Camp Counselor Justin

Camp Counselor Justin studies statistics (yuk!) while his cousin Misty looks on.  You can tell she had a limited attention span when it came to numbers.

Midwest Veterinary Conference

Camp Bow Wow Carmel is attending the Ohio Midwest Veterinary Conference in Columbus, Ohio.  Look up for updates on the conference topics in the days to come.

Still Looking for Homes....

Although several dogs were adopted, there are more still looking for homes.  Please check out the rescue group websites:  Lucky Labs, Hamilton County Humane Society, Beagle Buddies, Northern Lights Sled Dogs, Love of Labs and Companion Animal Hospital (for chiquaqua puppies). 

Another Love Connection.....

Doesn't this look like a very happy family!!

Cupids and Canines

The Cupids and Canines event was a success with several dogs finding homes.  This little dog will be going home with new parents very soon!

Jillian is waiting for you

Jillian is patiently waiting at the door at Camp Bow Wow for you to come take her home to love. She is a beautiful lab who loves to have her belly rubbed.  Don't make her wait too long for you..

Danni needs a home

Danni is a fine boy looking for a home.  He is a Lab / Vizsla mix and he's great with people and other dogs.  Come see him at Camp Bow Wow Carmel.

February is Pet Dental Health Month

Smooch! Aw, I've been kissed by a dog!  I have dog germs!!!

Lucy may have a point about Snoopy's kisses.  Does your dog have bad breath??  It may be more than a turn off; it may actually be a health concern.  Poor oral hygiene can lead to tooth decay, gingivitis, and even bacteria that can lead to kidney, liver and heart disease in your dog.  The American Veterinary Dental Society notes that 80% of dogs show signs of oral disease by the age of three.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month and here are a few things to consider before you smooch your pooch:

1.  See your vet for annual dental check ups to assess for bad breath, tartar build-up,  swollen or bleeding gums or bad teeth.

2. Brush your dogs teeth at least weekly.  Get your dog used to brushing by first massaging the gums with great poultry-flavored dog toothpaste and gradually introduce brushing.

3.  Nutritional supplements and special dog treats, rawhide and dental bones may help in maintaining good oral health.

4.  Professional cleanings may periodically be necessary.

Who knows....after a good oral cleaning, Lucy may find Snoopy's kisses fresh and irresistable!

Snow Days

Camp Bow Wow buddies TOKA and Misty enjoy a snow day

Charcoal and her new sister. Good luck Charcoal. I know your new family loves you and will take very good care of you!

Brady says goodbye to his friend Hilton before he leaves.


















Lisa was giving me a hard time when she was picking up Brady, so I added her picture to the blog. Ha!

A Taste of Carmel

Camp Bow Wow had a fun evening at "A Taste of Carmel" at the Ritz Charles.  Several of our current clients came over to thank us for taking good care of their dogs -- that is always great to hear!  We also met alot of passionate dog lovers who seemed interested in our services.

We were "big" winners in the raffle - Herman won a watch, Michele won a facial and Lisa won a ride on a Carmel snowplow (or street sweeper) -- no kidding.  Wonder if she can take a dog on the snow plow with her?  That would make a great  TV spot.......

CAMP BOW WOW CARMEL CELEBRATES OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

It's been alot of hard work, long days, and LOTS of cuddly, tail wagging dogs -- but here we are celebrating our one year anniversary.  Thanks to our clients, employees, vet referrals and rescue groups that have made it a successful year.  Since January 2008, twelve foster dogs have found their forever homes and hundreds more dogs have trotted in through our doors for a doggone good day of play with their fellow Camp Bow Wow campers.  Thank you and we are looking forward to a great year in 2009.
