“I recently started taking my pup (Vinny)to Camp Bow Wow Ridgefield for daycare. I really like the atmosphere, it's very clean and organized. The staff has been very welcoming and kind, they always have a kind word to say about my pup and let me know how he did for the day. The staff interacts with the campers which is important to me. I watch the live cameras often, and my pup is always having a ball. At the end of the day, he's always worn out and tired (which is good because his energy is off the scales). They have a good interview process allowing your dog to meet a male dog, then female, then gradually adding to see how they do and react (all this is done while you watch on a TV in the lobby) for about 20 minutes. They have several areas indoor and outdoor and live cameras for all of these areas you can watch online (phone or desktop) anytime. The price is reasonable and comparable to other daycares in Clark County with discounts if multiple days/packages are purchased. They also offer doggy spa and bath services (even a blueberry facial) amongst a whole range of play services. This month they have a Halloween costume photo shoot where you can pick a costume they have and have your pup's photo taken for a nominal fee. I also see they have other events during holidays and seasonal. I also like the fact it's not packed with dogs, a good amount of playmates during the day (anywhere from 10 - 20 from what I've seen on the cameras). On another note, they do require the standard vaccines to be current and neuter or spay at a certain age which is pretty standard for daycares/boarding. However, when I asked about sending giarda results they no longer require giardia testing. This actually makes sense to me. I worked in vetmed for awhile and a giardia result even from a week prior only shows they didn't have giardia that day. They can pick it up after the test, so unless you are doing daily tests for giardia, it's really just an extra expense to the client that really doesn't prevent or prove the pup doesn't currently have giarda. Most people will be able to see the signs of giardia pretty quick. With that said, if you are taking your pup here and he/she has bloody/urgent diarrhea or any signs of giardia, do get a giardia test before you take them to Camp Bow Wow to avoid the spread to other pups. So far, very impressed with this facility and the staff. My pup gets so excited when I turn down the road that goes to Camp Bow Wow. By the time we are in the lot he's screeching with excitement, which tells me a lot about his review!”
