Camp Canine Dog Spa

I have two Boxers, Bruschi is my two year old and Gronk is 9 months. I love bringing them here! I like that I can see them from my phone when we are away thanks to their cameras, and I love that they are outside a lot!!!
I used to live in Framingham on the border of Ashland, so it was so easy to take them there. Now I live in Uxbridge but still make the drive to them! They are awesome and the girl that helped me today — I wish I remembered her name– was super nice and friendly. My boys love it there!

Just thought I’d let people know saw an employee walking around the back kennel on his phone while dragging a dog by its collar. Seems like the dogs there are getting mistreated. Couldn’t help but notice from the gas station parking lot

FYI that Camp Canine has been under the new ownership of a lovely couple since late spring of 2014!
Our dog Lucy has been coming here twice per week for doggie daycare and boarding here occasionally for the past year. She LOVES it! She plays, plays, plays, and comes home exhausted. When we have boarded her at other facilities, she comes home with an upset stomach for days– but not after staying at Camp Canine– she is just comfortable there and does not get the «nervous» GI issues she gets elsewhere. Best of all, they have outdoor play areas, and the dogs are let out in them even when they board there. So, if your dog is used to doing his/​her business outside, they won’t need to change their routine.
I also have been impressed by the friendly and responsive staff, and the nice notes we get at pick-​up every day. If only my kids’ teachers gave us such detailed reports!

The first time my dog stayed there she had pink eye when I picked her up. The second time they lost my dog’s antibiotics. There won’t be a third time.

My wonderful 12 year old Golden passed away this summer. She started going to CC when she was a pup and continued for all her life. She loved being there sooo much that I could not drive past it or near by because she would have a temper tantrum.
She boarded when we had vacations and did not want too leave. She also went for play days as pup while I worked. When she got sick with Cancer, I received calls of sympathy and received several condolence cards with amazing long personal notes on them… We are lucky to have found them.
Thank you for the best care. Maddie our new pup looks forward to going when she is old enough too (6 months old). Give it a try

My 3yo Labrador lost a tooth, incurring a $ 560 vet bill due to the incompetence of the staff here. I’m disgusted!

We take our dog here once or twice per week, and board her a few times a year. I love that we can watch her during the day on the web cams that they have, and also that the dogs are able to play outside all day. The only negative for me is that during boarding, the latest they let the dogs out is 7pm, and our dog usually goes out around 10pm for the last time, so she wet her bed twice at Camp. Besides that, its great. The counselors genuinely love dogs.

My girlfriend and I have been bringing our dog Scout here once a week for daycare for about 4 months now. At first she was a little skiddish but that’s just her personality. She loves going now, the staff is very nice and friendly. Large outdoor area for dogs to play in and the best part of all-​she sleeps for the next two days straight. As long as I live in the area I will continue to bring Scout here for daycare.

We have been taking our dog here for day care (2 – 3 times a week) and boarding (every few months, sometimes more often) for more than two years and she LOVES it there. The staff is great and they have always immediately let us know about any «issues» (ie: scuffles between our dog and other dogs) — I also really like that the staff seems to genuinely enjoy dogs and takes dog personalities into consideration. Sometimes our dog likes hanging out with humans more than other dogs and they are always happy to have her hang out in the office and «do paperwork» with them!
I love the report cards they send home with the dog with details about their day, who they played with and, if they ate, how well they ate.
Someone mentioned in a review that the staff is never reachable by phone or that you have to «keep calling»: that could not be further from the truth. If you call and do not reach someone you can leave a voice mail — I have never waited more than an hour for a call back. I guess if you need up-​to-​the-​minute contact about your dog ²⁴⁄₇ this isn’t the place for you, but I have never had issues getting in touch with someone when I’ve needed to.

Let’s say that I fell for their yard, physical location and facility. My newly acquired dog was evaluated by the staff and included for day care. It sure is glitzy and feels as though the pet is taken care of by people who know. But that is not always the case. Some members of the staff definitely are knowledgeable but not all. Oftentimes there are teenagers working shifts. No one evaluates dog personalities. We used their day care and boarding and were very unhappy with it all. After boarding our dog lost his voice from too much barking (they leave dogs alone from 7pm to 7 am) and he also had developed stomach parasites. They did not attend to the fact that he was anxious/​alone and the fact that he contracted the parasites there in the 2 weeks that he was boarded. The staff is never available on phone; for day care they are overbooked and often refuse taking in a dog with no prior notification. There are many homey alternatives and I recommend that they be checked out.

The last time I sent my dog there for doggie day care (in the winter) they sent her home with a huge open wound on her neck. The worst part was they put her coat on over the wound so we didn’t know until we got her home that she was injured, and when we called to find out what happened they said that we must have brought her in that way and denied it happened there. My vet bill was not worth taking off a day to take them to small claims court but certainly worth this review. Be warned.

My pup is like my one of my own children and I don’t like him to be apart from us but there are times that we just can’t bring him. I my search for a home away from home I came across Camp Canine where they have daily socialization or play dates.
My small pup has the little dog big dog syndrome. He is a 9 lbs Yorkie who would like to think he is a killer dog but really he is a large hamster and looks more like a rat when he is wet.
I’ve boarded him and put him in doggie day care a few times and he has done well. He usually gets lots of exercise and continues to become more comfortable around other dogs. Since Camp Canine has large outdoor areas for play with toys, a kiddie pool and web cams so you can watch I thought this would be great. I always shutter when I’ve been to places that have cement stalls and can’t get the image of my furry friend staying and sleeping in one of these.
After bringing our papers with proof of shots and kennel cough (need this every 6 months) and having a meet and greet with the staff we signed him up for the weekend.
After just a few hours after dropping him off we got a call saying our pup was severely sick. Vomiting, diarrhea with lots of bleeding, shaking, and looking terrible they brought him to the vet. Of course we were already hours and miles away. What were we going to do… turn the whole family around ugh? We waited to hear from the vet to learn that she had given him some meds to settle his stomach and asked us if it would be ok to run some blood work.
He returned to Camp Canine where they put him in a suite to isolate him. They tried to calm him by giving him one on one attention and keeping him away from the other dogs. This was good to lessen his anxiety and if he was sick — keep him away from the other dogs.
Thalia was excellent. She took great care of my sick pup and giving me detailed updates and did her best to accommodate our stressed out Yorkie.
Everyone knows our pup now. He has since been back for a doggie day as a test before our vacation and he did awesome.
The one difficulty I do have is getting in touch with the staff. Drop off hours are 7 – 10 and pick up is from 4÷5−7. I know they are tending to the dogs but it does seem hard to get someone on the phone so keep calling and being patient.
In the future, I would also be sure to use my own Vet and not someone that I don’t know. I was not so happy when I called to follow up and the Vet told me I was not their client. Ughh I may not have been but I sure paid the bill and own the dog.
