A Day At Our Dog Day Care In Newark

Pet parents often want to know what their dog’s day will actually look like at Camp. From morning check-in to afternoon pick-up, we follow a consistent rhythm so dogs can settle in quickly and enjoy themselves. After a quick health and behavior check at the door, Campers join carefully matched play groups where they can run, chase toys, and make friends under our team’s watchful supervision. Throughout the day, we rotate between indoor and outdoor yards based on the weather in Newark so dogs stay comfortable while still getting plenty of exercise and fresh air.

We build rest time into the schedule to help pups avoid getting overtired or overstimulated. Some dogs enjoy a cozy nap in a cabin, while others simply relax on raised beds away from the busiest play areas. Fresh water is always available, and we follow your feeding instructions for snacks or lunch, including any special diets you provide. Before heading home, dogs have a final chance to stretch their legs so they are more relaxed for the ride and the evening with your family. This predictable daily routine helps dogs feel safe and makes each visit to Camp something they look forward to.

Dog Day Care Requirements And Camper Interview

Before any dog joins our play yards, we complete a thorough Camper Interview to make sure Camp is a good fit. During this visit, we learn about your dog’s history, energy level, and preferences, then slowly introduce them to a small group of friendly Campers. Our team watches how your pup greets new dogs, responds to play invites, and handles the excitement of a new environment. This careful process helps us build play groups where dogs can enjoy themselves safely and gives you confidence in the community your dog will be joining.

We also review vaccination records, spay or neuter status, and any medical or behavioral notes you share so we can tailor care to your dog’s needs. Because many of our Campers come from Newark and neighboring towns, we see a wide mix of breeds and personalities, and the Camper Interview helps us place each dog where they will thrive. Once your pup has passed, they are cleared to attend day care and boarding, and we will keep you updated if we ever see changes that might affect their play style or comfort at Camp.

Care You Can Count On In Newark

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.

From the moment your pup arrives for dog day care, our team follows consistent check-in and handling routines so they feel secure and comfortable. We pay attention to each dog’s energy level, play style, and body language throughout the day, adjusting play groups or suggesting rest time when needed. This hands-on approach helps prevent scuffles, supports good manners in the yard, and allows us to share helpful feedback with you about how your dog is doing socially.

Many pet parents in the Newark area rely on us several days a week, so we view ourselves as long-term partners in their dog’s well-being. If we notice changes in mobility, appetite, or behavior, we let you know so you can decide whether to check in with your veterinarian. By combining consistent routines, careful observation, and a lot of affection, we create an environment where dogs can thrive, not just pass the time while you are away.

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 Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza. Learn about our Bordetella policy

Dog Daycare FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow Delaware North is here to help!

Yes, Camp Bow Wow requires all dogs attending daycare to be up to date on their DHPP vaccine to keep them healthy and able to play safely with other dogs. It’s also recommended that dogs receive the Leptospirosis vaccine annually, as it can be deadly and spread to humans.
The DHPP vaccine protects dogs from four serious and contagious illnesses: Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These illnesses 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 continue booster shots as recommended by their veterinarian, with the Distemper and Parvovirus portion usually given every 1–3 years.
In addition to the DHPP vaccine, the Rabies and Bordetella vaccines are also required for all dogs attending daycare at all our locations. For more information on our vaccine requirements for dog daycare, contact your local Camp Bow Wow.
Camp Bow Wow requires all dogs must be spayed or neutered at 7 months of age in order to receive daycare and boarding services.
- Camp Bow Wow understands that the choice to spay or neuter and at what age is a decision to be made for each individual dog and by the dog’s owner and veterinarian.
- For safety in a play group, dogs must be spayed or neutered by 7 months of age to take part in boarding or daycare services at Camp Bow Wow.
- As dogs reach sexual maturity, they are able to reproduce and hormonal changes occur that can alter behavior or may cause tension amongst other dogs within the group dynamic. This can impact the safety of all Campers and is not advised for open play environments.
Dogs staying overnight can be dropped off anytime that day during Camp hours. We suggest arriving before 4 p.m., so they can play, eat, and play again before bedtime. While you can check your pup in and out anytime during Camp hours at no additional cost, we do request you pick them up 15 minutes before closing, so we can tuck in our Overnight Campers.
This measure is to ensure the safety of all our Campers. Dogs can become possessive of toys, which can cause an altercation. If small pieces are torn off or broken off, a dog could choke or swallow and cause an obstruction.
You can view the free live webcams on the Camp Bow Wow website via your computer, tablet, or mobile device. We also invite you to download our iPhone or Android app to easily access the cameras from anywhere. The cameras are on during business hours when the pups are at play. Many locations offer luxury suites with 24/7 access to the suite’s webcam.
