doesn’t tug on the leash except when he visits his friends and doesn’t want to waste a minute of his time.
