re: Anyone ever used Camp Bow-wow to watch your pet while you're out of town?

I board my pets at Kleinpeter Vet Clinic on Barringer Foreman Road with no complaints.

This is the place to go. Every time our dog stays at Camp Bow Wow she ends up with kennel cough.

Take your pet to Camp Bow Wow. We love it. A little expensive but we have a 2 year old Choc lab and she can't stay cooped up indoors all day with only someone to come by and let her out. She would literally eat our house. At Bow Wow she gets to play all day long with other dogs and has a big room to sleep in. She loves it.

And to those complaining about kennel cough...you need to get informed. Kennel cough is a generic term for the common cold in dogs. It is not some serious fatal illness unless your dog is untreated or has some other health issues or is very old. The vaccine only prevents certain types of the illness, much like the flu vaccine does not cover every single strain of flu in one year. Our dog has gotten kennel cough twice after coming back, a quick call to the vet and she is on antibiotics and fine. That hasn't happened since we first started taking her though, probably because she has built up a tolerance to the more common strains, just like children do at a daycare or school.

And Bow Wow is very good about letting their clients know when their animal needs to update their shots. They always call and let us know and they wont let your dog stay if they are not up to date. It isn't Bow Wow's fault your dog got a cold any more than it is the schools fault when your child gets sick. This line of thinking is just idiotic.
