Doggie Day Camp at Camp Bow Wow’s New Location
With summer upon us, it’s hard not to remember the good old days of our childhood summer camps. More than just a way to get out of the house, camps gave us fun-filled memories to last us a lifetime. So why not sign up your pooch for the same?
In just 13 years, Camp Bow Wow, the Premier Doggy Day and Overnight Camp, has expanded their pet care franchise to 152 locations across North America. These locations now include a fifth camp in Pittsburgh at 1610 McClure Rd—Camp Bow Wow Pittsburgh East, set to open in July of 2015. This canine camp will be owned and operated by Jordan and Barbara Murray who Heidi Ganahl, Founder and CEO of Camp Bow Wow described as, “wonderful representatives of the brand for the past 10 years.”
To celebrate the opening of the new location and 10 years in the Pittsburgh community, Camp Bow Wow Pittsburgh East will offer a “Dog Days of Summer” deal which means new members will receive their first month of gold or silver membership (up to three days of daycare a week) for free.
The new location’s services will include large indoor and outdoor play areas, Certified Camp Counselors®, Live Camper CamsSM, luxury suites, spacious cabins with comfy cots, a climate controlled atmosphere, Tasty Bedtime Campfire TreatsTM for any overnight campers, all inclusive pricing, dog pools and outdoor play equipment, a 24-hour monitoring system, grooming, and Behavior Buddies Camp Bow Wow’s premier dog training and behavior modification.
Like all of its locations, Camp Bow Wow Pittsburgh East plans to provide a fun, safe, upscale environment where pups can play and receive lots of love and attention—even when their owners are busy. And if you’re heading to the beach for a little fun in the sun, don’t worry—Camp Bow Wow offers the option of both daytime and extended stay care.
In 2013, Camp Bow Wow was ranked 214 out of 500 in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list, and was recently named (for the fifth year in a row) in the INC. magazine 5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies. In 2014 they were acquired by VCA, Inc. (NASDAQ: WOOF), a leading animal healthcare company in North America—keeping up their message of “Happy, Healthy Pets and Happy, Healthy People.”
The franchise also includes the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, a non-profit organization that dedicates itself to the health of dogs everywhere by supporting foster programs, spay and neuter efforts, disaster relief, canine cancer research, animal welfare education, therapy dog teams, and improvements in the shelter system.
Do your pooch a favor this year and send them to camp for a summer they won’t forget.
