Camp Bow Wow Troy
offers
dog daycare
and
overnight dog boarding.
At our camp, dogs have the freedom to play all day with
other campers, or just hang out and relax. We have four
indoor and three outdoor clean and comfortable play areas
where dogs can just be dogs. For a little extra fun, we
provide play equipment that some dogs love to climb. For all
the retrievers out there, our counselors are always up for a
game of fetch. In the summer, we bring out ‘paw pools’ for
our water-loving campers to splash around and cool off. If
they don’t like the water, that’s OK too, Camp Bow Wow is
fully air-conditioned for those ‘dog days’ of summer. If
your dog is more of a couch-potato, no worries, they can
while away the hours in our ‘pawvillion’ play area, complete
with doggy cots & fleece bedding.
 You
can be sure your camper will always be safe and happy at
Camp Bow Wow. Our counselors, who are trained in dog
behavior and first aid, constantly supervise playtime.
However, if you ever want to check in on your dog during
daycare, you catch watch them romping with his or her
buddies on our web cams.
Most dogs are pretty tired after a day of doggy daycare, and
our overnight boarding dogs are tucked into their cabins
with music and a campfire treat to settle in for the night.
At Camp Bow Wow Troy, our first love is the dogs. That’s why
we never charge extra for special treatment, individual
playtimes, medications, and personalized feeding. Dog
daycare is included with our dog boarding. We simply would
never let the campers be without the things they need to be
healthy and happy.
We
opened our doors April 5, 2004, and have been happy campers
ever since! Bob and Ann Roth, the founders of Camp Bow Wow
Troy would like to share their happy ‘tail’ of how Camp Bow
Wow Troy came to be.
In February 2002, we adopted a young dog named Buster from
Happy Tails Animal Rescue in Saint Claire Shores, MI. We
first saw Buster on
petfinder.org, waiting for adoption along with his
brothers and sisters. The photo of Buster on Petfinder
showed him sleeping soundly. It was love at first site, and
we quickly learned why he was photographed sleeping. Buster
has only two speeds, fast and off. We could walk him until
our legs fell off, but it did not begin to make a dent in
Buster’s energy.
We began taking Buster to local dog parks and found that
these trips were our favorite part of the day. It is simply
impossible to be unhappy while watching joyous dogs at play.
Letting Buster run and play at the park not only got him the
exercise he needed, it was a nice social outlet for us as
well, and we found other dog lovers to be among the finest
people we have ever met.
During the same period, we were searching for a way to leave
our corporate lives and start a business that we could run
together and make a difference in the community. We
investigated several options, from bed and breakfasts to
shoe stores. We traveled extensively as part of the search,
and found that there were no dog kennels in the Detroit area
that would do for our Buster. Although Buster was crate
trained as a puppy, leaving a high-energy dog like him in a
cage all day for boarding was unthinkable.
When we saw the Camp Bow Wow franchise, we knew we had found
our home. It has not only allowed us to be around the dogs
we love so much, but allows us to give something back to the
community in which we live. Not only do we create a lot of
happy dogs and people, we donate a portion of our profits to
local dog charities.
Best of all, we can bring Buster to work every day for dog
daycare. Buster now serves as our ‘activities director’,
leading frequent games of fetch and greeting new campers.
