Dog Boarding in Gladstone
All-Inclusive Overnight Stays for Gladstone, MO Dogs
At Camp Bow Wow, dog boarding isn’t a kennel stay. It’s a full Camp experience: all-day play in supervised indoor and outdoor yards, then a restful night in a private cabin. Gladstone and Northland pet parents get a home-away-from-home for their pup without the hidden fees or uncertainty that come with other options.
Our climate-controlled facility means Kansas City’s heat waves and cold snaps don’t cut the fun short. Dogs move between indoor and outdoor play areas comfortably year-round, staying active and social no matter the season.
Ready to book your dog’s stay? Call us at (877) 700-2275 or reserve online. We’re happy to answer questions or schedule a tour of the facility.
What Sets Our Dog Boarding Service Apart
Our all-inclusive pricing covers playtime, meals, and an individual cabin. There’s no extra charge for daycare during a boarding stay, medication administration, or the cabin itself. Every Camper gets a nightly treat, a cozy cot, and a fleece blanket. What you see is what you pay.
Certified Camp Counselors supervise every play session in our open-play environment. They’re trained in dog behavior and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so they can read the room and respond quickly if anything comes up. Our low dog-to-staff ratio means your pup isn’t just one dog in a crowd.
Live Camper Cams let you check in from your phone or computer anytime. Whether you’re at the office or out of town, you can see exactly what your dog is up to.

Safety & Transparency at Our Gladstone Dog Boarding Facility
Our Live Camper Cams give you a live view of the play yards from any device, anytime. You don’t have to wonder how your dog is doing. You can see for yourself.
Every Camp Counselor is certified in canine first aid and CPR, trained to recognize distress signals, and skilled at managing group dynamics in the open-play environment. Our low dog-to-staff ratio keeps supervision meaningful, not just nominal.
The Camper Interview screens every dog before they join the boarding environment, so the play group is made up of dogs evaluated for temperament and social readiness. Climate-controlled indoor and outdoor play areas keep conditions comfortable through Kansas City’s seasonal swings, and regular facility cleanings and health checks help maintain a hygienic environment for all Campers throughout their stay.

Camp Bow Wow requires all boarding dogs to be up to date on their DHPP vaccine to keep them healthy and able to play safely with other dogs. It’s recommended that the Leptospirosis vaccine also be included annually, as it’s more common, can be deadly to dogs, and can spread to humans.
The DHPP vaccine protects against four serious and highly contagious diseases: Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These illnesses can affect a dog’s respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, and 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 receive booster shots as recommended by their veterinarian, with the Distemper and Parvovirus portion typically given every 1–3 years.
In addition to the DHPP vaccine, the Rabies and Bordetella vaccines are also required for all boarding dogs at all our locations. For more information on our vaccine requirements for dog boarding, contact your local Camp Bow Wow.
