The Camp Concept
dog franchise

In the Spring of 1994, my husband Bion and I put the finishing touches on a business plan that represented our dream of owning a business, and our wish to create a happier place for dogs to stay for the day or night. The thought of leaving our own beloved furry friends in a kennel just wouldn't do, so we created a plan for a fun, safe, camp version of the traditional kennel. At the same time we were developing the plan for Camp Bow Wow®, the pet care industry was growing by leaps and bounds. A new concept called "dog day care" was starting to pop up around the country, which was an integral part of the Camp Bow Wow® concept.

Soon after we began our search for the first Camp Bow Wow® location, Bion died tragically in a plane crash. I never gave up on the dream we had and eventually opened the first Camp Bow Wow® in 2000.

At Camp Bow Wow® we provide a fun, safe and upscale environment for dogs to play, romp and receive lots of love and attention! We provide doggy day camp for clients wishing to drop their dogs off in the morning and pick them up in the evening, as well as overnight boarding for travelers. Overnight boarders play in the day camp program during the day and are kenneled individually at night.

Our customers are committed to us because we take extra care with our furry guests. They receive treats, play all during the day, receive lots of love and TLC and customers can view their pets on the web cam via the internet while they are at work or traveling. We serve an upscale, high-income clientele and have a very high rate of return customers. Camp Bow Wow® has been featured in newspapers, magazines, television shows and various web sites throughout the nation!
