What Reviews Say

358 reviews analyzed

Camp Bow Wow Elmwood Park is highly regarded for its cleanliness, webcam transparency, and ability to exhaust high-energy dogs. While the vast majority of long-term clients praise the attentive care and friendly staff, there are notable friction points regarding strict vaccination policies and breed restrictions. A small number of serious complaints exist regarding the facility's communication protocols during medical incidents and rigid billing for half-day stays.

Worth noting

Injury/Medical non-disclosure

“My dog was injured and they did not contact me at all. they said that they called but since i didn't answer that it wasn't their duty to leave a voice message.”

Allegation of physical striking

“all i heard was a very loud slap. and it sounded like she hit on of them. like hitting fur.”

Breed discrimination (Pitbulls)

“I am sick and tired of these stupid places discriminating against my dog because of her breed.”

Strict vaccination/policy enforcement

“we were told that they wouldn't take us cause our shots weren't up to 6 months renewal.”

Billing/Half-day vs Full-day disputes

“I came back at 6:32 and was charged and extra $32 for a full day... Roman(?) apathetically told me they will not refund my money.”

Kennel Cough

“He then diagnosed our doing with 'kennel cough' due to the unsanitary environment my dog was exposed to.”
