“We've been bringing our two Australian Shepherds to Camp Bow Wow Columbia since they were each 6 months old for daily daycare, and it's been an excellent choice for our family. As anyone familiar with the breed knows, Aussies need extensive exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Since both of us work full-time, we didn't think it would be fair to leave such active, intelligent dogs home alone all day. Camp Bow Wow has been the perfect solution to ensure our dogs get the physical activity and social interaction they need.
Having our dogs grow up at Camp Bow Wow has been wonderful - the staff has literally known them since they were puppies and has been there throughout their development. The consistency of daily daycare has allowed our dogs to become part of the regular pack, and the staff has gotten to know their individual personalities over the years. One of the main reasons we selected this facility was their dual offering of daycare and boarding services. We wanted our dogs to be familiar with the staff and environment in case we ever needed boarding, which we felt would make any future overnight stays less stressful for our pets.
Having our dogs attend every weekday for years has also let us see how well the facility maintains its quality of care on a consistent basis. For active breeds like Australian Shepherds, this kind of consistent, engaging environment is invaluable - we come home to happy, well-exercised dogs who have spent their day playing and socializing instead of waiting by the door.”
