What Reviews Say

513 reviews analyzed

Camp Bow Wow South Asheville enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 90% 5-star ratings) with particular praise for staff warmth (especially Brittany and owner Avery), clean facilities, and happy dogs. The facility's camera system provides peace of mind, and the rigorous interview process reassures owners about dog safety. However, a minority of reviews (approximately 3%) raise serious concerns about injuries to dogs, illness transmission, and inconsistent communication about incidents. The owner responds professionally to nearly all reviews, including negative ones, though some critics feel responses are defensive. Value for money is the weakest aspect, with several reviews noting high prices. Overall, this appears to be a well-run facility with a dedicated staff, though potential clients should be aware of the inherent risks of group dog play environments.
