campbowwow.com

Camp Bow Wow opened one of the first dog day cares in Colorado in 2000. The success of the first location prompted a second, and then the idea to franchise the business model took hold. Over the last 16 years, Camp Bow Wow has grown into a more than $100 million pet-care company that has sold nearly 150 franchises in 42 states and Canada. It expects to open more than 20 camps this year.
