Camp Bow Wow has over 60 new locations in development.
Pet care chain Camp Bow Wow is expanding its “pawprint” in 2023 with 12 new locations, and has big plans for 2024.
The dog day care, boarding and grooming franchise opened a dozen new locations last year, expanding its presence in California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan and Nevada. The new openings bring its total locations to 216 in 40 states and Canada.
Entering the new year, Camp Bow Wow, based in Westminster, Colo., has more than 60 new locations in development, with plans for 20 to open by 2024.
“As we enter 2024, we remain focused on the future as a leader in the pet care industry, bringing additional Camps to new markets, serving more customers and continuing to elevate our brand,” said by Camp Bow Wow President Julie Turner. “All of this is possible because of the incredible partnership we have with our franchise owners and our unwavering commitment to their success.”
Last year, Camp Bow Wow also invested in its technology to aid operations and customer experience. The brand debuted its new app that allows pet parents to request reservations, watch their Campers as they play and socialize, upload vaccination records, manage care information , buy day care packages and more. Since its release, the app has had over 300,000 unique users.
Camp Bow Wow has also introduced new technology within Camps that increases the level of efficiency by allowing continuous communication of dog status and activities between front desk team members and staff taking care of Campers.
Finally, in 2023, Camp Bow Wow celebrated a milestone for its Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. The nonprofit organization has reached $1 million in grants for life-saving veterinary care for more than 900 dogs from 260 rescues and nearly 650 families over the past eight years. Last year alone, the foundation raised more than $225,000, enabling it to help more than 150 dogs across North America.
“In 2023, our brand achieved tremendous results, and we look forward to next year as we continue to grow into new markets,” said Camp Bow Wow VP of development Todd Haavind. “Pets are more family than ever, and with dog ownership at an all-time high, the pet care industry is poised for incredible growth for years to come. “
