National promotion also gives pet parents a chance to win 25 free days of Day Camp and $2,500 cash
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Camp Bow Wow, the nation's leading dog daycare, is celebrating National Dog Day – Aug. 26 – with a gift of three free days of daycare for new Campers at participating locations nationwide. The celebration also offers pet parents the opportunity to win a grand prize of 25 free days of Day Camp and $2,500 cash.
To try Day Camp for three free days, pet parents can register online and schedule a complimentary entrance interview for their pup Aug. 15-31. During the interview, dogs are introduced to Camp's play environment and other Campers to help them feel comfortable and confident in the space. Following a successful interview, pet parents will receive three free days of Day Camp to redeem through Nov. 15.
"Repetition and positive association are key to helping dogs feel secure in a new environment," said Molly Jespersen, Camp Bow Wow's training specialist. "Three free days give pups just enough exposure to build that comfort, so when it's time for a longer stay, like holiday boarding, they're already familiar with the space and our team."
Customized enrichment activities at Camp Bow Wow
At Camp Bow Wow, pups spend their days in open-play packs supervised by Certified Camp Counselors, with access to enrichment activities matched to each dog's energy level, preferences and unique personality:
- For the Social Butterfly – Play Pals keeps outgoing pups engaged through games like fetch and tug, providing extra exercise, enrichment and personalized attention.
- For the Explorer – Sniff & Seek taps into dogs' natural curiosity with scent games, treat hunts and mentally stimulating activities that encourage them to sniff, search and discover.
- For the Cuddle Bug – Snuggle Time offers dedicated one-on-one TLC with a Certified Camp Counselor, featuring belly rubs, gentle pets and calming relaxation for pups who love extra affection.
"Our enrichment offerings are designed by our training team with every dog's personality in mind, whether they're social, curious or more of a cuddler," said Jespersen. "These free days give new Campers the chance to try different activities and find exactly what makes them thrive."
Enrichment offerings vary by location and are available as an add-on to the Day Camp experience.
