About Franchising with Camp Bow Wow

A Dog Care Franchise That’s Revolutionizing the Industry

Camp Bow Wow has had a big impact on the pet care industry – in fact, we've disrupted it by creating a day care that dogs would design for themselves. Dogs visit Camp Bow Wow more than 5 million times a year, and our company has upended the traditional canine kennel model by creating a unique experience for dogs and thoughtfully growing with dog-loving entrepreneurs who want to grow with us. We’re an overnight and day care concept that dogs — and their owners — truly love.

Our Company Values:

Passion - We are fueled by our love for dogs.
Service - We exist to serve others.
Innovation - We embrace change and cultivate inspiration.
Integrity - We communicate through our actions.
Trust - We can always be counted on.

We are a boarding and grooming franchise with over 200 units in the U.S. and Canada and nearly $200 million** in revenue in 2022. See Available Locations

Here are some statistics of what we've been able to accomplish as the leader of the pack:

Industry's First: Founded in 2000 and began franchising in 2003
Ranked in Entrepreneur Franchise 500 for 14 consecutive years
Industry's largest Pet Care Franchise with over 200 Camps!
Experienced 21%* average annual revenue growth from 2021-2022, which is ten times the growth rate of the economy (2%) and seven times the growth rate of the boarding and grooming industry (3%)

Dogs need four things to thrive:
socialization, exercise, stimulation, and a little TLC!
Our passion and curiosity about what’s best for dogs and
their humans drives us to keep pushing and innovating.

Dogs don’t want to be locked away in cages, only being let out for brief bathroom breaks or listless pacing in a lonely dog run. That’s yesterday’s kennel. The hallmarks of Camp Bow Wow’s innovative practices keep customers coming to us again and again. We remain the leader because we understand, in our bones, why each of those innovations are important. We love dogs! We are always looking for ways to make dogs’ lives better, and to help pet parents keep their loved ones cared for and happy.

Creating "Pull Demand"

Pull demand is a term marketers use to define when customer acceptance of a product or service is so high, customers storm the gates – this is something you may see Apple customers do. We have our own version of pull demand. Camp Bow Wow can anecdotally measure a Camp’s success by something we call the “pull factor.” If a dog is pulling hard on his leash to get into the Camp, we know we’re doing a good job. Many of our regular customers bring their dogs to day care several days a week. For the dog, walking into Camp Bow Wow is like walking into a favorite bar. They sidle right up to their friends and start enjoying each other’s company immediately. Our overnight boarders trickle in throughout the day. They’ll be spending the night with us, tuckered out after playing with the other Camp dogs. When the day care dogs go home at night, the boarders settle into their comfy Cabins with fleeces and cots in a climate-controlled environment with soothing, piped-in music. They even get Campfire Treats™ before lights-out.

Bow Wow Accolades

We are backed by an industry giant!

VCA Logo

In 2014, Camp Bow Wow was acquired by VCA, the largest veterinary animal hospital network in North America. VCA’s leadership saw an opportunity to take the brand to the next level and provide a springboard for Camp Bow Wow and our franchise owners. We now have access to a brain trust consisting of a network of over 1000 animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. This relationship has deepened our knowledge and raised the bar even higher on the standard of canine care.

Like many dogs, we go nuts when the phones ring! Call (870) 600-2713 to learn more about us!
