Warmer weather means more time outside. But it also means more bugs, more pollen, and more plants that can irritate your pup. 🌼🐜

Spring is beautiful, but it can be prime season for:
🐛 Fleas & ticks looking for a host
🌿 Plants that cause itching and sneezing
🌬️ Pollen that can make sensitive pups miserable

At Camp Run-A-Mutt, our controlled environments help minimize exposure to many of these outdoor irritants so your dog can enjoy all the good parts of spring without the scratchy or sneezy ones.

We monitor for signs of irritation, and our team is trained to catch when something's off with your pup (even the subtle stuff).

Spring should be fun for everyone, including for our four-legged family members. 🐾

We know you want your dog to have fun, but we also know you want them to be safe doing it. At Camp Run-A-Mutt, those two things go hand in hand. 🐾

Here's what happens before any pup joins our pack:

✅ Temperament testing: Every new dog goes through a careful introduction process so we understand their personality, energy level, and play style.

✅ Playgroup matching: Dogs are grouped thoughtfully by temperament and play style. No mismatched energy here.

✅ Eyes-on supervision: Our staff is always watching, reading body language, and directing the flow of playtime.

Your dog deserves a place where fun is safe and safety is fun. We hold ourserlves to that standard every single day.

Spring has arrived, and dogs KNOW it! 🌸

There's nothing like watching a dog hit that fresh spring air for the first time. Eyes wide. Nose going a million miles a minute. And then the zoomies begin!

At Camp Run-A-Mutt, our play yards are FULL of spring energy right now. The pups are running laps, rolling around, and soaking up every single second of sunshine.

Spring fever is very real and very contagious, but a day at Camp helps turn all those zoomies into something positive, for them and you!

Is your pup feeling the spring energy lately?

🎉 7 YEARS in the Houston Energy Corridor — and no, this isn't an April Fool's joke!

Seven years ago today, our Camp Run-A-Mutt Houston Energy Corridor location opened its doors, and what a ride it's been! We are SO proud of our franchisees for not only building something truly special here in Houston, but for doubling down on the dream — becoming the FIRST in our family to open a second location! 🙌

Twice the location. Twice the team. Twice the fun. 🐾

Thank you to every single customer, team member, and supporter who has been part of this journey. Here's to 7 years down and so many more to come!

A dog’s needs may change over time, but their need for connection, enrichment, and care never goes away.

For puppies, early experiences help shape confidence for years to come. Positive exposure to other dogs, new environments, and structured play supports healthy development and social skills.

For senior dogs, daycare provides gentle activity, mental stimulation, and social interaction that help keep them engaged and comfortable. Families have also peace of mind knowing their dogs are being looked after in a safe and supervised environment.

At Camp Run-A-Mutt, we’re proud to create spaces where dogs can thrive at every stage of life, from their time as puppies all the way into their golden years.

What stage is your dog in, and what do they enjoy most about their day? 🐾

Our dogs often communicate their needs to us, even if we don't always pick up on them. Not only is it important they get physical exercise, but also proper mental stimulation.

If you're not sure whether your pup may need some more mental stimulation, below are five common signs to look for:

Chewing furniture
Pacing
Barking at small triggers
Digging
Hyperactivity indoors

With exercise, enrichment, and socialization, you can ensure your pup lives a happy, healthy life. 🧡🐶

For dogs, play isn’t just fun—it’s mental enrichment.

When dogs interact with other dogs, they read body language, adjust their behavior, and practice social communication. That kind of engagement keeps their minds active and confident.

Sometimes dogs show us when they need more stimulation.

Common signs can include:
• Excessive barking
• Destructive chewing
• Restlessness or pacing
• Attention-seeking behaviors
• Difficulty settling down

Providing healthy outlets for both mental and physical activity can make a big difference in a dog’s overall well-being.

What’s your dog’s favorite way to stay mentally engaged? 🐕
