Dog Day Care Austin

All-Inclusive Day Camp for Austin Dogs, Built on the CampLife Open-Play Model

At Camp Bow Wow Austin, our Day Camp gives Austin dogs a full day of structured, social, all-inclusive play rooted in the Camp Bow Wow® CampLife framework. Dogs spend their day in indoor and outdoor play yards under continuous supervision from Certified Camp Counselors®, grouped by size, temperament, and energy level so every dog finds a compatible crowd. One flat rate covers the entire day, including individual Cabin breaks with raised bedding, fresh water, and medication administration at no extra charge.

New dogs start with a free Camper Interview before their first Day Camp session. From the moment they arrive, Austin pet parents can watch via Live Camper Cams™ on the Camp Bow Wow website or mobile app. With more than 220 locations across North America and over two decades of operation since 2000, the CampLife model behind every Day Camp session is one of the most tested frameworks in dog care.

Why Austin Pet Parents Choose Camp Bow Wow Austin for Dog Day Care

Austin pet parents choosing dog day care want more than supervised containment. They want real safety protocols, genuine socialization, and pricing they can trust. Here’s what sets our Day Camp apart.

• Camper Interview & Temperament Grouping: Every new dog completes a Camper Interview to assess play style, temperament, and comfort in a group setting. Dogs are then grouped by size, temperament, and energy level throughout the day, helping reduce conflict and helping timid or high-energy dogs find compatible play partners.
• Certified Camp Counselors®: Our counselors are trained in dog behavior, pet CPR, and pet first aid. They provide gentle guidance during play, redirecting mounting, excessive barking, or rough play to keep every interaction positive.
• Live Camper Cams™: Watch your dog from any computer or iOS or Android device through the Camp Bow Wow app. Working pet parents don’t have to wonder how their dog is doing.
• All-Inclusive, Transparent Pricing: One full day of Day Camp is $34.00. No add-on fees for standard care. What you see is what you pay.
• Scheduled Rest Breaks: Regular rest periods prevent overstimulation and keep play yard energy balanced throughout the day.

Personalized Care Throughout Every Dog’s Day

No two dogs settle into Day Camp exactly the same way, and our approach is built around that. Groupings are adjusted over time as dogs gain confidence, change how they socialize, or hit a new life stage. A dog who joined as a shy puppy may thrive in a more active group six months later.

For dogs who benefit from one-on-one attention, individual Dog Enrichment packages are available as add-ons, each priced at $15.00: Play Pals, Mental Enrichment, Ball Pit, and Snuggle Time. Mental stimulation through enrichment supports emotional balance and can reduce destructive behavior at home. Every dog also receives a snout-to-tail health assessment at check-in so our counselors can spot potential concerns before they become problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Day Care in Austin

What Vaccines Does My Dog Need for Day Camp?

Dogs attending Day Camp at Camp Bow Wow Austin must be current on DHPP, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccines. We also recommend annual Leptospirosis vaccination, as it can be deadly and is transmissible to humans. All vaccine records are verified before a dog’s first visit. Current vaccinations protect dogs in the play yards, not just your own.

Does My Dog Need to Be Spayed or Neutered?

Yes. All Campers must be spayed or neutered by 7 months of age. This requirement applies to both Day Camp and boarding stays and is part of the broader safety and temperament standards we maintain across the facility.

How Do I Enroll My Dog in Day Camp?

Every new dog starts with a Camper Interview, which is free of charge and required before the first Day Camp or boarding session. It gives our counselors a chance to assess your dog’s temperament and play style in person. Once your dog passes, they’re a Camper and their first Day Camp day is free.

Can I Watch My Dog During the Day?

Yes. Live Camper Cams™ are available through the Camp Bow Wow website and the Camp Bow Wow mobile app on iOS and Android. You can check in on your dog anytime from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Why Aren’t Toys Allowed in the Play Yards?

Toys aren’t permitted in the play yards because dogs can become possessive over them, which raises the risk of altercations. Broken toy pieces also pose a choking hazard in a group setting. Our play yards are designed so the dogs themselves, guided by our counselors, are the source of engagement.
