WHY DOGTOPIA?
Since 2002, Dogtopia has provided exceptional care for dogs and currently operates more than 220 daycares throughout the United States and Canada. Dogtopia was one of the early pioneers in the dog daycare industry. That means we’ve had more than 20 years to refine and perfect our model. We also operate 5 daycares ourselves as company-owned units. We know how to make daycare a profitable business endeavor. As the U.S. pet industry is predicted to exceed $277 billion by 2030, Dogtopia is the leading franchise in the pet industry.
Validating Dogtopia’s significant growth, we were recently named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s esteemed Franchise 500® list. Dogtopia ranked at No. 51 as a result of our outstanding performance in areas including unit growth and financial performance along with strong franchisee support. Dogtopia is also No. 1 in the Pet Care category. In addition, Dogtopia was once again honored in the Top 50 Franchises by Franchise Business Review, based on rankings tabulated from independent surveys measuring franchisee satisfaction.
Dogtopia is the fastest-growing pet franchise in the United States. We plan to open franchise locations across a variety of North American markets growing to reach the 400-unit milestone by 2025. The demand for our brand, flexibility of our model and the availability of prime territories is fueling our growth. There has never been a better time to join our franchise. You could be the first to bring Dogtopia to your community!
One of the prime benefits of teaming up with a rapidly growing brand like Dogtopia is the ability to cherry-pick prime markets to open a location that is perfect for you. You have the chance to open your own Dogtopia where you know people and have connections.
“Dogtopia married my passion for business and my love for dogs, and it was a match made in heaven.”
- JONI ELDER (multi-unit franchisee), Nashville
“Addie and I joined the Dogtopia family to create a home away from home for the dogs in our neighborhood and our community.”
- ADDIE & ALI KASRAEIAN, Jacksonville
“The pet space was kind of a no brainer. The franchise model was kind of a no brainer, so it was just finding the right team. We spent a lot of time digging into structure and leadership teams. We spent some time with the executive team at Dogtopia and got a really good feel for the plan that they had in place for future growth and the level of support I could probably expect. It seemed like the right fit to make the decision to go with Dogtopia, and I definitely haven’t regretted it!”
- JOE CASTORENA, Northern California
