Westminster, CO, January 31, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Camp Bow Wow®, the largest and leading doggy day care and boarding franchise, is kicking off 2018 on a high note as the brand has been recognized for the third consecutive year as #1 in the Pet Businesses Franchises category on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list.

Camp Bow Wow has proven to be a brand to watch in 2018 and with more than 1,000 companies applying, the 39th annual Franchise 500 ranking is one of the most competitive in its history. These accolades are a testament to the brand’s position as the leader of the Pet Care industry.
“Our team is proud to be recognized within the pet industry, franchise industry and business world with honorable accolades and wonderful opportunities. Our number one priority is giving all pets the commitment, care and safety they deserve, so receiving these distinctions by doing just that, is simply an added bonus,” said Camp Bow Wow President, Christina Russell.

Leading a presentation titled, “Boarding and Daycare Unleashed: Inside Tips from the Big Dog,” Russell shared ideas and best practices for staying ahead of the expanding Pet Grooming & Boarding Industry.
At her next speaking engagement in February, Russell is slated to be on a panel titled “Leadership: The Formula for Success” at the high-profile International Franchise Association Convention in Phoenix, Arizona.
