Camp Bow Wow Kansas City Westport — Local services in Kansas City

If there is anything in the world I am good at... it’s hard-core dog-momming! My husband and I work a lot, and it was breaking my heart to leave my sweet babies at home alone with no way to expel their energy. After some research and some thought, I figured day camp would be a perfect idea. I checked out a couple different places, but nothing, no one, no place was as amazing as this one.

First, I have Pit Bulls and I am VERY particular who’s hands they are in because of the misunderstanding of this beautiful breed and Camp Bow Wow-Westport welcomed my babies with open arms, warm hearts, and big smiles. During my short time filling out paperwork, the staff got photos of them with props, snuggled on them, and just made them feel welcome. As a “parent” there is nothing that could’ve warmed my heart more. Shortly after I finished my paperwork they took each of my dogs back one by one to begin the interview process. I was able to watch on the monitor in the lobby during the entire session. One counselor stayed with me, while the other two went back and helped ease my babies into their new pack. They were very honest about the positive and negative behaviors exhibited by my dogs, what those behaviors mean, how they are handled, and reassured me they are always monitored and loved when I’m not there.

After I left I seriously could have cried I was so nervous, but I knew my pups were getting the attention, love, and social time they deserve and need. I watched my puppies play on my Camp Bow Wow app on my iPhone and they looked so truly happy. I saw one of the counselors redirect my males attention away from dominating another dog by giving him snuggles. My girl came up to a counselor for some love and instead of turning away the counselor pet her, acknowledged her, and loved her. Everything the staff promised they would do was done! When I picked my babies up they were so so happy! I got a “First Day of Camp” folder with note cards on how they did that day, photographs of them playing at camp, and some coupons.

Okay, so a textbook later, what I am getting at is the price is worth it. I have never been so happy with the way my pups were treated. The staff is WONDERFUL, the place is clean, and most importantly my dogs came home HAPPY. Not stressed. Not scared. Just plain ole happy! This is the best decision I...

My dog absolutely loves Camp Bow Wow! Sometimes the staff literally have to drag him out because he doesn’t want to leave. When we get home, he’s completely exhausted and sleeps for hours.

We’ve taken him to another dog daycare before that offered discounted rates on certain days, but every time we picked him up, he still had so much energy. It honestly made us wonder if he was just being kept in a confined area most of the day. We’ve never had that issue with Camp Bow Wow. He gets plenty of playtime and socialization, and we can see it in how happy (and tired!) he is when he comes home.

One of my favorite things is that they have cameras you can check anytime during the day (and for free!) so I can peek in while I’m at work. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s safe and having a blast.

When we first brought him in, they took the time to slowly introduce him to the other dogs, which showed me right away how much they care about safety and comfort for every pup.

We've also used their boarding service, and I was honestly pretty nervous since it was our first time, but the staff were amazing and gave us so much reassurance. Oz had a great time, and we felt totally confident leaving him there.

Thank you, Camp Bow Wow, for loving Oz as much as he loves...

I can’t recommend Camp Bow Wow enough. First of all you can’t beat the price, but there’s so much more. The staff at the westport location in Kansas City is outstanding. Our Cybil has been going there sense she was four months old. She’s grown up with the staff and they are always showing her all the love. The atmosphere is that of an extended family. At the same time everyone is so professional and hardworking. There have been many times that I’ve needed advice be it training or grooming tips. Every time they are helpful and happy to help. They keep up on her upcoming shots and emailed me on her birthday. Out side of the loving and inviting atmosphere there are of course the facilities. The accommodations are clean and fun for your pup. They have indoor and outdoor access and cameras to check on your kiddo at all times. Not that you’d ever need to, because they always have a loving staff member with them keeping an eye. We are so thankful to have this kind of a place to help raise our little girl. FIVE...
