Dog Boarding in Allentown
All-Inclusive Cabin Stays with Open Play for Lehigh Valley Dogs
At Camp Bow Wow Allentown, overnight dog boarding means more than a kennel run and a bowl of water. Every boarding Camper stays in their own private Cabin, with a cozy cot, fleece blanket, and nightly treat included. Daycare and medication administration are built into the overnight rate at no extra charge, so the price you see is the price you pay.
We serve Allentown and the broader Lehigh Valley, including Lehigh and Northampton counties. Whether you’re traveling for work or heading out on vacation, our spacious indoor and outdoor play areas give your dog a full, active day before they settle into their Cabin for the night. Live webcams let you check in from your computer or phone anytime you want a peek at what your pup is up to.
Call us at (610) 365-4301 or contact us online to learn more or schedule a Camper Interview.
Why Allentown Pet Parents Choose Our Dog Hotel
Pet parents comparing boarding options in the Lehigh Valley often come back to the same concern: hidden fees. A quoted nightly rate that balloons with add-ons for playtime, outdoor access, or medication makes it hard to budget a trip. Our all-inclusive pricing removes that uncertainty. The Cabin, daycare, and medication administration are covered. That’s the rate.
Beyond pricing, here’s what a boarding stay at Camp Bow Wow Allentown includes:
- Open-play Environment: Dogs board in shared indoor and outdoor play areas, not isolated runs, so they stay socialized and active throughout the day.
- Certified Camp Counselors: Every play session is monitored by our certified Camp Counselors, trained in dog behavior, CPR, and pet first aid.
- 24/7 Webcam Access: Live web cameras are accessible around the clock from your computer or mobile device so you can check in whenever it helps.
- Grooming and Training Add-Ons: Grooming and training are available at Camp, making us a one-stop destination for your dog’s care.
- First Day Free for New Campers: New dogs who pass the Camper Interview are eligible for a free first day. It’s a low-pressure way to see how your pup takes to Camp before committing to an overnight stay.
- Camp App: Use the Camp App to request reservations, update your Camper’s profile, and access webcams from your phone.
What Sets Our Doggie Boarding Apart
Not every dog is ready for group play from day one. Before any Camper joins the pack, they go through our Camper Interview, a structured introduction that helps us assess temperament, energy level, and social readiness. All Campers must also be spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations before participating. These requirements aren’t bureaucratic checkboxes. They support open-play boarding for dogs in Camp.
Our Camp Counselors are trained in canine behavior, so they’re reading the room throughout every play session. They can spot early signs of overstimulation or stress and step in before a situation escalates. Combined with CPR and pet first aid training, our team brings a level of preparedness that goes well beyond typical boarding staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Bring for My Dog’s Boarding Stay?
Bring any food your dog eats at home, especially if they’re on a specific diet or schedule. Familiar items like a favorite toy or blanket can help them settle into their Cabin more quickly. Please label everything clearly with your dog’s name. Each Cabin already includes a cot and fleece blanket, so personal bedding is welcome but not required.
How Do You Keep Dogs Safe During Their Stay?
Every dog in Camp has passed the Camper Interview and met our vaccination requirements before joining group play. Our certified Camp Counselors monitor all play sessions and are trained in dog behavior, CPR, and pet first aid. Live webcams give you an additional layer of transparency, so you can see how your dog is doing at any point during their stay.
Can I Visit My Dog During Their Boarding Stay?
We encourage you to schedule ahead if you’d like to stop by. Webcam access is available 24/7 if you want to check in without a visit. Dogs often settle into the Camp routine more smoothly with a little uninterrupted time to adjust, so the webcam option works well for many pet parents.
What Does My Dog’s Day Look Like at Camp?
Boarding Campers spend the day in supervised group play across indoor and outdoor areas, with meals and rest periods woven in around their natural energy levels. Mornings tend to be more active; afternoons wind down toward quieter time before the evening transition to Cabins. Each dog’s day is shaped around their temperament and pace, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
How Do I Book Overnight Dog Boarding in Allentown?
New Campers start with a Camper Interview. Call us at (610) 365-4301 or contact us online to schedule your dog’s introduction to Camp. Once your pup has passed the Interview, you can book and manage boarding reservations through the Camp App or by contacting us directly.

Camp Bow Wow requires all boarding dogs to be up to date on their DHPP vaccine to keep them healthy and able to play safely with other dogs. It’s recommended that the Leptospirosis vaccine also be included annually, as it’s more common, can be deadly to dogs, and can spread to humans.
The DHPP vaccine protects against four serious and highly contagious diseases: Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These illnesses can affect a dog’s respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, and can spread quickly between dogs, making vaccination important.
Puppies start the DHPP series at 6–8 weeks old, with two boosters given at 3-week intervals, followed by a third booster a year later. Adult dogs receive booster shots as recommended by their veterinarian, with the Distemper and Parvovirus portion typically given every 1–3 years.
In addition to the DHPP vaccine, the Rabies and Bordetella vaccines are also required for all boarding dogs at all our locations. For more information on our vaccine requirements for dog boarding, contact your local Camp Bow Wow.
