Dog Camp was created to provide great care in a suitable environment. JEREMY I.E PAGE Special to Tltc Statesman SCUGOG - Local canines have something new to bark about. Dog Camp, a resort for man's best friend, opens June 1 near Uxbridge on Scugog Line 12, near Marsh Mill Road. With a restored barn, 100 acres of rolling farmland, and the supervision of staff trained in pet first aid, the camp is a dog's dream. "There's nothing like this in Ontario," Ontario," says Paul Kowarsky, who works with his son, Glen, the owner of Dog Camp. "It's completely different from kennels." Mr. Kowarsky says each member of his family is a "major dog lover," and the goal of the camp is to provide great care for the animals, in an environment suitable for dogs. "It's a great rustic area," says Mr. Kowarsky. Highlights of Dog Camp include leashed hikes through 30 acres of forest forest trails, games, training, a supervised swim, and of course, nap time. Pet grooming is also available, along with professional pet portraits. No cages or small runs arc used, stresses Mr. Kowarsky. Instead, he says, a large fenced area is provided, where dogs may socialize under supervision. supervision. And getting your pet to camp shouldn't be a problem either, as a camp-mobile is on hand to transport your pooch in the form of a converted school bus, where passengers arc encouraged encouraged to bark at the cars passing by. The convenience of the camp-mobile makes the resort an ideal day-trip for dogs who may normally sleep all day, or wail anxiously by the door for their owner to return from work. Dogs are interviewed prior to their stay, says Mr. Kowarsky, to ensure they feel comfortable with the group. Any medications or specific needs are carefully carefully met, along with any special exercises exercises required by the pet. "I think the dogs were treated belter than the kids in my family," jokes Mr. Kowarsky, who thinks the concept of his son's business is very interesting and unique. "(Glen) has a good education," he explains. "And he adores dogs." Mr. Kowarsky says if everything goes according to plans, the resort may be expanded to accommodate owners as well. People would be able to stay with their pets, he says, in a beautiful area, and enjoy the facilities of the camp. In anticipation of opening, a barbecue barbecue will be held, Sunday, May 26, at Dog Camp. Everyone interested is invited invited to attend. Prices for Dog Camp are $25 per day, or $35 overnight. Weekly and monthly rates are also available, as well as three levels of obedience training. training. Dogs must be neutered or spayed to attend the camp, and have proper vaccinations. vaccinations.
