Promotion highlights benefits of socialization for strengthening pet-parent bond
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey reveals what pet parents want most for their furry family members: socialization. According to research commissioned by Camp Bow Wow, 91% of pet parents believe time with other dogs is important and 55% of pet parents believe their dogs are happier after time spent socializing. That's why the leading dog daycare provider is offering a free first day of Camp for new Campers in celebration of National Dog Day.
The survey, conducted by Talker Research, highlights the growing recognition among pet owners that social interaction is crucial for their dogs' well-being. Camp Bow Wow, which has welcomed more than 55 million dog visits since 2000, is introducing quality socialization to more pet parents through its National Dog Day offer.
"Dogs are naturally social animals, and regular social opportunities provide benefits far beyond playtime," said Erin Askeland, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, Camp Bow Wow's animal health and behavior expert. "Social interaction offers dogs essential mental stimulation, physical activity and chances to practice healthy behaviors, which help reduce destructive habits and support longer, healthier lives. When dogs are more content, relaxed and socially confident, daily life becomes easier and more enjoyable for their families, naturally strengthening the joyful bond through shared positive experiences."
Camp Bow Wow's free first day offer includes a personalized assessment, gradual introduction to the pack and detailed feedback from professional, safety-certified Camp Counselors. Dogs are slowly introduced to group play at their own pace, with only a few pups at a time, allowing for comfortable, controlled acclimation to Camp. The Camp also places dogs in the most suitable play yard based on their size and personality.
Pet parents can schedule their pup's free first day by visiting www.campbowwow.com.
In addition to the free first day, Camp Bow Wow is holding a "Wanna Go To Camp?" sweepstakes, kicking off on National Dog Day, Aug. 26, through Sept. 30. As a nod to the brand's 25th anniversary, prizes include a first-place package featuring 25 days of daycare and $2,500 cash, plus a second-place prize of 25 days of daycare.
