José Morillo’s journey toward small business ownership began with a search for reliable pet care for his beloved Chihuahua, Taco. Inspired by his own paw-sitive experiences, he opened his first Camp Bow Wow location in Katy, Texas, in 2015. Today, as a multi-unit owner, José attributes his success to the leadership skills he learned as a CEO at a hospital. His dedication and hard work were recognized when he was honored as a 2023 Franchisee of the Year at the International Franchise Association Annual Convention. As a proud small business owner, José is committed to mentoring his team, which includes his daughter-in-law, Jazmine, who serves as the Director of Operations and Marketing. “It’s incredibly fulfilling to see the team create a positive experience for our campers and their pet parents,” he shares. José values his entrepreneurial journey which has allowed him to spend quality time with family while building a lasting legacy and serving the community.

It’s never been a better time to enter the pet care industry with Camp Bow Wow. As part of the brand’s 2024 Incentives Program, eligible franchise candidates that sign through December 31, 2024, will receive a 50% reduction in Royalty Fee rate and a waiver of the Minimum Monthly Royalty during the first 12 months of operations, as well as a one-time $5,000 credit towards the Project Management Fee. “When we started looking at possible options and franchises to invest in, not only did the brand stand out, but also the support provided by the franchisor,” said Michael McGee, who, along with Anthony Jover, opened Camp Bow Wow’s first location in Virginia earlier this year. “We opened Camp Bow Wow Virginia Beach because of our love of dogs, the experience we had had with Camp Bow Wow as customers and the lack of brand presence in the Virginia market when we moved here.” ?
