Bow Wow Bungalow

We love Bow Wow Bungalow. Poppins goes to daycare about twice a week and also boarding from one night up to a week (~once a quarter). Conveniently located by Burbank Airport. Everyone is so pleasant, attentive and communicative in regards to Poppins’ needs throughout her stay. We pay for daily report cards during boarding and really look forward to the pictures and informative, quirky updates. We really appreciate the multiple webcams to see how her day is going and also the photo events they have during holidays (back to school magnet/valentines keychain). When we moved from Philly over the summer we were also leaving a wonderful doggy daycare and doggy friends. We trialed multiple daycares in our area (SFV) and found Bow Wow Bungalow to have the largest play areas both indoor and outdoor, with water area to keep cool during hot weather. All important things for an active German Shepard who loves laying in shallow water or lounging on rocks/raised cots whilst silently judging other dogs. Sometimes we joke that Poppins is so well behaved at daycare because she thinks she’s there to work and help her new favorite people keep the other dogs in line. Lastly, we love that the people at Bow Wow love our Poppins like their own. We value the vetting process and rules to keep all dogs safe. Plus there are trainers on staff to help with identified needs. Having opportunities for enrichment and managed play with other dogs is important to us along with days without having an extra shadow around. Thank you Bow Wow Bungalow!

All the staff were so great! My dog is a very anxious dog and they were all so patient and kind to us. Alexa was awesome and made my dog feel right at home. He was so calm when I picked him up after the weekend, which meant so much to me because I know he enjoyed it there and felt comfortable. I want to give a shoutout to Alexa because she really seems to know her stuff and is familiar with herding dogs so knew exactly what to do. I have already recommended this place to my friends and will definitely bring my dog back!

Our hyper boy Opie came home from a long weekend happy, clean, and tired! He slept the whole way home in the car. We chose private boarding, but he still got plenty of play time and made friends with the staff. This facility is safe, professional, and extremely clean. They are fastidious about health and vaccine records, which we appreciate. Will be back!

My initial impression of Bow Wow Bungalow is that they're not like most daycares. I took my 12 month old mini dachshund there for an evaluation prior to daycare and they were awesome. They closely monitor the interactions between the dogs and correct behavior as necessary. They gave us a comprehensive run down of how she did during her stay, things she needs help on and things they suggest. It wasnt just drop her off and that's it. They closely watched her and seem like they will help in giving training advice and coaching to have a well behaved dog, which I appreciate so much! Well definitely be returning!
