Delaware North Dog Day Care

Seize the Play^® at Camp!

Is your pup stressed out from being left at home alone all day? Maybe bored enough to eat the couch, your favorite shoes or the dining room table? Camp Bow Wow Delaware - North Day Camp, a premier dog day care service, is a dog gone fun way to give your pup exercise, mental stimulation and socialization with both dogs and people. Your pup will ‘dig’ our climate-controlled indoor play yards, and they can also get some fresh air and have fun in our large outdoor play yards.

Care You Can Count On

A happy, healthy, and safe dog is our top priority at Camp Bow Wow. You can be confident knowing your dog will be well-cared for while they run, jump, and romp around in our play yards.

Some of the safety standards we adhere to include:

• Certified Camp Counselors® who are extensively trained in dog behavior, pet CPR, and pet first aid
• Assurance that all our Campers have passed the Camper Interview, are spayed or neutered, and are current on vaccinations. Learn about our Bordetella policy
• Live web cams that allow you to check in on your pup on your computer or mobile device

BENEFITS OF CAMP

It’s no mystery that dogs love Day Camp at Camp Bow Wow Delaware - North – you can tell by the way they whine and bark with excitement at the mention of C-A-M-P and the way they pull their parents from the parking lot through the front door because they can’t wait to romp and play with their fur-iends. Parents love Camp Bow Wow too; they know while they are busy at work or away for the day, their furry kid is happier and healthier because of the many benefits of Camp:

• Provides regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight
• Relieves boredom, separation anxiety, and destructive behavior at home
• Improves socialization with dogs and people
• Increases overall happiness

We Do Not Require Reservations For Day Care At This Time

SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

We’ll do everything we can to ensure your dog is happy and healthy at Camp and you can feel confident knowing your dog will be well-cared for while they play all day in our safe and secure environment.

Each Camper is required to:

• Pass a socialization interview,
• Be spayed or neutered if over 6 months old, and
• Be current on rabies, distemper and bordetella vaccinations. If the bordetella vaccination has never been given or has expired a waiting period is needed so dogs can build immunity before coming to Camp. The waiting periods are:
  • - one-week period after receiving the injectable or oral vaccination
  • - 48-hours is required after receiving the intranasal vaccination
• We STRONGLY recommend the Canine Influenza Vaccine and require it for Campers coming to our Camp from over 50 miles away.
  • Canine Influenza is serious and can make dogs very ill.
  • Please consult with your vet or visit the American Veterinary Medical Association CIV FAQ site. The vaccine is offered for $30/dose at our monthly vaccine clinics.
• Be on a monthly flea and tick medication. Since flea/tick collars cannot be removed quickly in case of emergency, they are not allowed to be worn at Camp. If you use a flea/tick collar it will be kept with your dog's leash while the dog is at Camp.
• Come into camp wearing wear a Quick Release collar (pinch to open) and a name tag. We sell quick release collars and name tags at low prices for owner convenience.
• New dogs coming to our Camp must be owned at least 10 days by the person bringing them to Camp. We want the best for each dog. Dogs must feel loved and settled into their new homes. Transitions are very disruptive for dogs and we don’t want Camp to be overwhelming. We offer in-home pet care and dog walking to help you care for your new dog until they may come to Camp.
