Great place, however pricing changed. Took me out of budget. Had to stop. Love to come back since we were regular clients.

We have used Camp Canine several times over the past few years and they have always shown great care and affection towards my dogs. The staff is brilliant they have helped me many of times when it came to doing things regarding the computer or filling out certain forms. I used to think that Camp Canine was a bit pricey however after I did my research, I found out they are the cheapest in town!

Our dogs love going to camp canine! We love that they're tired and happy afterwards. We have recently began training sessions while they're there and have seen notable positive improvements in their loose leash walking. So grateful for this dependable resource. I especially appreciate that they know our dogs and know when they're not themselves and let us know.

Brought both my bulldogs in for a meet and greet. Woman that met us outside was very cheerful and greeting. Throughout the day, they said one was having a little issue but no big deal, they isolated her with a lead so she could only go so far away. According to one of the employees, they went to go take her of the lead and the dog jumped with excitement. They wanted to make up a story that she tried to bite their face.
Complete nonsense. The woman brought both my bulldogs out told us what happened and did not want to hear a single word we had to say. I've heard so many good and bad experiences here and guess mine proved to be bad. Without trying to talking about what happened just gave me our dogs and left.

We boarded our puppy for the first time. They explained everything and had her try out daycare to get acclimated. We got updates and daily pictures of her playing with her new buddies. She was so happy when we picked her up and looked great after her bath. Thanks for taking care of our fur baby.
