Camp Yellow Dog

Camp Yellow Dog provides boutique style boarding and daycamp for dogs. Our temperature controlled, fully monitored, suites can accommodate up to 8 dogs.

Camp Yellow Dog offers the best of both worlds for your dog(s); country living combined with all the comforts of home. Your dog(s) will enjoy fresh air and wide open spaces on our rural 2 acre property, located just outside of Chemainus on beautiful Vancouver Island. Camp Yellow Dog is completely fenced ensuring your dog’s safety, but allowing them the freedom to explore and play. We also offer li

mited boarding in our home for cat-friendly dogs. We never care for more than 10 campers at one time. Camp activities include; daily hikes for active dogs, walks for less active dogs, excursions, interactive play time, games, brushing, quiet time, and all the cuddles your pup would like. Campers will only be in their suites during rest periods, meals and overnight. This is what we do - we are dedicated to the care and safety of your dog(s). Camp Directors are husband and wife team, Julie Davidson and Colin Page. In 2000, Julie opened A Walk in the Park Pet Care in North Vancouver. With Colin’s support A Walk in the Park became a highly regarded and recommended, multi award winning, pet care service. In 2018, Julie and Colin decided it was time to make a long time dream come true, pass the torch, and begin a new adventure on Vancouver Island. Camp Yellow Dog is the realization of that dream. In her spare time Julie enjoys photography and creates digital art canvases from her photos: http://www.yellowdogdesigns.ca/
Colin is a skilled woodworker and builds custom furniture for pets including beds, wall mounted cat and dog feeders, and climbing perches. Credentials

UPDATE: I’ve been informed that Dottie is a 4H cow and not to be interacted with. My apologies to Amy, who is raising her. As anyone who knows me knows, I love all animals. I never meant to cause an issue. This is our neighbour’s cow. I had been calling her Daisy, but have since found out her name is Dottie. This is our (almost) daily routine 💓

Does your dog gulp their food? Using a slow feeder aids digestion by slowing your dog’s mealtime by up to 10x. Our bowls are on sale until May 31st. https://www.campyellowdog.ca/store/p4/SLOW_FEEDER_BOWL.html

⁣ This little muppet is Shanti, our newest Camper. Shanti is a nine month old labradoodle whose Mom is bringing her all the way from Nanaimo for daycamp. Now that’s dedication! ⁣ ⁣ During her Assessment Visit Shanti really hit it off with Meadow who is a wonderful mentor. ⁣ ⁣ We also introduced Shanti to our younger cat, Gertie. Gertie loves dogs and is very calm around them. ⁣ ⁣ Not many puppies have the opportunity to meet cats other than outdoors where it’s likely they’ll want to chase them, so a positive introduction to cats is a bonus perk we’re able to offer...all thanks to Gert! ⁣
