Camp Canine Santa Barbara

"I've been bringing my dog Pepperoni to Camp Canine for day camp, baths and boarding since adopting him from a shelter two years ago. He loves going there! He starts getting excited when we get close. Always eager to see his friends there. And I've had only positive experiences with the staff. A very well-managed business clearly run by dog-lovers!"

"I wish there were more places like Camp Canine in the region! Every staff member I interacted with on the phone and in person was so kind, calm and patient; and even my extra nervous pup spent very little time acclimating between when we walked in to when I handed him off. When you walk in, it feels like you're dropping your pup off at a friend's home with a lovely backyard. I especially loved catching a glimpse of him enjoying himself outside when I came back back to get him 6 hours later. Above all, I loved that when I picked him up, he didn't have that smell that says, "I've been at daycare all day!" I can't wait to drop my little one off again soon!"

"I had a highly disappointing experience at Camp Canine in Santa Barbara. The incompetence and lack of accountability displayed by the front desk staff and spa personnel left me feeling frustrated and deeply concerned for my dog. After several instances of miscommunication between the front desk staff and customers, and internally between the staff and spa, I will not be bringing my dog back. I dropped my dog off at the spa to get groomed and told the front desk to make sure the spa trims his facial hair. Upon picking him up, I noticed that they had cut off ALL of his whiskers!!! Whiskers are essential for dogs as they use them to navigate and understand their surroundings. Any responsible and knowledgeable dog caretaker should understand this basic fact and avoid such negligent actions. The side-by-side photo shows a before and after picture taken two days apart. The overall grooming was super uneven, with some spots going all the way down to his skin. Moreover, hearing about other horror stories from my friends about dogs coming home severely dehydrated after their stay at Camp Canine raises serious concerns about the establishment's lack of proper care and regulation."

"This place is truly amazing!! Wish there were more places like this. Our pup had the best time at Camp. The staff are all amazing and all of them truly love dogs. The camp itself is gorgeously amazing for dogs. I can not stop talking about this place. Its clean and so well run. Thanks again from Elvis"

"While visiting Santa Barbara I found camp Canine. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of my questions. The environment for dogs was so fun. The big dog section even has their own pool area. They will check to be sure your pet has their shots so bring your records. No appointment necessary."
