AN EARLY PIONEER
Dogtopia is a unique dog daycare business which opened its first location in Virginia in 2002. At that time, dog daycare was very much a new concept, and the Dogtopia approach – to create “indoor dog parks” and provide a daytime service for dog care along the lines of a children’s daycare – was extremely innovative. Since then, the idea of taking man’s best friend to doggie daycare has gained widespread popularity.
Dogtopia has a passion for caring for dogs. Happy, healthy pups are the heart of who we are. We’ve proudly created a loving environment with unparalleled safety standards and exceptional daycare, boarding, spa and grooming/training services.
When it comes to health and safety protocols, Dogtopia is the leader of the pack!
- Our supervised playrooms are equipped with UV light and microbial reduction systems within our HVAC units to reduce airborne pathogens such as viruses and bacteria
- We deep clean and disinfect every surface multiple times a day according to our rigorous and biologically safe Dogtopia Cleaning Program
- We offer valet dropoff and pickup to limit the amount of people in our lobby
- We perform Wellness Checks on each dog entering and exiting our playrooms
- We're the only dog daycare brand with an Environmental Biologist on staff - constantly evaluating products, policies and procedures
