About Dogtopia

At Dogtopia, we believe in safe socialization, exercise and education for your furry child. Our dog daycare centers provide the utmost in quality care as we separate each dog by size, temperament and promise evaluated, vaccinated dogs in a supervised environment. You can even watch them play all day via our live webcams!

While our centers offer dog daycare, boarding and spa services (with some offering grooming and training), our core service is daycare for your dog. Daycare is a purposeful choice made for the love of your dog – a selfless decision to ensure they are happy, healthy and equipped to become a well-rounded pup. Even our boarding services offer your pup an open-play environment to get them the socialization, exercise and education they deserve.Because dogs are social creatures, we believe that every dog deserves daycare – each daycare center runs very much like a child’s daycare. We provide report cards, know each pup by name and believe in 100 percent transparency. Just like it takes a village to raise children, it takes a village to raise a well-balanced pup and we will work alongside you on that journey! More than anything, we guarantee to love each pup as if it were our own.

We currently have more than 150 dog daycare centers throughout the United States and Canada. Find a Dogtopia near you and check out its individual offerings. Each of our doggie daycare centers is independently owned and operated with tremendous support behind them, dedicated to providing dogs the very best! Owners are able to tap into our “Village of Knowledge” which includes other owners, external partners and an experienced Support Office that includes an Canine Behaviorist, Veterinarian and Environmental Biologist, working together every step of the way to ensure the best experience for both our pet parents and their beloved dogs. Besides ensuring a safe and healthy open-play environment, at Dogtopia, your dog can find its BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever) and experience the Most Exciting Day Ever!
