Thank you SO much for caring for them!
They are extremely accommodating and really know my dogs (and me) well! I was worried because one of my dogs has a chronic injury, but they were able to help me manage his pain and text me while I was on vacation with updates, double-checking if I wanted his extra pain reliever to be given. I just can't say enough good things about sending my pups to camp! I haven't been on vacation in a year and didn't worry at all about the dogs. Thank you SO much for caring for them so well!

Pick this place! Or at least try it first!
BEST dog boarding/day camp place I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to 3+ places in the area. Most places make everything look super fancy on the outside and spend a ton of money on decor and advertising. What makes this place is the STAFF and the LOVE inside the facility which is exactly what you want. They care deeply for my dogs, I’ve NEVER dealt with anyone in the entire facility who was less than exceptional with service. Every time I’ve had a sudden change in plans they are more than accommodating, kind, and always make it right if the charges don’t make sense.
We’ve been going to CBW for 4 years and every experience with boarding, doggie daycare has been the best. My dogs were very scared and shy and warmed up quickly, with staff's help, love, and assistance. Every person knew my dogs no matter how infrequently we came.
When our beloved Lou passed, we hadn’t been there for a few months due to his health issues, and they gave us beautiful flowers and a card with all the love from staff that was poured into it ❤️.
Exceptional! Pick this place! Or at least try it first!

Our Pup LOVES going there!
Camp Bow Wow in WDS is amazing! We love the staff (Hi Emily!), our pup LOVES going there (he knows the days that he goes. He wakes us up at 7 AM, runs downstairs, goes right to where we keep his Camp Bow Wow collar and sits by the door. Cutest thing ever 🥰). It’s so clean that when you walk in you would never know it’s a doggie day care. They offer baths and nail clipping, which is huge for us, along with a lot of great fun programs for the pups to participate in. The staff treats your pup like it was their own. We also love that we can check in on him at any time during his time there. That’s a great peace of mind ♥️
Jeanine Peterson
So Nice!
Our big mixed breed boy loves coming here. Everyone is so nice. He needed to have an urgent bath and they were able to let him come for playtime and bath on very short notice.

Know Him by Name
My pup Jet comes weekly for a play date. Jet and I are always welcomed with a warm smile, and they know him by name. Not only can you check in on your pup on their cameras, they also have great enrichment opportunities (like holiday photos🥰).

A Second Home to Us
Camp Bow Wow is perfect for my goldendoodle! Gracie has gone to day camp twice a week and boarding many times when I must travel. We have been attending Camp Bow Wow for two years now. I feel so comfortable when Gracie is at camp or boarding as the staff is so welcoming and makes me feel that Gracie is very loved and taken care of. It is like a second home to us. I am an incredibly pleased customer and so is my Gracie. I would and have recommended Camp Bow Wow to family members and friends. Thank you! Deb M.
Deborah Morford
Great job everyone!
It was so chaotic this morning with campers being dropped off for the day, first day for another family and then an additional family just checking the place out. As I was waiting, I watched the main girl (sorry I cannot remember her name) handle this situation flawlessly. She remained calm, friendly, and so professional. She spent time with the new family, which is where the attention was most needed as they were probably anxious dropping off a first time. She was polite answering all the questions and making sure they were comfortable. She never rushed anyone. There was another girl (who is always always there) who handled the new inquiry, and she also kept her cool knowing there was a line. She gave a polite smile as if she was acknowledging I was there. Neither girl complained once. Not even a sigh. Just carried on with smiles. The customer service and compassion shown for all the families equally is incredible. Great job everyone! You can tell you care.
C Brennecke
Camp Bow Wow was amazing!
First-time dog owner, was very nervous to leave my dog when I went out of town, but Camp Bow Wow was amazing! He had so much fun and was well taken care of while I was gone. Have used them ever since. Staff is very friendly as well!
Taylor Allie
We love the staff there!
Used other dog sitters/doggy day cares and was never really satisfied. We decided to try out Camp Bow Wow and have loved it. Our dog gets to socialize and play all day and is well taken care of. We love the staff there! Every time someone asks for a recommendation this is the place I give them!
Jacob Pruitt
The Absolute Sweetest
They are the most caring and kind staff. We don’t trust very many people with our fur babies, but we know they are always in good hands with this team. Love the owners too, they are the absolute sweetest.

Management is really caring
We had to use Camp Bow Wow for our rescue puppy. She was a little nervous, but they went out of their way to help her fit in. The management is really caring and know what they are doing!

My dogs love to come here
My dogs love to come here. The younger dog started going nuts when we parked because he recognized where we were going. He has a good memory. The last time he was here was several months ago.
Doug Robison
Outstanding Service During Her Baths
Camp Bow Wow staff truly feel like family to my dog Shelby. She eagerly embraces each day spent there. For years, she attended daycare daily, and I am deeply grateful for a place where she receives such care and affection. Their outstanding service during her baths and my experiences boarding her have only reinforced my appreciation. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! Shelby GT’s Mom

The best staff
Camp Bow Wow in West Des Moines has the best staff. They do what doggy day care should do by letting the dogs play all day, unlike some other places in town. My dog always comes home exhausted from socializing all day.

Pat Floersch
He's been happy every time
Our dog can get really anxious when we leave him, and to be honest, we usually use a pet sitter. However, he's stayed at Camp Bow Wow multiple times when our usual people weren't available. I have to say they've done a great job every time, and he's been happy and in good spirits whenever we pick him up! We know he's in good hands when he stays here.
Our trained staff monitors the dogs 24/7 through video surveillance and frequent in-person checks. We ensure that your pet gets the exercise and attention they need.
How can I make a reservation?
Making a reservation is easy. Just give us a call or use our online booking system to select dates for your dog's stay.
What if my dog needs medication?
If your dog requires medication, our staff can administer it as needed. Please provide the medication with clear instructions upon drop-off.
Can I check in on my dog during their stay?
Absolutely! We offer webcams in our play yards so you can check in on your dog anytime during their stay.
