What Reviews Say
700 reviews analyzedCamp Bow Wow Delaware North is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with approximately 93% of reviews being 5-star ratings. The facility excels in staff friendliness, cleanliness, and providing a fun environment where dogs genuinely love attending. The webcam feature and personalized staff attention (knowing dogs by name) are frequently praised. However, there are serious red flags including 3-4 allegations of physical abuse by staff, multiple reports of dogs contracting kennel cough/fleas at the facility, and some communication failures regarding dog incidents. Pricing is considered slightly high by some but generally accepted as worth it. The owner is highly engaged, responding to nearly all reviews within 1-2 days with professional, warm responses. Long-term customers (many for 5+ years) are common, and the Home Buddies in-home service is also highly rated.
