Camp Bow Wow’s Build-Out Approach

Camp Bow Wow facilities are built to last. We use high-quality materials and construction techniques to ensure facilities are safe and comfortable. Camp Bow Wow invests in features such as climate control and air quality control to ensure that dogs are always comfortable. Also, the territory research performed allows for an optimal build out, accounting for the ideal day care-to-boarding ratio of Campers.

Quality Materials Used at Camp Bow Wow

Camp Bow Wow maintains a strong commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs, and this is reflected in the quality of materials used throughout our facilities. One key aspect is our solid wall fencing and Cabins, which are specifically designed to reduce the risks of injury for the dogs. This ensures Campers can play and rest in a secure and protected area.

Furthermore, Camp Bow Wow prioritizes the well-being of dogs during overnight boarding by offering climate-controlled facilities. These facilities are equipped with efficient HVAC systems that maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, regardless of the outside weather conditions. This attention to climate control ensures that dogs enjoy a consistent and pleasant environment, promoting their health and overall well-being.

To ensure the highest level of safety and quality, Camp Bow Wow thoroughly tests all play yard equipment in our corporate Camps before approving their use in franchised Camps. This rigorous testing process guarantees that all play yard equipment meets the highest standards of durability and safety before being introduced into any Camp. By maintaining this quality control measure, Camp Bow Wow ensures a consistent and safe play environment for all Campers, regardless of the location.

Camp Bow Wow relies on tried and trusted suppliers for flooring and HVAC systems. These suppliers are carefully selected based on their track record of providing durable and reliable materials and services. As a result, Camp owners can trust that their facilities will be equipped with top-notch flooring that can withstand the wear and tear from active dogs as well as HVAC systems that are built to last.
