Castaic Canine Camp

Castaic Canine Camp is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 36975 Ridge Route Road in Castaic, CA, and it takes dogs from small breeds up to giant ones. The camp runs seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Vaccinations are required before a stay, and reservations are made online.

What the camp offers

• 36 large play yards, with play groups sorted by size and temperament
• Solo yards for dogs that do better away from a group
• Escape-proof areas secured with double safety gates
• Baths and nail trims, plus medication administration for dogs that need it
• Pickup and drop-off service, and daycare for dogs not staying the night

How the days and nights work

Daytime is spent outdoors in the yards. Dogs who enjoy company go into socialized groups matched by size and temperament, while dogs who would rather keep to themselves get a yard of their own. Every dog sleeps indoors in a crate at night. The yards are shaded and fitted with fans and misters for hot weather, and there are heaters and blankets for cold stretches.

Practical details

The hours are the same every day of the week, which helps when travel plans do not line up neatly with a business schedule. Grooming extras such as baths and nail trims can be added to a stay, and staff can give medication. Owners bringing more than one dog, or planning a longer trip, should ask about multi-dog discounts and extended-stay rates.
