My dog has a great time at DogTopia, but she comes home dirty and sometimes smelly. This last visit she had been wiped down up top and didn’t smell too bad but the backs of her legs were so dirty I had to hose them off when I got home.
Everything. It is the best place for our dog when we are busy.
Include the outdoor space on the website. I need to board my dog and ruled this place out for boarding because there was no mention of having outdoor space or taking them outside at any points in the day. Plus, reviews state dogs are allowed to potty in play area which makes it seem they’re not taken outside as well. We completed and passed the meet and greet but I have yet to be given access to the Webcam. My dog has even attended daycare here already. Webcam access was the primary reason I chose this place. Also, meet and greets should be provided over the weekend. Unsure if it was a timing issue, but was only available for weekday mornings when I looked. Luckily, I have the work flexibility to do that, but some don’t. Also, if scheduling these during weekday mornings, be on time and prepared as people may need to get back to work. Mine started like 20 min late due to looking for and confirming paperwork that I’d sent over twice beforehand so I was late returning to work.
Friendly.
I love that it’s an air-conditioned indoor facility and that the staff are friendly and offer insight as to how my dog did throughout the day.
The webcams are a great feature as well!
My dog has lots of energy and is naturally social. I found that dogtopia is a great place for him to have appropriate interaction and play with other dogs like him. I do appreciate watching him on the Webcam when it’s available. It’s nice to see he is always getting along and when he isn’t they put them in a crate to decompress. I can’t explain how much I’ve appreciated that structure because it’s so important. They always contact me when something happens no matter what. I think what makes for me is that my dog is always super excited to go and he never wants to leave. That’s how it should be.
Have the manage call me. It’s been 2 weeks and multiple messages left and nothing
Flexibility on scheduling baths is important to us. We may forget to cancel one week but then we hope you will work with us to make it up another week.
Apollo always comes home smelling not great after he has been there. Not sure what the smell is?
Everything!
Love the staff. Appreciate that they know me and my dog – consistent professional interactions.
