Our Safety & Health Standards

We take pride in creating a safe, clean, and healthy environment for every dog. Our dog boarding facility in San Diego follows health protocols that meet or exceed local requirements for animal care.

Our team inspects play yards and boarding areas throughout the day to keep these spaces tidy and hazard-free.

In addition to these daily checks, we use cleaning products and routines designed for animal care facilities, helping reduce the spread of germs while still being gentle on paws and noses. We are familiar with guidelines and best practices recommended by veterinarians across California, and we adjust our procedures as needed to support the overall well-being of our Campers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you group dogs for playtime?

We group dogs by size, temperament, and play style for all group activities. This approach creates a safe play environment and keeps each dog comfortable and active throughout the day.

Before joining a play group, new Campers go through an introductory process so we can learn how they interact with other dogs and which environment they enjoy most. This careful matching helps reduce stress, supports positive social skills, and encourages healthy play that leaves your pup pleasantly tired instead of overwhelmed. Our goal is for every dog to look forward to returning for more doggie boarding fun.

What are your drop-off and pick-up hours?

Our typical drop-off and pick-up hours accommodate busy San Diego schedules, usually spanning mid-morning to early evening. For specific hours or special requests, call us ahead of time so we can accommodate your needs.

We know traffic and timing around areas like downtown and the San Diego Airport can change quickly, so we encourage you to discuss your travel plans with us in advance. Our team will walk you through the best times to arrive, what to bring for your pup, and how to make drop-off smooth and low-stress. Clear planning helps you feel more relaxed on travel days, whether you are headed out for a quick overnight dog boarding stay or a longer trip.

To make your visit easier, keep these tips in mind for drop-off and pick-up:

Plan extra travel time to account for traffic near the airport, downtown, or major freeways so you are not rushed when you arrive.
Pack familiar items like your dog’s usual food and a favorite toy or blanket to help them feel more at home during their stay.
Review our policies for vaccination records, medication, and feeding instructions ahead of time so check-in is quick and simple.
Confirm your schedule with our team if your flights or work hours change, and we will do our best to adjust your dog’s boarding schedule.

Can you administer my dog's medication during their stay?

Yes, our team can administer medications as directed by you, provided they are clearly labeled and instructions are given at check-in. Please discuss your dog's medication needs with us before boarding for a seamless experience.

We recommend bringing any medication in its original container from your veterinarian, along with written instructions that include timing and any food requirements. Sharing details about your dog's typical routine, like when they usually eat or rest, helps us fit their medication schedule naturally into their day at our dog hotel San Diego location. If you have questions about how we handle special diets or supplements, our team is happy to review options with you before your pup's stay.

What To Expect From Your Dog’s Stay

When you choose our location for dog boarding, your pup’s day is designed to feel structured, engaging, and reassuring from the moment they arrive. After check-in, we guide your dog into the appropriate play group so they can start making friends and exploring our play yards under close supervision. Scheduled rest breaks, mealtimes, and evening wind-down routines help your dog settle in, even if it is their first time away from home in the San Diego area. This balance of predictable structure and fun keeps most dogs relaxed and happy throughout their visit.

During their stay, you can reach out to our team with questions about how your dog is doing or to share updates that might affect their routine. If your plans change due to flight delays or traffic on routes like I-5 or I-8, we work with you to adjust pick-up times whenever possible so your dog remains comfortable and cared for. Many families tell us that their dog seems excited to return for future visits, which is a sign that the environment and routine feel positive and familiar. Knowing what each day looks like can make it easier to decide when to book your dog’s next stay and how long to reserve their cabin.

At Camp Bow Wow San Diego Airport, we're committed to making each pup feel like part of the family, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they're in the best hands at our dog hotel!

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.
